Remove the top cardboard
•
Carefully remove all the parts
•
Leaving just the roof

With just the roof in the crate

This is safer to ship

Hall of Shame! Here are some photos of what NOT to do
• Spa & floor not level • Legend cannot be installed
• The floor is sloping too much which will prevent the Legend from being installed • A level base is essential – no fall
• Scratches caused by legs installed incorrectly • Legs must be vertical
• Lack of access due to poor decking design • How would you remove the leg if required as the decking joist is too close
• No channel left for the driveshaft between the legs • Also the holes are not large enough to give the tech access to build
• Decking joists too close • This prevents the removal of the leg case
• Patio now prevents any form of maintenance or repair
• Too little access which prevents maintenance or repair
• Seal incorrect • The seal should not be over the display. • It should touch the acrylic in all places
• Poor seal installation • Why?
• Poor seal installation • Why ?
• Poor seal installation • Always place the join on a straight section
• Another happy tech!
