10. Toys, chairs, tables or similar objects that a young child could climb shall be at least four feet (4’) [121.92 cm]
from the pool. The pump filter system shall be positioned so as to prevent it being used as a means of access
to the pool by young children. Do not leave toys inside pool when finished using, since toys and similar items
might attract a child to the pool.
11. Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following should be on hand at all times:
* A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherds crook) not less than twelve feet (12’) [365.76 cm] long.
* A minimum one-fourth inch (1/4”) [6.35 mm] diameter rope as long as one and one half (1-1/2) times the
maximum width of the pool or fifty feet (50’) [15.24 meters], whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a
Coast Guard-approved ring buoy having an outside diameter of approximately fifteen inches (15”) [38.1 cm], or
similarly approved flotation device.
12.
Entrapment Avoidance:
There shall be no protrusions or other obstruction in the swimming area, which may
cause entrapment or entanglement of the user. If a suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool.
Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration, or drowning. Repair or
replace the suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be used.
13. The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated
deterioration can lead to failure of the pool structure that might release large quantities of water that could cause
bodily harm and property damage.
14. Above ground / onground residential swimming pools are for swimming and wading only. No diving boards,
slides or other equipment are to be added to an above ground / onground pool that in any way indicates that an
above ground / onground pool may be used or intended for diving or sliding purposes.
15. Never allow horseplay, diving or jumping into or around the pool. Serious injury, paralysis or death, could result
when this rule is disregarded. DO NOT ALLOW anyone to swim alone without supervision.
16. Safety signs shall comply with requirements of ANSI-Z535 and to use signal wording.
17. The pool is to be assembled by an adult; care should be taken in the unpacking and assembly of the pool, this
pool may contain accessible potentially hazardous sharp edges or sharp points that are a necessary part of the
function of the pool.
18. Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In the event of an emergency, immediate use of CPR
can make a lifesaving difference.
19. Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
20. Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
21. Remove pool ladders before leaving the pool. Children as young as 2 years have climbed up ladders and into
pools and drowned.
A. Select a level area, and completely remove all debris, twigs, stones, etc. DO NOT select an area under overhead
electrical lines, trees or within 15 feet of a house, building, etc. The area should also be at least 10 feet away, and no
more than 21 feet away, from a 110 volt AC outlet, protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
B. Contact your local utilities, checking that no underground cables, telephone lines, gas lines, etc. run beneath the
area you have selected.
A. Carefully unfold the Frame Pool and inspect seams for manufacturing
defects. Lay the pool out flat on the ground, positioning the power filter
mounting area of the pool wall so that it is 10 to 21 feet from the electrical
outlet you plan to use for the pool pump. You should have at least three
people to assist with the assembly of this pool.
B. Locate the metal pipe and Tee Fittings for the frame section of the pool. The shorter
pipe sections with the larger diameter and the pair of holes at both ends are the Horizontal Beams (91). The longer
pipe sections with the smaller diameter and the Spring Pin (95) at
one end are the Vertical Legs (94). Take the Horizontal Beams (91)
and insert them into the pockets stitched along the top edge of
the pool wall. Rotate it in the pocket so that the holes are on the
top and bottom of the pipe protruding from each end of the pockets.
Take one end of the pipe and insert it into a Tee Fitting aligning the
holes with the holes in the Horizontal Beam. Do NOT install any of
the Pins (93) at this time. Continue around the pool in either direction
installing all of the Tee Fittings onto the Horizontal Beams. See Fig 1.

WARNING -
VERY IMPORTANT! SITE MUST BE LEVEL, STABLE, COMPACTED SOIL.
• The pool must be assembled on a smooth and level site of firm soil that is free of stones, gravel, sticks, blacktop
or other oil base compounds. Do not install pool on a wooden deck or any type of wooden surface. You can not
use sand and/or uncompacted soil to provide a level surface for this pool; it will only wash out.
•
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL CAUSE POOL TO COLLAPSE AND WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY!
WARNING:
DO NOT
overfill the pool and / or allow people to lay over or sit on pool wall doing so can cause
permanent injury.
DRAIN
pool to the proper level after a heavy rain.
TIP:
It will be much easier to install your pool if you unfold it and let it lay in direct sunlight for about 2 hours prior to
installation. This will help to insure a wrinkle-free fit because the pool material will be more pliable allowing it to
form into shape during installation.
