INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
The hot tub cover must be in the closed position prior to
mounting the lifter. Position the hot tub cover properly so it is
sitting squarely on the hot tub. Attach the pre-assembled
mounting bracket (see illustration 1) near the back, and close to
the top edge of the hot tub using the #10-1”woodscrews. We
recommend pre-drilling all holes with a 1/16” drill bit.
STEP 2
Ensure the cover hooks and foam grips are in place as shown in
illustration 2. Insert the longer end of the corner support arms
into the center pole so that it is situated parallel to the hot tub
cover with the cover hooks under the seam of the cover (see
illustrations 3 and 6).
STEP 3
Insert the slider pivot bracket into the mounting bracket and
position it so that the slider pivot bracket lines up with the back
of the hot tub and secure using #10-5/8” tapping screws (see
illustration 4).
STEP 4
Slide the hydraulic clamp over the pivot arm so that the flat side
of the clamp is to the outside pointing down. Slide the pivot arm
over the shorter end of the corner support arm. Align the pivot
bracket and feed the bolt pin through the bracket, through the
nylon washer, through the pivot arm and secure using the clevis
pin (see illustration 4).
PRE-ASSEMBLY

STEP 5
Make sure the center pole is located 1” from the middle seam of
the cover on the lifter side (see illustration 5). Attach the center
pole to the corner support arms using 6 of the #10- 5/8 self
tapping screws. Pre-drilling the corner support arms is advised.
We recommend rotating the center pole so that the screws are
inserted horizontally.
STEP 6
Secure the pivot arms to the corner support arms using 6 #10-
5/8” self tapping screws.
STEP 7
HYDRAULIC ARM ASSEMBLY
OPEN THE HOT TUB COVER TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION
Fasten the ball studs to the outside of the hydraulic clamp and
pivot bracket holes located at “C” and “D” using 5/16”-C-NY
lock nuts. Attach the larger end of the hydraulic arm to the ball
stud at C by pressing the end fitting over the ball stud. Align the
smaller end of the hydraulic arm with the hydraulic clamp, and
attach to ball stud at D. Tighten the hydraulic clamp into place
using two #10-32 button head machine screws. Secure the
hydraulic clamp in position on the pivot arm using two of the
5/8” self-tapping screws. Repeat on the other side of the hot
tub. If you need to remove the hydraulic arm, GENTLY pry the
half-circle collar to release the spring from the ball stud.
STEP 8
Cover all wood screws and tapping screws with plastic caps.
YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR LIFTER.
NOTE:
The J-pin is inserted into the pivot brackets and through the
round pivot arm when the hot tub cover is in the open position
for added safety and removed when the cover is to be closed.
When the cover is closed, the J-pin can be inserted into “J-pin
storage” for safe-keeping.
