13. INSTALL TOP LEDGES

“NO DIVING” warning decals have been factory applied to four top ledges (Figure 40)Install one of these ledges at
the entry/exit of your pool. Install the second ledge directly across the pool from the entry/exit location (Figure 41).
Install remaining two top ledges with decals at 90° to entry/exit as shown in Figure 41.

12' OVALS;

a.

Identify straight side top ledges — 34-1/4" long. and curved end top ledges — 36-9/10" long. from Figures 3738 & 39.
Use tab slots as necessary for pool.

b.

Fasten each top ledge with four #10 x 1/2” screws (Figure 42).

15' AND 18' OVALS:

a.

Fasten short top ledges — 29" long. to straight sides of pool with four #10 x 1/2" sheet metal screws (Figure 42).

b.

Curved end top ledges — 52" long. are numbered on each end to correspond to the pool diameter (Figure 37). 15' ovals
use slots numbered 15; 18' ovals use slots numbered 18.

c.

Fasten each top ledge with four #10 x 1/2” screws  as shown in Figure 42.

14. INSTALL NO DIVING DECALS

When pool is filled with water to correct skimmer level, install the two NO DIVING warning decals which you set aside
in Step 9.

a.

Apply decals to the liner just above the maximum water level and just below the top ledge.

b.

Install one decal at the entry/exit location. Install second decal directly across the pool from the entry/exit location (Figure
41 and 43).

15. INSTALL NO DIVING SIGN

Your 9" x 11" NO DIVING sign must be posted in plain sight near your pool entry/exit location to remind pool users
of the importance of this safety information.

If you are not installing a fence or a deck on which to post your sign, you may attach it to the pool top ledge
(Figure 43). Drill 1/8" diameter holes in the outside of the top ledge (adjacent to the entry/exit location) and fasten
sign with the enclosed attachment wires.
