8. FITTING THE FELT UNDERLAY
Important ! The ground underneath the underlay should be absolutely flat and free of any bumps or rough areas.
Because of the pressure exerted by the water, even the smallest bump will be visible underneath the liner. After
clearing the ground, spread a layer of sand mixed with cement (1 part cement to 7 parts sand) over the floor of the
pool and compact it. This layer should be no more than 1 cm deep. (The sand and cement are not supplied). Unfold
the underlay in the pool taking care to line it up correctly with the corners. Smooth out any wrinkles. The underlay will
be slightly smaller than the pool structure.

9. ASSEMBLY OF THE OCTO + POOL STRUCTURE
The pool structure is mounted in two stages:
• Stage 1, excavation of the site and installation of the cradles designed to reinforce the lateral walls. A cradle
comprises a cross beam, vertical posts and metallic plates to be bolted together.
• Stage 2, assembly of the wooden structure and fitting of the additional items (liner, coping, etc.).
We recommend that the pool structure be assembled by two people.
Before you begin, familiarise yourself with the nomenclature page (enclosed with the Accessories kit) and the main
exploded view (at the end of this document) that corresponds to your pool.

You will need to dig shallow trenches to hold the cradles. Make sure that these are parallel to each other
and to the A2 axle. The number of trenches required will depend on the pool model, refer to the illustrations
corresponding to your pool. Trenches should be regular and sized to hold the cradles in the right position.
Please note that 510 and 450 models feature only 1 cradle.
