Installation Instructions

 

HOW TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

 
Be sure to read these instructions completely before 
beginning the installation of your pool. ATTENTION: 
Always use these assembly instructions to install 
your swimming pool. Ignore any English instructions 
included with the pool, as the size will be in inches, etc. 
ATTENTION: Check the pool parts with the English 
parts lists.

These are installation instructions for the installation of 
several sizes of round pools. Use the pool parts list and 
extensive illustrations to identify your pool parts; then 
read these instructions and follow the steps that pertain 
to your pool assembly.

Doughboy cannot be held liable for damage caused by 
careless or improper installation. Your warranty is void 
if the pool assembly and installation instructions are 
not followed exactly, or if the pool design is altered in 
any way.

Contracted Installation

Doughboy is not affiliated with any professional pool 
installers and cannot assume any responsibility for 
installation mistakes made by the homeowner. If 
the pool is installed by others, please supervise the 
installation and make sure that the correct installation 
method is applied.

Change of pool design

Doughboy expressly reserves the right to change or 
modify the design and instruction during the course of 
our manufacturing procedures, without incurring any 
obligation or liability to reapply such modifications on 
products previously or currently sold.

CAUTIONS

1.   Do not attempt to install pool wall on windy days. 

An unsupported pool wall can easily blow down and 
may thus cause personal injury.

2.   When assembling your pool, keep the parts not 

currently used in an area out of the way. Unpacked 
parts are easily tripped over and may be damaged 
or cause personal injury.

3.   Do not attempt to lift the heavy boxes by yourself. To 

reduce the possibility of personal injury, have some-
one help you move heavy boxes (pool wall, liner, etc.).

 

WARNING

1.   Your pool must be level within 2-3 cm all around. 

An unlevel pool may cause excessive stress on 
the pool frame. A pool which is not level may 
cause a lot of pressure on the frame. This may 
result in pool failure which could cause serious 
personal injury.

2.   Your pool must be on undisturbed soil, preferably 

filtered sand. Filled up sand, sudden slopes within 
15 cm or the water runoff may cause a cave in of 
the subsoil. This could cause pool failure and may 
cause personal injury.

3.   Always install the Warning Sign. The decal is 

designed to warn you, your friends and loved ones 
that your pool is to be used for swimming and wad-
ing only. Do not allow any form of horseplay in or 
around the pool. Failure to follow this warning can 
lead to severe personal injury. Read the “Safety 
First” booklet (in English).

4.   Use stabilised sand as a pool cove. Common sand 

can easily erode and allow the pool liner to rupture 
which may cause pool failure or personal injury.

5.   Secure your pool when not in use. Ladders and 

gates should be secured to reduce the possibility 
of unauthorised entry and possible serious 
accidents.

6.   Always repair liner leaks. Continued leakage 

between the pool wall and liner can cause wall 
damage to the wall which eventually may result 
in pool wall failure. This could result in personal 
injury.

7.   To reduce the risk of possible electrical shock, 

never install your pool under overhead wires.

8.   Do not alter your pool as this may cause pool fail-

ure. Your warranty is void if the pool is altered.

9.   Do not install a diving board, pool slide or any 

other recreational accessories for use during div-
ing, sliding or jumping into your pool.

10.  ATTENTION: Do not install the pool liner at tem-

peratures under 16ºC. At lower temperatures the 
liner’s elasticity is too limited for proper installation.
