Step By Step Instructions
The two sections of track should be tight together.
Laying Out the Cover Track
Lay the cover tracks on the deck on both sides
of the pool. When positioning the
track
, there
needs to be at least 7” of clearance from the
top of the finished deck to the bottom side of
slides and hand rails for the wheel assemblies
and leading edge to pass under without
damaging the cover system.
Extend the track 18” past waterline. Center
the pool shape between the pool tracks
where possible. Measure and mark the
track length on the deck. Use a chalk line
to mark the track location.
Splicing the Tracks Together
Before splicing the sections of track
together, file all track ends thoroughly,
rounding all edges and removing all burrs.
This step is extremely important. The
cover can be damaged very easily by metal
burrs and this damage is not covered by
the warranty.
At one end, use a rubber mallet to tap
the track sections together.

Cutting the Track To Length
With track extended at least 18” past
the waterline at the opposite end of the
pool, cut the track so they extend 18”
past the waterline at the mechanism end.

To determine the correct track space for the
cover system, measure the length of the roll
up tube. The track space should be three
inches longer than the roll-up tube length.
(For example, the roll-up tube shown
above measures 19 ft 9 inches. The
correct track space is 20 ft.)
