Put a pencil mark at the center of the Extension Tube and slide
it partially into the previously installed Crossover Bar. Leave it
unsecured and resting on the cover. The pencil mark will assist you
later in positioning Extension Tube equally between both sides
(See fig 10)
Slide the 2nd Adjustable Bracket onto the 2nd Swing Arm, again making certain that the larger oblong hole faces up and
towards the rear of the spa. Then slide the Swing Arm tube into the Crossover Bar and position the opposite side of the
Swing Arm onto the Boss on the Mounting Bracket closest to the rear of the spa (See Fig 11). Secure the Swing Arm just as
it was done on the other side, see Fig 9.
Again, make certain to install both Teflon Washers, the Machined Washer before tightening the Hex Bolt until the Lock
Washer is compressed.
Slightly lift the cover at the fold, then slide the bottom half of the Lower Clamp into the Slit on the Cover with the slotted
holes over the Bolts on the Upper Clamp. Do not center the Clamps on the slit. (See Fig 11) Position them as close to the
cover fold as possible. Install and hand tighten the ¼” Nylon Lock Nuts on the Upper Clamp. It is recommended to use a
Wood Clamp(See Fig 11B) to squeeze the Upper and Lower Clamps before securely tightening the Nylon Lock Nuts with a
wrench securely on the Cover. Hand squeezing the two clamps may suffice, but it may loosen over time requiring you to
retighten them.
REPEAT ON THE OTHER SIDE
Move to opposite side of spa and slide the longer side of the 2nd
Crossover Bar through the 2nd Upper Clamp. Then slide it over
the other side of Extension Tube. Have the pencil mark on the
Extension Tube equally distanced on both sides (See Fig 10). Leave
all parts unsecured.
STEP 7 – POSITION “EXTENSION TUBE”
STEP 9 – INSTALL 2ND SWING ARM
STEP 10 – INSTALL “BOTTOM CLAMPS”
STEP 8 – POSITION 2ND“CROSSOVER BAR” ON
OPPOSITE SIDE
NOTE: It is important to make certain the pre-drilled holes
in each of the Crossover Bars are covered underneath by the
Extension Tube.
