properly positioned and square on the spa.

Step #2

supplied 1-1/4" button head socket bolt (see Fig. 1). Note: The handle will face towards

the middle of the spa when the cover mounting bracket is attached to the cover.

Step #3

Attach the cover mounting bracket to the side of the cover, measure 12 inches from the

back edge of the cover and mark the bracket position (see Fig. 2). Note: When standing

in front of the spa, the cover mounting bracket-left will be attached to the left side of the

cover. Next, using the supplied 3M glue adhesive, apply glue to the underside of the

to both the vertical and horizontal sides of the cover mounting bracket where they come into

contact with the cover.

of the cover closed and proceed to Step #6.

just forward of the edge of the corner skirting panel of the spa. Attach the Vanish XL

bracket assembly to the spa cabinet using the supplied #10 x 1-1/2" mounting

screws. Note: Install the bracket mounting screws from just behind the front pivot arm

forward. Do not install the bracket mounting screws further back, otherwise the bracket

will warp causing the lifter to not work properly (see Fig. 6).
