Step #2
Attach the Covermate Vanish XL handle to the cover mounting bracket using the
supplied 1-1/4” button head socket bolt (see Fig. 1). Note: The handle will face towards
the middle of the spa when the cover mounting bracket is attached to the cover.
Step #5
Attach the Vanish XL base/pivot arm assembly, built in step 4, to the cover mounting
bracket, that is attached to the cover, using the supplied 2” button head socket bolts,
washers, plastic shim washers & locknuts and let the assembly hang freely (see Fig. 5).
Note: Make sure to use the supplied plastic washers as a spacer in between the pivot arms
and the Vanish XL cover mounting brackets (see Fig. 5). Do not overtighted the bolts, the
pivot arms need to rotate freely. TIP: for an easier installation, flip the back half of the
cover open to attach the Vanish XL base/pivot arm assembly to the cover mounting bracket.
Once both sides are attached, hold the Vanish XL bracket assembly and flip the back half
of the cover closed and proceed to Step #6.
Step #6
Swing the Vanish XL bracket assembly up until the front and rear pivot arms make
contact with each other (see Fig. 5). Note: make sure the screw hole noted in Fig. 6 is
just forward of the edge of the corner skirting panel of the spa. Attach the Vanish XL
bracket assembly to the spa cabinet using the supplied #10 x 1-1/2” mounting
screws. Note: Install the bracket mounting screws from just behind the front pivot arm
forward. Do not install the bracket mounting screws further back, otherwise the bracket
will warp causing the lifter to not work properly (see Fig. 6).
Step #7
To attach the shocks to the bracket assembly, partially open your vinyl cover and snap
the shocks onto the ball studs (see Fig. 6). Note: Make sure the black body of the shock is
pointing towards the middle of the spa.
Step #9
Attach the Vanish XL cover plate to the bracket assembly using the supplied #10 x 1”
philips pan head self-tapping screws. Next, thread the 3/8 x 3/4” hex cap bolt through
the hole in the cover plate that lines up with the rear pivot arm (see Fig. 7). Note: Do
not overtighten the hex cap bolt.
Step #8
Open the vinyl cover so it is in the fully open position. Using the supplied #10 x 1-1/2”
mounting screws, finish attaching the Vanish XL bracket assembly to the spa.

back edge of the cover and mark the bracket position (see Fig. 2). Note: When standing

cover. Next, using the supplied 3M glue adhesive, apply glue to the underside of the
cover mounting bracket (see Fig. 3). When applying 3M adhesive, make sure to apply it
to both the vertical and horizontal sides of the cover mounting bracket where they come into
contact with the cover.

and rear pivot arms using the supplied #8 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws (see Fig. 4).
