Step By Step Instructions
Numbers in parenthesis refer to hardware shown on page 3.
Installing
t
he Lid Brackets
Hold the bracket against the back wall of the
housing so it is flush with the top of the deck.
Use a ¼” masonry bit and drill through the
holes in the bracket into the back of the
housing. Be sure to drill the holes at least 3”
deep. Tip: Drill one hole and insert the
anchor. Level the bracket and insert a screw.
This will help hold the bracket while the
remaining holes are drilled.
Remove the bracket and insert plastic
anchors in each of the holes. Tap the
anchors (33) with a hammer so they are in
the hole completely.
Secure the brackets to the back wall of the
housing using #12 x 1-1/2“ hex head (34)
screws. Mount a rope loop (30) on one screw
of each of the brackets. This will keep the
rope running straight along the back of the
housing.
Assembling
t
he Aluminum Lid
The aluminum lid will come with each section
cut to length. Assemble the lid by sliding the
hinge onto the main section of lid.
Slide the motor and non-motor lid ends
onto the hinge.
Position the lid over the top of the housing.
The motor end and non-motor ends should
extend past the cover housing 1-2”. If they
extend more and do not lay flat on the deck, it
may be necessary to cut the lids. Mark the lid
with a square at the 1” overlap point and cut it
to length with a hacksaw or power saw with
carbide tipped blade.
Attaching
t
he Lid
t
o
t
he Deck
Drill through the lid hinge along the back edge
every 2-3 feet using a 1/4” drill bit. Then, drill
through these holes and into the concrete
deck using a 1/4” masonry bit. Remove
concrete dust from the holes.
Insert plastic anchors (33) into the holes
and tap with a hammer so they are flush
with the deck. Fasten the lid to the deck
with #12 pan head screws (26).
Measure across the hinge to evenly space the
screws. Continue drilling and anchoring the
hinge in this manner until the entire lid is
attached to the deck. The safety pool cover
installation is now complete. Now instruct
the home owner using the home owner
