2. Installation and assembly
2.1 Installation and layout of the slats
Fig. 1 et 2
-
-
Special care needs to be taken when handling the slats.
Shearing can cause irreparable damage to the caps. This is
why they must not be assembled by threading
-
-
Transfer the slats directly from the container to the pool
water avoiding all mechanical contacts.
-
-
Place the packets of slats directly onto the water, curved
side towards the sky and the double male hook on the side
opposite the roller.
-
-
Lay out the WING System® slat panels according to their
number. Place the "1" panel on the side opposite the roller
on the stairs, then position the rest in ascending order
moving towards the roller.
-
-
Place the specific groups of slats (the group fitted with
straps to hook to the shaft on the roller side, the group
fitted with the other anti-lifting mechanisms on the side
opposite the roller, and the slats for the stairs).

2.2 Assembling the cover and WING System® slats
Fig. 3 et 4
-
-
Assemble the slats by clipping them together by inserting
the double male hook into the female part of the preceding
slat and then by pushing the slats up into a "V" shape
towards the sky.
-
-
Make oscillating movements in order to cause click-fitting
along the whole length of the slat.

-
The clipping principle is the same for WING System® slats,
the only difference being that these slats do not have a
male part, but a female part on either side (see cross-section
view in §2.6).
-
-
These slats are connected together by a connecting strap
(see cross-section view in §2.6).
