2. Advice for use
• Always check that the pool water level remains
constant and in compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations (-12 cm as a standard) before using
the cover in order to avoid jamming the blades in the
trench (against the beam or the separating wall), or to
avoid it rubbing against the pool rims, or to avoid the
blades being warped by excess or insuffi cient water
levels. Make sure that the overfl ow and the water level
regulator are operational so that the skimmers do not
suck in air if the water level is too low.
• Remove all floating objects that could hinder the
correct operation of the ABRIBLUE cover during its
closure, and lock the access to the pool using the
blocking straps.
• Do not forget to unlock the safety mechanisms before
opening the pool cover as failure to do so may damage
the pool cover.
• Always keep the pool in full view during the opening and
closure operations. It may be necessary to accompany
the cover manually during rolling or unrolling operations
in order to position correctly if there is a strong side
wind, a free form pool, or a pool with a specific
confi guration.
• It is imperative not to halt the cover in an intermediate
position, this can cause the risk of jamming a bather's
body at the level of the cover casing, if a bather uses
the pool. The person carrying out the manoeuvre must
make sure there are no bathers in the pool before
starting.
• Check that the hose or power supply cable of the pool
cleaner does not get tangled in the cover; this could jam
the operation of the roller and damage the PVC blades.
• Check that unrolling and rolling runs correctly on the
fi rst few metres (the blades roll effortlessly, there is not
jamming on the axis with the top "bulging" towards to
outside of the roll), if necessary, stop the manoeuvre
immediately in order to intervene on the cause of the
malfunction.
• The rotation speed of the axis is not constant because
of the rolling/unrolling of each new layer of blades
which unbalances the roller. Adapt the wheel rotation
speed on the manual model in order to avoid the harder
spots by handling the wheel with both hands.
• It is imperative during rolling or unrolling operations, not
to release the key until the end of run stops have been
reached (especially on the BANCS) in order to correctly
position the blades when rolling in is complete, or on
the water when unrolling is complete.
• On the model without end of runs, make sure not to roll-
in the blades too much in order to prevent them from
falling to the rear and breaking.
• Do not operate the cover more than 15 consecutive
minutes.
• It is prohibited to manoeuvre the cover if there is a load
on the duck board alley of an immersed cover, this
might cause the cover to scrape the beam.
• Prohibit an overload on the duck board alley for an
immersed cover due to the physical limits of the beam
and the fi xtures. The alley of duck boards is supported
by the pool edge and the beam, it is designed to
support a maximum load of 400 kg over its complete
length (duck board included) and 150 kg per linear
metre.
• Do not walk or jump on the covering of the BANC roller
in order to avoid warping it.
• It is essential, for safety reasons, to remove the key
from the control box or the wheel from the manual
command once the opening or closure are complete.
• Programme the fi ltering system to start as soon as
the "solar" blades are in sunlight. During very sunny
periods with the cover closed, the water temperature
can reach 30° or more and can damage the blades.
• It is strongly recommended not to empty the pool
without the authorisation of your installer.
• If the cover is fi tted with a WING System
®
, take care not
to operate the cover without having folded the WING
System
®
onto the cover. Operating the cover with the
WING System
®
deployed can cause major damage to
the cover and the pool.
• If the cover is fi tted with a SURF System (mobile roller),
make sure the roller is correctly positioned on the pool
before any automatic manoeuvre of the blades.
• In the case of an emergency operation, a person
walking on the cover will have his/her feet under the
water.
• Limit operating the cover when the temperature is
below 5°C and do not handle the cover below 0°C when
it is locked in ice. Avoid all shocks and mechanical
contacts on the blades when the temperature is below
0°C.
• When the installation is on a sheltered pool, make sure
the maximum air temperature is not above 40°C. Make
sure the surrounding air is ventilated in order to avoid all
distortions and deteriorations of the parts (PVC blades,
bench sides, duck boards...).
