5) Install the covers for the drive and idler stands
Install the drive stand cover. Make sure the motor harness is routed through the slot in the side of the
cover. If the idler stand cover was removed, reinstall it at this time.
6) Attach the solar blanket
Attach solar blanket onto the cross tube in the manner prescribed by the blanket/ blanket strap
manufacturer. Consult your solar blanket retailer for details.
The blanket can wind onto the cross tube either direction.
7) Install tether kit
The tether kit attaches to the leading edge of the solar cover, opposite the end that wraps onto the cross
tube. The tether is used to guide the cover during extension and retraction.
1.
Carefully wrap the edge of the cover around the tube (after joining the two 5 ft. pieces). Ensure
the wrap is even and square to the leading edge and center of the cover.
2.
Install the supplied (5) clips as shown in the following diagram. Bolt through the cover material, a
hole will need to be made through the blanket. Install clamps evenly, approximately one every
two feet.
3.
Snap the guide rope harness to the clamps as shown.
