10. ATTACH LINER TO POOL
a. As pool fills, watch for tension and wrinkles in the liner. Release the clothespins periodically to relieve tension and remove
wrinkles.
b. Continue filling pool to 16" depth and stop. Remove a few clothespins at a time and release tension in liner side material.
Replace the clothespins.
c. Snap the flexible ribbed coping over the liner (FIG. 32). Work around the entire pool a few feet at a time.
d. Install metal stabilizers over the coping as shown in FIG. 33. Gently tap each stabilizer into place with a rubber mallet or
a block of wood.
e. Center the short stabilizers between uprights on the straight side of the pool (Figure 33). Install the long stabilizer around
the curved ends of the pool (Figure 33). Overlap stabilizers along the curved end given in chart. (Figure 32).
BE SURE:
¨
Carefully measure the distance between the water level and top edge of the pool wall (at several points). These
measurements should not vary more than one inch. If they vary more than 1", your warranty will be void and the manufacturer
will not assume responsibility for any personal injury or pool damage.
11. FILL THE POOL
Continue to fill with water as you assemble the remaining parts of your pool. If you have purchased a thru-the-wall
skimmer, stop filling pool when water level is 20"-22" from the top; refer to instructions packed with skimmer for
assembly of thru-the-wall skimmer.
