Installing Your LOOP-LOC On-Ground
STEP 1
UNFOLD YOUR COVER
and place it
face up
in a large open area. (Green label will be showing)
ATTACH SPRINGS TO STRAPS.
Lace cover straps around the squared-off end of springs using the method
illustrated in
Figure 1
. You may have a combination of both long (7”) and short (5”) stainless steel springs. Attach
long springs to each long strap and short springs to all other straps (if applicable). If your pool does not have an
extended patio area on one side, only one size spring (and strap) is provided. Attach one spring to each strap in
these instances.
IMPORTANT:
For short straps (approximately 20” long), position buckle
all
the way
up to the cover. For long straps (approximately 8’ long), position
buckle
5 feet 10 inches
away from cover.
PROPERLY LAY COVER OVER POOL
.
NOTE: If your pool has an extended patio deck on one side, be sure
to position the long straps on your cover on the patio side of the pool.
(Otherwise, all straps will be equal in length).
Measure
to adjust for
equal cover overlap on all four sides and all 4 corners of pool.
Overlap is the portion of the cover that will lay on the deck, and will be approximately 10” to 11”.
ATTACH / INSTALL BRACKETS TO POOL
.
Attach / Install the 8 brackets at the 4 corners of the pool FIRST as pictured in Figure 2.
•
Pull back on Strap #1 towards the edge of the deck being certain strap is straight. This is the bracket location.
With a flat head screwdriver pry back the bracket’s ratchet release mechanism only far enough to open the
bracket to it’s maximum opening height. Install the bracket onto the deck apron bottom first, and rotate it as
shown in
Figure 3
. With the bracket sitting flush against the deck, close the bracket as far as possible (bracket
will ratchet down).
•
Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill through the deck apron using the pilot hole in the bracket as a guide. Install a
provided self-tapping stainless steel screw by hand, being careful not to over tighten, as this may cause the
bracket to crack.
•
Repeat this procedure for brackets located at points 2 through 8.
FOR ADJUSTABLE BRACKET ONLY, INSERT THE BLACK SPACER BLOCKS INTO THE BRACKETS
(DOES
NOT APPLY TO ONE PIECE METAL BRACKET.)
ONCE THE BRACKETS ARE FASTENED TO THE DECK.
Please Note: See
Figures
4, 5, and 6 for proper placement of the Spacer Blocks for Kayak On-Ground pools vs.
all other brands. All Brackets
MUST
be used with the Spacer Blocks or the LOOP-LOC warranty will be void.
