ASSEMBLY OF THE COVER APRON
1.
Preparation prior to assembly
Before proceeding with installation, check that are the necessary parts are present.
The cover apron is delivered in preassembled sections of 6 PVC slats or 4 PC slats. If the pool features steps,
the slat section to cover the steps are found on top.
The last slat (axle side) is equipped with straps to fasten it to the axle.
Check that the five U shaped pins used to attach the straps to the axle are present in the groove in the axle
(except for the Ø 250 mm axle, this axle should be equipped with metallic plates screwed into position).
Check that the beam is also equipped with U shaped pins (standard water level). These will be used to attach
the counterweight straps.
Place the box near the pool.
2.
Assembly of the slat apron
The slat sections are assembled by sliding one section onto the other on the surface of the water.
If the slats are different lengths, the slat sections will be numbered and the order of assembly must be respected.
The preassembled section labelled 1 is always the section closest to the cover axle. It is easily identified by the
slanted edges of the first slat.
CAUTION
Store the slats in the shade until they are being assembled. If the slats, and notably solar slats,
are exposed to sunlight without being in contact with the water, they will heat up and become
deformed.
Blocking the slats in position:
Once the slat apron is assembled, the tabs on the plugs will
prevent the slats from sliding laterally. On slats finished with
silicon, these tabs are replaced with stops inserted in the either
end that serve this same function.
The outer double hook of the slat is opposite the axle.
2.1.
Assembly of cover apron, slats finished with plugs
Start assembly at the notch in the male part of the slat, holding
the two slat sections at an angle of approximately 150° with
respect to each other (the slats may be bent while you slide
them together). Slide them together as far as they will go.
