INSTALLATION MANUAL
7) Use the supplied seal connector and insert it in
both ends of the seal. It is recommended to use
masking tape to hold the two ends tightly
together. (Figure 103)
WARNING
At this point, if the ambient air temperature is
below 32
o
F (0
o
C), a temporary heater must be
placed inside the hot tub for 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the heater is in the hot tub, lower the cover
until it touches the seal to increase the air
temperature. After 10 to 15 minutes, remove the
heater and continue with the seal installation.
The rubber seal should not be overheated; the
maximum temperature it can withstand is 150
o
C
(302
o
F). Do not directly heat the acrylic and seal,
as this may cause permanent damage. Example,
do not place the heater too close to the acrylic
surface, as the surface could melt or catch fire.
Place the heater on a pedestal or spacers to
avoid directly placing it on the acrylic tub.
8)
Test the seal placement by lowering the cover
about1/4 in. (6 mm) over the seal to ensure that
the entire perimeter
will make contact
with the
seal. If you are satisfied, raise the cover and
remove the red plastic backing off the seal.
CAUTION
Ensure the underside of the cover is completely
dry before adhering the seal.
Make sure the seal remains tightly in the clips to
ensure its proper positioning.
9) Completely lower the cover onto the seal. Leave
the cover in this position for
at least
5
minutes
to
ensure proper seal-to-cover adhesion.
WARNING
At least
5 minutes
is necessary to ensure proper
adhesion of the seal at 70°F (21°C). Less than
5
minutes
could cause the seal to release after a
short period of time.
10) Slowly raise the cover no more than a 1/4 in. (6
mm). and leave the cover in this position for about
10 seconds, as this will allow the seal to slowly
and fully release from the seal clips. You can also
use a non-abrasive plastic tool or your fingers to
help release the seal.
11) Once satisfied that the seal is released, raise the
cover 36 in (91 cm) high. Apply pressure on the
seal to properly bond the adhesive to the
underside. To apply pressure to the seal, simply
push it against the Covana cover with your hands.
12)
Remove the seal clips and tape from the hot tub’s
edge.
13) Completely lower the Covana cover completely
and leave it there for
at least another five
minutes.
This will ensure the seal is properly
bonded.
WARNING
At least
5 minutes
is necessary to ensure proper
adhesion of the seal at 70 °F (21 °C). Less than
5 minutes
could cause the seal to release after
a short period of time.
14) Raise the Covana cover again to approx. 6 in.
(15 cm) and stop.
15) Make sure the cover is flat and there are no
corners higher than the others.
16) Lower the cover again, and make sure the seal is
touching the hot tub all around and there is no
steam leaking.
17) Lift the cover all the way up and pay attention for
any unusual sounds. (screeching or knocking) If
so, refer to
Troubleshooting
section or call your
local dealer.
18) The installation process is almost done.
There is
a checklist for the installer and the customer
at the end of this manual
. Check the sections to
ensure everything has been done properly.
It is
very important to sign both copies and tear off
the installer’s copy.
