VACUSEAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Requires a 9” clearance at the rear of the spa for the cover to open (See g 3). This may
be lessened to 7” by installing the Mounng Bracket ush with the cabinet but this will
also posion the cover to sit 1 to 2 inches over the spa’s coping. (See g 2)
The height required above the spa (A) is the length of the short side of the cover + 3”.
The distance (C) the cover goes downward behind the spa is measured by (B) the length
of the long side of the cover minus (A). (See Fig 4)
If the furthest point of the spa (either the shell coping or the top rail) extends more
than 1 ¼” from the face of the cabinet where the mounng bracket is to be mounted
(see g 5) then you must install a wooden spacer behind the mounng bracket to keep
it within 1 ¼”
The Mounng Bracket requires a secure aachment to the cabinet. If the panel siding
of the spa is thin, make certain the screws aach to the spas interior frame. If you are
uncertain if the spa has a frame (wood or steel) posioned to meet the screws, then
remove cabinet panel to inspect and install a wood support (usually a short 2”x 4” stud)
behind panel secured to the spa frame.

First, measure 22” back from the furthest point at the rear of the spa shell cop-
ing and mark with a pencil (See Fig 7).
Measuring 1” or 2” less will posion cover further from spa (somemes
desired on Tri-Fold Designed Covers) and measuring 1 or 2” more will
reduce the amount of space required behind spa for clearance. See Fig 2
Then posion the Mounng Bracket at the pencil mark. Make certain to use the
bracket that posions the “Safety Stop” at the rear of the spa (See Fig 6). Hold
Mounng Bracket at this posion and pre-drill into two of the holes using the
9/64” drill bit. Then secure the Mounng Bracket by screwing in the Wood Screws
U with a #3 Phillips head bit (See Fig 7). Repeat this procedure so that you have a
minimum of 8 screws securing the mounng bracket to the cabinet, though more
is always beer. Pre-drilling holes is important to prevent spling of the cabinet
panel or interior frame.
NOTE: Make certain both Mounng Brackets are posioned evenly.
NOTE: Mounng Brackets are installed on each side and to the rear of the spa,
where the cover will be posioned when opened.
NOTE: On spas with STEEL FRAMES use a Metal Bit and then the enclosed screws will work ne!
IMPORTANT : If your spa has a trim
strip prevenng the Bracket from sing ush on the cabinet then use a wood
spacer, the thickness of the trim strip, behind bracket allowing it to sit ush.
