Page 17: First Steps
First Steps 1. Remove the spa’s packaging. This includes the plastic outer and the thermal wrapping, which you may wish to save for future use. 2. Assemble your cover lifter. Once the spa is full, it will be too heavy to lift and you will not be able to fit your cover lifter. We recommend assembling the cover lifter before delivery so that you can attach it once the spa is placed into position. -
Page 18: Hard Cover Installation
Hard Cover Installation Position the spa cover on the spa, ensuring that the spa skirt is smooth and not folded in any location. Pull the spa strap tightly downward, then press the buckle against the spa cabinet. Whilst holding the buckle against the cabinet, release the top strap from the buckle by pressing the sides and unclipping. -
Page 19: Cover Lifter Installation
Cover Lifter Installation Before Starting You will need a drill and a tape measure. Please ensure all parts listed are present in preparation for the assembly of your cover lifter.

- Page 21 Step 3. Place one straight coupler tube between the two brackets. Step 4. It is optional to screw the base brackets to the base of the spa from within the cabinetry, or onto decking (if placing the spa on a deck). However, the weight of the spa once filled with water will be sufficient to hold the bracket securely.
- Page 22 Step 7. Place another straight coupler tube to the other end of the bent arm without foam on the right and the left. You can keep them lying flat on the ground for now. Step 8. Slide nylon pivot straps over each of the straight coupler tubes on each side.
- Page 23 Step 10. Place bent arms with foam in front of the centre seam of the cover as shown. Do this for the left and right side. Important: If the length of the face parallel to the cover is less than 2m, place the short ends on the seam of the spa.
- Page 24 Step 13. The white dotted arrow demonstrates the importance of the 5cm allowance space for the cover lifter to move without damaging the spa cover. Step 14. Slide the long ends of the bent arms with foam into the side straight coupler tubes. Now the four bent arms and the four straight coupler tubes make up a square frame.
