Step By Step Instructions
Cut the track so it will extend from the
front edge of the coping at the far end of
the pool to 1” past the inside of the
housing if no encapsulation is being used.
When encapsulation is used, it will extend
one inch past the inside of the housing,
with the track extending one inch past the
end of the encapsulation.
Before splicing the sections of track
together, file all track ends thoroughly,
rounding all edges and removing all burrs.
This step is extremely important!
Tap the splice pins (39) into one end of the
track and slide the center splice (24) into
the center channel.
Lay the sections of track on the deck and tap
them together using a rubber mallet so the
center splice and splice pins interlock with
each section of track. It’s important that, the
splice is tight together so there is not a gap
from one track to the next. Slide pulley end
cap (15) into the end of the track at that is at
the opposite end of the pool from the
mechanism.
Using a 5/32” allen wrench, loosen the
screw on the top of the guide feed (16).
Insert the guide feed on the end of the
track that will extend into the housing.

Standard Under Track
Clamp the track with pulley to underside of
the coping flush with the coping face. (If water
is in the pool, place the hammer drill with a
1/4” masonry (carbide-tipped) bit into a large
bucket) Drill holes approx. 3” deep on a slight
angle toward the pool wall. Remove clamps
and track, then drive plastic anchors (33) into
each hole. Finally, fasten the track to the
underside of the coping with #12 screws (26).
Encapsulated Under Track (optional)
If encapsulation is being used, the track is
normally installed during the cover
installation.
(See cover installation section page

, step 9).

Holding the guide feed firmly, use a 6 inch
3/16” bit to drill through the hole in the track
feed and through the track. Remove the
guide feed. Do this for the track on both
sides of the pool.

To determine if the cover system was ordered
correctly for the pool, the length of the roll-up
tube should be 3 inches shorter than the track
space.
For example, for a 20 ft track space, the
correct length of roll-up tube is 19 ft 9 in.
