INSTALLATION MANUAL
6)
When the seal is installed around the entire swim
spa, you must cut the extra length as straight as
possible for the best joint finishing results.
7)
Use the supplied seal connector and insert it in
both ends of the seal. The use of masking tape
to hold the two ends is recommended. (Figure
79)
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 tube for 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the heater is in the hot tube, 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 302
o
F
(150
o
C). 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 heater on pedestal or spacers to not
directly place the heater on the acrylic tub.
8) Test the seal placement by lowering the cover
¼ 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 stays tightly in the clips to
ensure its proper positioning.
9) 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 seal to release after a
short period of time.
10) Raise the cover no more than a ¼ in. (6 mm).
and leave the cover here 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 tub
s’
edge.
13) 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 seal to release after a
short period of time.
14) Use the key to raise it about 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 tube all the way 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
consult
the
Troubleshooting or contact your local dealer
.
18) Lower cover completely, the seal installation is
done.
