5. Assembling the slats
Special care needs to be taken when handling the slats.
Shearing can cause irreparable damage to the caps.
This is why they must not be assembled by threading.
5.1 Placing the slats on the water
Fig. 24
5.1.1 Transfer the slats directly from the container to
the pool water avoiding all mechanical contacts.
Prevent the slats from rubbing against the ground.
5.1.2 Place the packets of slats directly onto the water,
curved side towards the sky and the double male
hook on the side opposite the roller. Place the
speci

side opposite the roller, and the slats for the stairs).
5.2 Assembling the slats

of the preceding slat and then by pushing the slats
up into a "V" shape towards the sky.
5.2.2 Make
