To remove the side panel on a Caldera Series hot tub:

1. Remove the 2 screws from the bottom corners of the panel.
2. Locate the notches at the bottom of the panel.
3. Place your fingers at the center notch on one side and gently pull to release the first clip.
4. Move to the center notch on the other side and pull to release the second clip.
5. Lower and remove the panel.

This gives access to the motor and drain plugs.
