Remove wall from carton.  

NOTE: the UP arrow on wall.

Determine starting point as the
filter inlet and outlet holes are at
the beginning of the wall.  Starting
at the center of a bottom plate
insert the bottom edge of wall
into the groove on the bottom
rail.  Make sure that the cutouts for
filter inlet and outlet are on the top
portion of the wall and will not be hidden behind a
vertical.  If the wall ends do not meet, adjust the bottom
rails in or out of the bottom plates.  The  spacing in all bottom plates should be equal.  Make sure that
the starting position of the wall and skimmer inlet and outlet holes are on the same end of the pool.

INSERT WALL INTO BOTTOM RAILS

SKIMMER INLET

4’ x 4’ Plywood

Insert the 1/4" - 20x3/4" truss head

screws  from inside the pool through the
preattached inside closure bar, through
inside and outside wall ends, and through
outside closure bar.  
The 1/4" serrated flange nuts are secured to the screws
on the outside of the wall.  
All the holes must match and be secured together with the screws and nuts provided.

Tighten each screw and nut to 85 inch pounds of torque.  If no torque wrench is available,

tighten each nut until snug.  Then tighten each nut one (1/2) half additional turn. If nut appears to be lose
after tightening, please check if the screw is stripped or broken. It must be replaced.
Overtightening the nuts could cause the screws to fracture which could result in pool failure.  Failure to
tighten the nuts sufficiently could also result in pool failure.

This is one of the most important structural assembly aspects you will perform.  Be absolutely sure

you have one closure bar inside of pool (in between liner and pool wall) and one outside (exposed on
outer pool wall).

Manufacturer can not assume the responsibility of the performance of this product 
if the instructions of closing the wall are not followed exactly.
