OASIS COVER
WARNING
At this point, if there is no water in the spa and the
ambient air temperature is below 50 °F (10 °C), a
temporary heater must be installed inside the spa
for 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the heater is in the spa, lower the cover until
it touches the seal to increase the air temperature.
While generating heat, regularly check interior air
temperature and do not let it reach temperatures
above 104 °F (40 °C). After 10 to 15 minutes,
remove the heater and continue with the seal
installation.
The rubber seal should not be overheated. Do not
directly heat the acrylic or seal, as this may cause
permanent damage.
Do not install the heater too close to the acrylic
surface, as the surface could melt or catch on fire.
Install the heater on a pedestal or spacers so it will
not rest directly on the acrylic of the spa.
WARNING
Make sure that the air temperature in the spa is still
between 68 °F and 104 °F (20 °C and 40 °C) before
proceeding to the next steps.
Remove all dirt, oil residues and moisture from the
underside of the cover for proper seal adhesion,
especially in wet spa installations. The use of mild
detergent can help clean the surface.
Make sure the seal stays tight in the clips to ensure
its proper positioning.
9. Test the seal placement by lowering the cover
about 1/4" (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.
10. Completely lower the cover onto the seal.
Leave the cover in this position for at least 5
minutes to ensure a proper seal- to- cover
adhesion.
11. Slowly lift up the cover no more than 1/4" (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 from
the clips.
12. Once satisfied that the seal is released, lift up
the cover 36" (91 cm) high. Apply a minimal
pressure of 15 psi (103 kPa) on the seal with
the roller as shown in
to properly
bond the adhesive to the underside of the
cover.

13. Remove all seal clips and tape (if applied)
from the spa top edges.
14. Lower the cover and stop at approximately 6"
(15 cm) from the spa top edges.
15. Make sure the cover is flat with all corners at
the same height.
16. Lower the cover, and make sure the seal is
touching the spa all around. The heater can be
put back in place if necessary.
17. Completely lower the cover and leave it
closed for at least 24 hours. This will ensure
the seal is properly bonded to the cover
surface. The heater can be put back in place if
necessary.
18. The seal installation is completed.
