2021/07 - Version: C - Code : 34681
The following are excluded from the scope of the guarantee covering duckboarding:
Damage resulting from the use of the automatic cover other than in accordance with the instructions set out in
the Installation and Operating manual and, notably:
‐
Use of the duckboarding as a diving platform;
‐
Use of the duckboarding as a walkway to enter or leave the pool;
‐
The application of a load greater than80 Kg/m² to the duckboarding assembly;
Damage caused by falling branches, tiles, etc;
Discolouration, staining, deformation, cracking of the slats constituting the wooden duckboarding modules that
may occur over time, wood being a living material, it is not always possible to predict its behaviour when it is
exposed to fluctuating temperature, humidity and sunlight;
Stains caused by the decomposition of organic matter or the corrosion of metallic objects left lying on the
duckboarding, or by applying any kind of additional covering to the duckboarding (paint, varnish, mat, liner, etc.).
3.4.
Guarantee on the storage bench housing of above-ground covers
(models that are equipped with above-ground storage benches)
The wooden or PVC housing of storage benches of above-ground covers equipped with said is covered by a
2 year guarantee concerning the structural integrity of the metallic structure as well as the PVC or wooden slats
over time, subject to the condition that the housing was installed in accordance with the technical
recommendations, and operated in accordance with the operating instructions, set out in this manual.
NOTA BENE
:
- The PVC or wooden slats comprising the housing serve a mainly decorative purpose, in that they hide the
mechanical components of the cover from the bathers’ view, and shelter the slat apron from sunlight.
- Colour variations observed between slats constituting the wooden housing are normal and natural.
- Dismantling, be it partial or total, of the PVC or wooden housing of a cover equipped with a translucent slat
apron will entail the cancellation of the guarantee covering the slat apron.
- The maximum load permitted for a cover housing comprised of PVC or wooden slats is 20 Kg/m². Hence, thick
blankets of snow that may accumulate on the bench should be removed.
The following are excluded from the scope of the guarantee covering above-ground cover storage
bench housing:
Damage resulting from the use of the Thermodeck or Igloo II automatic cover other than as described in the
manual and, notably:
‐
Use of the housing as a diving platform, seat or sunbathing location.
‐
The application of load heavier than 20 Kg/m².
Damage consecutive to unusual weather events (storms, hail, accumulation of snow, etc.).
Damage caused by falling branches, tiles, etc.
Discolouration, staining, deformation, cracking of the slats constituting the wooden housing that may occur over
time. Wood being a living material, it is not always possible to predict its behaviour when it is exposed to
fluctuating temperature, humidity and sunlight.
Stains caused by the decomposition of organic matter or the corrosion of metallic objects left lying on the
housing, or by applying any kind of additional covering to the housing (paint, varnish, mat, liner, etc.).
3.5.
Guarantee on the prefabricated separating pit wall
The elements comprising the prefabricated separating pit wall that may be installed on automatic covers with a
submerged cover pit are covered by a 5 year guarantee concerning their structural integrity over time subject to
the condition that they were installed in accordance with the technical recommendations, and operated in
accordance with the operating instructions, set out in this manual.
