Every Watkins cover has 6 aluminum plates 
installed into the foam core hidden beneath the 
vinyl on 3 sides of the cover. There are two plates 
on the opposite side of the Warning Label and two 

on each side of the cover (Figure 1.4).  

Only the hidden aluminum plate closest to the 
middle of the cover on each side is used for this 
cover lifter as well as the two plates in the back 
opposite the Warning Label.
There are two predrilled holes on the top of each 
plate. Feel around the side of the cover to fi nd the 
holes in the plates. Use a fi ne tip marker to mark 
the center of the hole for each of the four plates 
that will be used (Figure 1.4).
