DURACOVER™
When the spa is not in use, the DuraCover 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 adjustable
straps, safety locks, and handles. Use the exterior handles to remove and
replace your cover. 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 cover lock straps may be necessary to minimize cover damage.
NOTE: Marquis' exclusive DuraCover is designed for optimum protection of
the spa shell. Using an aftermarket cover will not provide the same protec-
tion 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 metal 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 fall 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 can be purchased or
exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis
s ta r ti ng y o u r s p a
dealer.
