CONGRATULATIONS! 
 
You have successfully installed your Top/Recessed Ez-Cover. 
You can now fine tune the system with a series of adjustments. Using the 7/16”in. wrench, you can 
tighten or loosen the drum and rope reel to the desired resistance in both.  
After having ran the system several  times, and the fabric seems to come back askew (crooked). You can 
make a small adjustment in the drum to help correct this. Make note of which side the fabric sticks out 
closest to the water, close the cover across the pool. Use the allen wrench and loosen up the two piece 
lock collars and slide the drum about 1/2” in the direction the cover was sticking out the farthest. 
Tighten up the collars. Operate the system several times to see if the problem was corrected. Repeat if 
more adjustment is needed.
