im p o r t a n t r e m i n D e r s :
•DO lock cover straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use.
•DO NOT drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps or the tie-down straps.
•DO NOT walk, stand, sit, or place heavy objects on the cover.
•DO NOT place any metal or heat transferring object on the cover or place any type of plastic tarp or drop cloth over the cover as
this may result in a melted foam core, which would not be covered under the warranty.
•DO NOT use any lifting mechanisms, chemicals or cleaners except those recommended by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation
or its Authorized Sales and Service Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Whenever the spa is not in use, it is essential that the cover be in place. When filled, this ensures effective
temperature maintenance and economical operation. When empty, this prevents potential damage to the surface finish of the
interior walls. In outdoor use, this can result from the excessive heat of the sun. This type of damage is specifically excluded from
warranty coverage.
