base to build the top section of the cover, and
later transfer it to the hot tube once it is
assembled. If you use a table, use the foam to
support the cover assembly and prevent damage
to the cover.
CAUTION
If there is limited space, please follow the next
steps while assembling directly onto the hot
tube. Avoid scratching the hot tub or any
components of the cover.

WARNING
When assembling C-channel onto foam panel,
be careful not to delaminate the fiberglass.
6) Slide one I-beam with I to C brackets in the C-
channels on both side of the middle panel. Place
the I-beams in such manner where the bent
portion of I to C connection is pointing inwards.

panel. Ensure the sticker in the I-beam is facing
upwards. (Figure 42)
CAUTION
Ensure up right position of I-beam.
When inserting the I-beam into the fiberglass
foam panel, make sure not to damage it.
Make sure the I-beam has cleared bottom and
