Note: The handle will face towards
the middle of the spa when the cover mounting bracket is attached to the cover.
Step #5

bracket, that is attached to the cover, using the supplied 2” button head socket bolts,
washers, plastic shim washers & locknuts and let the assembly hang freely (
see Fig. 5).
Note: Make sure to use the supplied plastic washers as a spacer in between the pivot arms
and the Vanish XL cover mounting brackets (see Fig. 5).
Do not overtighted the bolts, the

bracket assembly to the spa cabinet using the supplied #10 x 1-1/2” mounting
