end of the pump until water begins to flow through, then retighten the union and try turning the pump on
again.
Alternatively contact the store of purchase for advice on other ways to remove an air lock.
Note:
Please ensure the drain fitting is closed before filling the spa with water, see instructions on page 8.
HARDCOVER INSTALLATION
Locate the green bag, which is taped to the spas packaging. This bag has the screws to fit your hardcover
locks to the spas cabinet as well as a key for the hardcover locks. Use the smaller screws supplied in this
bag.
Place your hardcover on the spa and position it to fold in the direction of your preference.
On each strap of the hardcover there is a black plastic lock. Press the two prongs on each lock together
and gently pull downwards to remove the section of the lock which you will need to screw onto the spas
cabinet. With the section of the lock you have in your hand place it behind the prongs which are attached to
the hardcover strap lined up so that the bottom of each part is flush. Now raise the section of the lock you
have in your hand towards the top of the spa by 2cm and mark the position of the two holes on each lock
onto the spas cabinet. Using the smaller screws supplied in the green bag screw each lock onto the spas
cabinet. Do not pre-drill holes the screws will self-tap in, if using a drill stop before the screw is completely
tight and finish tightening the screw by hand, if you over tighten the lock you will crack the plastic.
HARDCOVER USE & CARE
To lift the hardcover, place your hand underneath the valance and lift the hardcover itself not from the
handles or valance. The handles & valance on the hardcover are not for lifting or pulling the hardcover,
lifting or pulling on the handles or valance will tear the vinyl & stitching. Never stand, sit or apply any weight
to the hardcover this will bend or break the hardcover. Do not open the zippers on your hardcover they can
be extremely difficult to close and may not close at all. To clean your hardcover wipe both the top vinyl and
underside over with a damp fresh tap water cloth. Do not use the spas water to wipe the hardcover this will
leave chemical stains on the cover. To extend the life expectancy of your hardcover apply 303 aerospace
protectant to the vinyl side of your hardcover every 30 days and balance your spas water weekly as per the
chemical instructions we have supplied you with. Poorly balanced water can blister your hardcover and
breakdown the stitching.
Your hardcover must always be locked to the spas cabinet when the spa is not in use. Leaving the cover off
exposes your spa to the elements which can cause permanent damage to the spas acrylic shell and fittings,
it also allows leaves, dust etc. to enter your spa. Debris in the spa can cause blockages or damage to the
equipment.
SYNTHETIC CABINET CARE
Do not use any chemicals to clean your synthetic cabinet. The best way to clean your cabinet is to regularly
wipe it down with a micro fibre cloth and fresh tap water. Where possible try to keep the cabinet from being
exposed to the sun as this causes colour fade in the cabinet and can also cause the cabinet to warp.
Cabinets will have step outs where the cabinet doors do not meet each other. We make the cabinet doors
in smaller panels to make the spa easier to service which causes the step outs you will see.
ACRYLIC SHELL CARE
One a week use a chemical free micro fibre cloth and wipe down the acrylic spa shell in and above the
water line.
EMPTY SPA WARNING
An empty or partially empty spa of water during sunlight hours can cause deforming, melting, crazing,
discolouration, blisters or holes in the spa’s fiberglass, acrylic and fittings, this can happen within minutes of
the spa being emptied or partially empty. Your warranty does not cover deforming, melting, crazing,
discolouration, blisters or holes in the spa’s acrylic and fittings, so it is especially important your hardcover is
on the spa when not in use and the spa is filled with water at all times during daylight hours.
DRAINING THE SPA - USING THE DRAIN FITTING WARNING:
Never drain or partially drain your spa of water in sunlight hours.
Always drain your spa at night time & fully refill your spa with water the same night.
