EQUIPMENT ACCESSIBILITY AND PROTECTION
The equipment must be located in an area where it will remain serviceable, dry and will not be exposed to rain,
snow or ground water.
UNLOADING / HANDLING YOUR HOT TUB
All Hydropool hot tubs are shipped with a protective layer of foam wrap, cardboard and plastic film. Each hot
tub is factory strapped to a wooden skid. If your hot tub is to be delivered by your local dealer, it will generally
arrive on a flat-bed truck or low profile trailer. Most dealers are equipped with the necessary equipment to
maneuver the hot tub from the truck to the dolly or cart that will be used to move your hot tub to the installation
location.
Should your hot tub arrive in a common closed box trailer, it may be necessary to arrange with a local towing
company for a tilt and load tow truck, with a pulley winch system, to pull the skid from the larger trailer to the
lower profile tow truck flat bed. The hot tub can be gently slid off the low profile trailer and positioned on its side
on a cart or dolly on its back side only.
Most Hydropool models require a clearance width of at least 100 cm (39 inches) to allow movement of the unit
on its side through alley-ways, fence openings, etc. Where this is not possible, the use of a crane to lift the hot
tub from the truck or trailer over the house to the patio or yard is often a simple and economical option.
Do not move or place the hot tub on the side where the equipment is located as damage could
occur.
Never roll or flip the hot tub over end as the cabinet could get damaged.
Never lift or handle the hot tub by the plumbing.
Make sure that there is sufficient assistance to gently slide the hot tub off the dolly or cart to the
support base without any damage.
Important Note: Damage caused during transportation of by improper handling is not covered by the
factory warranty.
