The SPAccessories Cover Classic is a spa cover lifter designed to assist in removing and storing spa covers, making it easier to access and use your hot tub. This manual provides detailed instructions for its installation and use, along with warranty information and a parts list.
Function Description:
The Cover Classic Lifter is designed to adjust to fit most square/rectangular spas up to 99 inches in width. When assembled, it forms a rectangular shape that attaches to the back of the spa cabinet, either on the back wall or the pedestal base. The lifter works by having its Bridge Arms positioned parallel to the seam (hinge) of the spa cover. When the cover is folded back over these arms, the lifter "captures" it. To remove the cover, users simply lift back on the Bridge Arm, and the Cover Classic Lifter will lift the cover off the spa and hold it in an upright position behind the spa, providing easy access to the spa. The device is intended to simplify the process of opening and closing heavy spa covers, reducing strain and potential damage to the cover or the user.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: Fits most square/rectangular spas up to 99 inches in width.
- Clearance Requirement: Requires a minimum of 18 inches of clearance behind the spa for proper operation and cover storage.
- Mounting: Attaches to the spa cabinet's back wall or pedestal base. Universal Under Cabinet Brackets are available from dealers for round, oval, or octagonal spas.
- Materials: Components include Corner Pieces (A), Bridge Arms (B), Mounting Blocks (C), Retaining Chains (D), Chain Brackets (E), a Towel Holder (F), and Screw End Caps (G).
- Fasteners: Utilizes various screws for assembly and mounting:
- 32 Metal Screw #10 x 5/8"
- 6 Wood Screw #8 x 5/8"
- 12 Wood Screw #8 x 1/4"
- Tools Required for Installation: Power/cordless drill with a Phillips bit and a tape measure.
Usage Features:
- Ease of Use: Once installed, the lifter allows for easy removal and storage of the spa cover with a simple lifting motion. The cover is held upright behind the spa, keeping it off the ground and out of the way.
- Adjustability: The lifter's width can be adjusted to match the spa's dimensions, ensuring a snug and secure fit. The Bridge Arms slide into the Corner Pieces, allowing for customization of the width.
- Towel Holder: Includes a Towel Holder (F) that can be attached to the side corner pieces, providing a convenient place to hang towels.
- Retaining Chain System: Features a Retaining Chain (D) and Chain Bracket (E) system that helps stabilize the cover when it's in the upright, open position, preventing it from falling back onto the spa or moving excessively. This system ensures approximately 1 inch of clearance between the spa cover and the back of the spa cabinet when the cover is hanging vertically.
- Pre-drilled Pilot Holes: Corner Pieces (A) come with pre-drilled pilot holes, simplifying the assembly process by guiding the self-tapping screws into the Bridge Arms (B).
Maintenance Features:
- Durability: The product is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of ONE YEAR under normal use. A FIVE-YEAR limited warranty covers component failures resulting from unusual factory defects, excluding shocks.
- Parts Replacement: Under the one-year warranty, defective parts will be replaced FREE of charge, with freight paid by SPAccessories.
- Warranty Claims: Warranty claims require a photo and proof of purchase and should be submitted to the SPAccessories Warranty Claim Department via their website. Defective parts may be requested for return, freight prepaid, to their Tucson, AZ address, but returns must be pre-authorized.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover damages from freight, abuse, misuse, improper installation, abnormal usage, fading, minor deteriorations due to environmental factors, or chemical substances. It also explicitly states that the use of the device with old, waterlogged covers may damage both the cover and the lifter, implying that maintaining a healthy, non-waterlogged cover is crucial for the longevity of the lifter. The obligation under warranty is limited to replacing or repairing parts, and does not cover costs of repair, removal, installation, or consequential damage.
The SPAccessories Cover Classic is designed to be a practical and durable solution for managing spa covers, enhancing the overall spa experience by making cover handling effortless and safe. Proper installation and adherence to the specified clearance requirements are essential for optimal performance and to ensure the longevity of both the lifter and the spa cover.
