Product description
Thank you for choosing LiftCap®, a handheld swim spa covering system.
Mechanical cover lifter including tapered hard cover for swim spas “LiftCap®”is unique design which utilizes
stainless steel arms with dual gas shocks for lifting of three section premium hard cover of length from 12’ to
19’ (380 cm to560 cm).
This lifting system consists of a cover with a reinforced frame, stainless steel handles, pneumatic pistons and
anchors for above-ground installations on the cabinet or in-ground installations on the floor around the swim
spa. The system is dimensionally variable and meets the highest standards of thermal insulation cover. Piston
lifting has been engineered for easy handling by onemadult. The cover is in the open position securely placed
next to the swim spa. The cover consists of aluminium frame, insulating polystyrene panels, vapor barrier and
water resistant materials, like vinyl. Sections of the cover are joined together by hinges for easy opening and
closing. Cover is divided into three sections, the first two single sections are not too heavy therefore they can be
lifted without help of pistons.
How to use the cover and the lifter is shown in the photo guide section below.
The LiftCap® design was inspired by the needs of our swimmers, for whom the handling of the traditional cover
was very demanding and the investment in automatic cover lifter was above their budget. LiftCap® is a quality
solution for day-to-day swimming and vendor’s experience is the guarantee in terms of functionality, quality,
insulating capabilities, resistance to swim spas chemicals, weather conditions and low cost of ownership.
Our goal is to provide you with the carefree bathing and the joy of a simple solution that your swim spa really
deserves.

Important notice
- The LiftCap® is not a winter cover for an empty/winterized swim spa (it cannotbe exposed to a
heavy snow loads or ice, they could damage both, the LiftCap® and the swim spa).
- Remove snow from the thermal cover with the broom, do not use the snow shovel, to prevent
accumulation of snow and ice on the cover.
- Never step on the closed cover and do not allow children or pets to do so!
- Do not lift, drag or pull the cover other than by handrails. If you pull the vinyl skirt it will damage
the seams. Handrails are installed on every piece of cover and they are fixed to the frame.
- Handle with care when you are removing it from the swim spa.
- Covers should be kept clean using a mild soap and water only.
- Do not drag the cover over rough surfaces. If there is a damage on the cover, it will absorb the
water, get heavy and the lifter will not work.
- Never let the cover partly opened/closed without adult supervision - risk of damage or drowning!
- Do not close the cover while someone in the swim spa - risk of drowning!
- Never let the system open in extreme weather; strong wind, heavy rain, snow or frost can damage
the cover.

How to open & close the cover
Hard cover and the lifter in the closed position sits on the swim spa lip. With overlapping vinyl skirt it insulates very
well and protects the spa from the debris and cold weather. The cover consists of three sections (picture 1).
First open the small panel on the right side (pic. 2). Then open the second small panel on the left side. This procedure
is importantbecause due to the heat lock the edges between small panels are beveled (pic.3).

Grab the longer handrail (pic. 4) on either side and open the whole cover with the help of gas shock pistons to
the first safety position (pic. 5). With both hands lift it to the second position, which is the final OPEN position
(pic. 6-8).
The final position is not perfectly vertical, but the cover is held by the gas pistons in the straight position on the
edge of the swim spa.
