Step 13.
The white dotted arrow demonstrates the importance
of the 5cm allowance space for the cover lifter to move
without damaging the spa cover.
Step 14.
Slide the long ends of the
bent arms with foam into the
side
straight coupler tubes. Now the four bent arms
and the four straight coupler tubes make up a square
frame. Ensure that the straight coupler is centred
slightly forward of the cover seam.
Step 15.
Screw all four
straight couplers using the 3⁄4" black tek
screw. There are six per coupler. There are three holes
on each end of the couplers. Once you have aligned
everything perfectly, use the hole as a guide to drill a
hole through to the inner tube. They are smaller than
the screws, but a drill will drive the screws through.
Step 16.
Lift the assembled cover lifter frame into the upright
position, approximately at 20 degrees. Stretch the
nylon
strap towards the centre of the spa. Secure it near the
top of the cabinet by using the
1" metal screw provided.
Repeat on the other side.
Step 17.
Install
black PVC push caps on each of the screw heads.
Step 18.
Fasten the strap onto the side coupler bar using the
3⁄4" black tek screw provided.
Step 19.
The cover lifter is now installed and ready to use.
