3. Determining Which Type of Installation is Right for Your Hot Tub
|
1. PLEASE consider the following before installing your Cover Lift:
- The Channel Bracket (pre-assembled pivot assembly) should be mounted 2-5" from the back edge of your hot tub.
- The pivot assembly should not interfere with your hot tub cover.
- Determine whether or not the Side Mount Brackets are necessary for installing the Cover Lift to your hot tub. (See A & B below)
|
|
A
Use the Side Mount Brackets to assemble your Cover Lift when:
- The top rail around your hot tub is not wide enough to accommodate the Channel Bracket of the Pivot Assembly
- The Cover Lift is the same size or wider than the wood rim of your hot tub's cabinet.
|
B
DO NOT use the Side Mount Brackets to assemble your Cover Lift when:
- The Channel Bracket of the Pivot Assembly can be mounted directly to the deck of an in-ground hot tub.
- The Channel Brackets can be mounted directly to the top of your hot tub's cabinet without interfering with the Cover Lift.
|
Channel Bracket is mounted directly to the top of the wood rim of the cabinet.
The cover moves freely between the cover lift and the hot tub.
|
Side Mount Bracket is mounted to the side of the hot tub's cabinet in order to leave room for a cabinet size cover.
|
Side Mount Bracket is mounted to the side of the hot tub's top rail on the first flat surface approximately 2" - 5" from the corner of the hot tub.
|
Channel Bracket is offset of the top of a Side Mount Bracket; brining the Pivot Assembly 2" - 5" from the back edge of the hot tub cover.
