Safe Use of Your Solar Reel:
Solar Reel Systems are designed solely to remove solar covers and are not made to support people or
any other weight.
Solar covers must be completely removed before entry into the pool. Under no circumstances, should
one swim in a pool partially covered with the solar cover.
Care and Storage:
Check screws periodically and tighten, if necessary
. The solar reel may be stored outside
for the winter. It is not recommended to disassemble it for storage
In order to protect the warranty on your solar cover, it is essential to use a protective
cover when the it is rolled up on the reel. In the summer use a White Sheet with
UV inhibitors and in Winter, a Winter Jacket. If not provided, they can be purchased
from your pool retailer.

Place assembled reel across pool at determined location and mark holes for post cones. Attach cones by drilling 1/4“ (6.35 mm)
holes in top rail as marked on the cones.
Take Care to not drill into pool liner.
Cones MUST be level
for the system to lift off or swing.
When you start to roll up cover,
all straps must take hold of the cover at the same time
. Adjust strap length at strap plate
if necessary.
