16 INSTALLATION PREPARATION INSTALLATION MANUAL
INSTALLATION
PREPARATION
To ensure safe use of the Covana cover, it must be
installed on a properly prepared surface. It is
important to adequately prepare the foundation and
carefully read the following recommendations.
Location considerations
Ensure the future Evolution cover location is not
subjected to water downpour or debris falling
from another rooftop.
Ensure that the base of the Covana cover is not
in a flood zone. Any damage caused by flooding
or water accumulation will not be covered under
the warranty.
Ensure there are no obstacles, such as branches
or electrical power lines, in the operating range
of the Covana cover.
Refer to the Technical specifications section for
dimensions of cover.
Ensure there is safe access to the hot tub, free
of obstacles or debris.
All the base components of the Covana cover
must be supported by the foundation.
Ensure the Covana cover is installed on a clean
surface free of any vegetation, such as grass,
branches or roots, or mineral contaminants, such
as rocks, dust or sand.
The key switch must be permanently mounted
and located 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from the hot tub
and 5 ft. (1.5 m) above the deck or ground level.
(Figure 25) This ensures the user has a clear
view of the Covana cover when operating it.
Furthermore, the key switch terminal should be
located in a place where no water downpour or
debris could fall on it.
WARNING
Failure to permanently install the key switch as
indicated could cause serious injury or even
death and void the warranty and certification.
Only proper installation of the key switch
combined with the suggested procedures and
caution will reduce such risks.
Do not place the roof in an area prone to snow
accumulation and water runoff.
DANGER
Failure to properly install the key switch
according to these instructions could result in
injury or even death.
