The SpaEase 100 was designed for a specific use. The SpaEase 100 is not designed to BEND, WARP, or to be ABUSE PROOF. Do
Not stand, sit, or lie on, or permit heavyweight to rest on the SpaEase 100. Do not clean with abrasives, solvents, or strong
detergents. Most of the hardware has been Zinc coated for durability but will deteriorate quicker when exposed to high levels of
Chlorine, Bromine, Ozone, or other active chemicals. Check nuts and bolts often and tighten if necessary.
Any parts showing evidence of wear should be replaced immediately. Call 1-860-469-2580 or email [email protected]
for any replacement or special-order parts. Caution must be used when operating the SpaEase 100 in order to maintain its
function and longevity. The maintenance and use instructions are provided to prevent damage to the SpaEase 100. Damage
caused by the failure to follow the maintenance and operation instructions will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
How to OPEN your spa cover using the SpaEase 100:
1. Fold spa cover onto itself.
2. Lift SpaEase 100 and spa cover to upright position by
lifting at the Foam Grip (T) on the Support Arm (A),
while supporting the middle of the cover with the other
hand. The Pivot Arm will stop when it contacts the
Mounting Bracket (F).
How to CLOSE your spa cover using the SpaEase 100:
1. With the spa cover in the upright position, hold the Foam
Grip (T) on the Support Arm (A), and slowly guide the cover
and SpaEase 100 onto the spa shell. NEVER allow the spa
cover to fall onto the spa shell unassisted, as it can cause
