No Diving or Jumping.
Observe all Safety Rules.
Very important
: as you swing the diagonal down, make sure you
apply constant upward pressure
on the end of the diagonal brace
with the tabs to ensure they stay fully locked in position in the slots.
c. Fasten the bottom end of the diagonal brace to the diagonal
bracket (key 16) with two 2-1/4" (57 mm) bolts (key 26) and nuts (key
10).
Do not
overtighten the bolts. They only need to be snug enough
to ensure a secure fit (see diagram 42).
d. Repeat steps (a) to (c) for the other side of the pool.
e. Repeat steps (7) to (9) for the rest of the buttresses.
10.
Buttress Location Verification
a. Tie strings between stakes (D) and (E) and between (F) and (G).
These will be used as a reference to make sure the buttresses are
exactly lined up with each other. Stand at each corner of the pool
and check the alignment of the buttresses with the strings.
b. Jump to Section 2 and com-
plete steps 1(a) and (b). This
will allow you to install the
bottom buttress rails, ensuring
the correct distance between
the buttresses.
Important:
complete only steps 1(a) to (c)
for now, and then continue
with step 11 below; you will
complete the rest of Section 2
later.
11.
Fill in the Hold Down Plates
a. Standing on the hold down
plate, insert material into all
open voids on the outside
edges of the hold down plates
until they are full. These voids
are the open areas between
the ground and the top edges
of the hold down plate. This
will prevent any low spots
from forming around the hold
down plates when the pool is
filled with water.

Important:
After the ends of
the hold down
plate has been
filled with mate-
rial, place a sheet
of plastic (approxi-
mately 15" x 15") at
each end of the
hold down plate.
This will prevent
any additional
material from
flowing into the
ends of the hold
down plate that
may cause low
spots to form
around the plates.
