DECEMBER 2, 2003 (Round Pool - 1" Rims)
a. Set coiled pool wall on a plywood inside the pool area
(FIG. 9). The perforated knockouts in the wall are for an
optional thru-the-wall skimmer. Whether a skimmer is
used or not, these knockouts MUST be positioned at the
TOP of the pool (FIG. 9 & 10).
IMPORTANT:
If you are using a thru-the-wall skimmer,
refer to your Skimmer Owner's Manual and remove the
knockout now. If not using a thru-the-wall skimmer do
not remove the knockout panel. Cover ALL perfora-
tions (inside the pool) with heavy cloth or duct tape.
b. The skimmer knockouts begin approximately 12" from
the beginning of the pool wall. Begin wall installation at
a foot plate 12" from where your filter will be located. As
wall is uncoiled, guide the bottom edge into the rim
groove until wall ends overlap and holes align. If ends
overlap too much, gently nudge rims toward outside of
pool. If ends do not meet, gently nudge rims toward
inside of pool. You may use a screw driver to spread
rims at wall joint
c. As you are joining the wall ends, attach the reinforcing
bars on the outer sides of the pool wall using the 5/8"
machine screws and hex nuts as shown in Fig. 11 -
insert screws from inside of pool. Nuts and washers
MUST be on outside (FIG. 11). To eliminate burrs on
screw heads, hold screws in place with a screwdriver
and then turn the nuts to tighten. Tighten the nuts to a
maximum torque of 70 inch pounds. File off any burrs
on screw heads and cover the inside wall joint with
heavy tape.

DO NOT USE PLIERS TO TIGHTEN WALL BOLTS. USE BOX END OR OPEN END
WRENCH TO TIGHTEN ALL BOLTS SECURELY. IMPROPER WALL ASSEMBLY MAY
CAUSE POOL TO COLLAPSE WHEN FILLED WITH WATER.

ALL SCREWS AND NUTS

BE USED
AND TIGHTENED SECURELY. IMPROPER

BEGIN 12" from where

IMPORTANT:
It is best to have several helpers stabilize
the pool wall during installation. If you are not able to get
any "extra hands" you may use "S" hooks, cord, and
stakes instead. Make sure you place some duct tape on
the "S" hooks to prevent them from scratching your pool
wall (Fig. 10).
BE SURE:
Tighten all nuts -
do not
omit any screws in wall joint.
Pool must be round. Measure the distance from the center
of the pool to the wall as instructed in STEP 3. If measure-
ments vary more than an inch, correct this "out-of-round"
condition either by bumping rims in or out.
Pool must be level. Check pool level at several locations
as shown in FIG. 13. If level varies 1" or more, dismantle
the pool wall and re-level the entire bottom framework.
