Steps for Installation 

Page 1. 

 
 

Step 1: Inventory 

 

Make sure that you have all of the parts needed,  by laying it all out and taking inventory. Be sure 
that you have the correct side unit. (left or right). This is determined by standing behind the vault 
looking towards the pool. Which side is the drive unit and rope reel going to mount on.  Do you have 
enough track for the length desired. 

 
 

Is there a parts bag containing the following: 
 
     One bag of 1 3/4” screws 
     One bag of plastic ribbed anchors 
     One bag of small drum screws 
     One bag with 1/2” leading edge bolts w/ washers and nylon lock nuts 
     Two track splice connectors or enough for all splices 
     Two end pulley assembly’s 
You should also have a leading edge bar and two poles. 
Last but not least, a bag containing the correct colored cover fabric.  
 
THE BAG DOES NOT INDICATE FABRIC COLOR so look inside. 
 
 
Step 2: Review Presite or Measurements 
 
 
You should review the presite sheet or dimensions given to Aquamatic Cover Systems for proper 
track placement. The two measurements that you are mainly interested in are the track to track di-
mension and the track length. Also there may be a note indicating where to place the track on the  
coping or deck. This is important for proper drive unit placement. 
The track to track measurement will tell you how far apart the tracks will be set. This measurement is 
taken from the recessed groove in the track to the other track groove. 
The track length is simply the overall length, from vault to end pulley’s.
