ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT
12. Rotate each handwheel until the tab for the screw is at the top
position as shown in (SEE FIG. 5 - STEP 7). Align the keys in the
hand wheel collar with the corresponding key ways in the handle
and rotate them to make certain that the aluminum tube is making
contact with the back wall of each handle. Using the pre-drilled
holes in the hand wheel collar as a guide, drill a 13/64” hole thru
each side of the tube. Insert 1-1/4” long Phillips shoulder bolt thru
the nylon washer and into the drilled holes in the aluminum tube
and screw until tight. Repeat these instructions to install hand
wheel to main frame at other end.
ATTACHING THE COVER FOR
IN-GROUND POOLS
13. The reel system should be positioned at the end of the
pool, perpendicular to the center line of the pool
(SEE FIG. 1). The cover should be on the pool and
properly trimmed.
14. Starting at a point approximately 3” from one edge of
the end of the cover to which the reel will be connected,
attach a plastic cover clip (SEE FIG. 2) to the cover. The
sharp pointed post on the clip will pierce the cover (or
use a knife or other sharp tool for ease of installation).
Continue across the edge of the cover attaching the
remaining seven clips, evenly spaced. The last clip
should be positioned approximately 3” from the opposite
edge of the blanket (SEE FIG. 3).
15. Assembly of strap and buckle: With the ridged crossbar
of the buckle facing up, slide the buckle onto the
strap from the end opposite the Velcro end. Move the
buckle at least 24” up from the end of the strap (SEE
FIG. 4). Feed the end of the strap through the slot on
the plastic clip then thread the strap end back through
the buckle as indicated by the dotted lines in the dia-
gram. Repeat the process at each clip position
(SEE FIG. 5).
16. Position the Velcro end of the strap as straight as possi-
ble over the tube of the reel system. Place a Velcro tab
on the tube at the Velcro strap end by removing the pro-
tective backing. The tube must be dry and clean where
the Velcro tab is being placed. (SEE FIG. 6) Attach the
Velcro end of the strap to the Velcro tab. Repeat this
process in a straight line along the tube for each of the
seven remaining straps. Using the buckles, adjust each
strap so that each has equal tension on the cover. This
is necessary for proper roll-up alignment.
The extra length should wrap around the tube to
facilitate pulling the blanket off the pool and on to
the tube. The Velcro tabs alone are not strong
enough to pull the blanket up off the pool.
