Step #13
For best results, attach the side tub lock assembly to the side of the aluminum trim on the Smartop and the side of the spa cabinet. Note.
The side tub lock assembly must be attached to the spa cabinet prior to being attached to the aluminum trim of the Smartop. To accomplish this,
position the side tub lock assembly in the desired location and swing the cable sideways to reveal the screw holes in the plate that attaches to
the spa cabinet. Note. Make sure you put downward pressure on the Smartop to compress the thermal seal while positioning your tub lock assemblies
to assure the Smartop is making a good seal with the acrylic. Also, make sure to pre -drill your screw holes to prevent potential damade to the Smartop
and the spa skirting. Attach the plate to the spa cabinet using the supplied #8 x 3/4" pliilips flat head screws (black). Note. Do not over -tighten
the screws when attaching to the spa cabinet. Next, attach the side tub lock assembly bracket to the desired position on the aluminum Smartop

seal control pad has been included with the Smartop. Close the Smartop and determine the position of the thermal seal pad. Open the
Smartop cover onto itself, dry thoroughly and remove the backing of the thermal seal pad and attach it to the underside of the Smartop in
the desired position (see Fig. 9).
