9. INSTALL LINER
Choose a warm, sunny day (at least 65°F) to install your liner. The liner is manufactured from a high grade flexible
vinyl material. This material is designed to stretch into shape during installation; therefore, it must be warm enough
to allow for the proper amount of stretch when installed in the pool. To insure a wrinkle-free form fit, Install your liner
on a warm sunny day when the temperature is at least 65°F.
a. Carefully open the liner carton. Do not use a knife or sharp instrument to open the box. As you install the liner, inspect
surface for possible punctures.
b. There are two NO DIVING warning decals packaged inside your liner carton. Set them aside in a safe place until your pool
has been filled with water. See STEP 14 for installation of NO DIVING decals.
c. You should have the help of at least four people. Unfold the liner so it resembles a roll of carpet. Lift the liner over the pool
and begin unfolding. Seam side of liner should face the ground.
d. Keep liner away from the cove area of the pool. As you unfold the liner, locate the side seam and position it parallel to the
corrugations in the pool wall (FIG. 30). All other seams should form straight lines across the pool. Be sure seam is away
from skimmer knockouts. Pull liner sides over the top of the pool wall and down the outside. Hold in place with spring-type
clothespins.
e. Adjust the overhang of the liner so it measures the same all the way around the pool. Allow about eight feet of liner to touch
the ground in the center of the pool area (FIG. 31).
f. Start adding water; gently pull liner bottom toward side walls as the weight of the water pushes the liner into place.
