INSTALLATION

When the spa is not in use, the cover should be kept on the spa to retain the water's heat and to
keep out dirt, leaves, etc.
For your safety and convenience, the cover is equipped with straps, safety locks, and handles.
Use the exterior handles to remove and replace your cover after breaking the vacuum seal with
one hand. Never attempt to open or remove the cover by grasping or pulling on the cover skirting
or cover lock straps as the skirting will tear.
Marquis suggests you use the safety locks to help keep out unintended users, prevent covers
®
from being blown off in windy conditions and to maximize heat retention/energy efficiency. The
cover and retractable cover system are not recommended for use in wind conditions reaching
above 25 miles per hour. If your spa is located in an area susceptible to high winds, additional
Hold-Down wind straps may be necessary to minimize cover damage.
NOTE: Marquis ' exclusive cover is designed for optimum protection of the spa shell. Using an
®
aftermarket cover will not provide the same protection and will void the shell warranty.
Open the spa cover:
1. Unfasten all cover lock straps.
2. Place one hand under the cover skirting, between the spa and cover, to break the cover's
vacuum seal. Do not use cover handles to break vacuum seal.
3. Fold the front half of the cover over onto the back half.
NOTE: Unlock and release all cover locks before attempting to open cover. Damage caused by
attempting to open the cover while locked or by wind is not covered under warranty. Do not walk,
stand, climb, or sit on the vinyl cover or retractable cover system. Do not use hard, sharp, or met-
al objects, such as a windshield scraper, to remove ice. Such objects can cut, mar, or puncture
the cover's vinyl surface.
Close the spa cover:
1. Slide folded cover onto one half of spa.
2. Unfold the cover by lifting the handle located on the top (front) half of the cover. Allow the
unfolded half to gently drop down onto the spa.
3. Secure the cover lock straps to the spa and lock them.
NOTE: When opening a cover with a cover removal mechanism, use one of the manufacturer's
recommended methods. Do not attempt to open the cover in any other way. Damage caused
by improper opening or closing of the cover is not covered under the warranty. Fading, staining,
torn stitching of the spa cover and broken foam cores are not covered under the warranty for
any reason. Spa covers do not qualify for labor coverage under the warranty. These parts may be
purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis
COVER
Dealer.
