Cover Valet CV400 Regular Shock OLD – cvRS – WSL

As a retailer of hot tub spare parts and pool equipment, I supply genuine Cover Valet replacement components. This is the older specification regular shock for Cover Valet CV400 hot tub cover lifters with WSL designation.

Purpose and Function

This older-style regular shock controls cover movement speed during lifting and lowering operations, preventing sudden drops or rapid movement. The WSL designation identifies this as the previous generation shock used in earlier CV400 models before the newer design was introduced.

Compatible Model

Cover Valet CV400 (older models with WSL specification) – Verify your lifter uses the WSL shock type before ordering. Newer CV400 models use the updated shock design.

Key Benefits

Regular shocks provide: controlled cover movement preventing harsh motion, reduced stress on lifter components through damped operation, quieter performance, extended component life through reduced impact forces, and smooth cover handling throughout the lifting range.

Identifying Your Shock Type

Check your existing shock for WSL markings or measure dimensions to confirm compatibility. Older CV400 models require this WSL specification shock. Mixing old and new shock types may cause operational issues.

When Replacement Is Needed

Replace the regular shock when: loss of damping causes uncontrolled or jerky cover movement, visible fluid leakage from shock body, bent or damaged mounting points, cover moves too quickly or slowly indicating damping failure, unusual noise during operation, or physical damage to the shock assembly.

Installation Requirements

Install with correct orientation matching manufacturer specifications. Secure both mounting points using appropriate hardware and torque values. Verify smooth damping action through full range of motion before regular use. Test cover movement to ensure proper damping characteristics.

Maintenance Tips

Inspect the regular shock during cover lifter maintenance. Check for: proper damping action through full travel, fluid leakage indicating seal failure, secure mounting at both ends, physical damage, and smooth operation without binding. Replace shocks showing degraded damping performance or any signs of failure.

Genuine Cover Valet Component

Authentic Cover Valet shocks are manufactured with precise damping characteristics matched to specific CV400 model years. Quality construction provides consistent performance under repeated cycling and environmental exposure.
