Opening
t
he Cover
To open the cover box, use scissors to cut
the bands that hold the two halves of the
box together. Never cut the top of the box
open. Doing this could easily damage the
cover inside. This kind of damage is not
covered under the fabric warranty. With the
bands cut, lift and remove the top box.
Standing behind the housing looking over
the pool, unroll the cover from left to right.
This will ensure the cover will be right side
up when it in unrolled.
Uncoil the ropes to remove twists and kinks.
Run the ropes through the tracks. There are
two methods that can be used.
Running Ropes

n
t
he Tracks
The preferred method of running the rope is
to allow a short length of the rope to extend
outside of the track. The portion of rope
outside the track will be pulled as the rope is
ran in the track.
Hold the rope outside the track and pull the
rope along the length of track toward the
end of the pool.
Feed the rope through the pulley (1

)
assembly. Insert the pulley with the rope
onto the end of the track.
Pull the rope down the back side of the track
toward the cover box.
Alternate Rope Feeding Method
Another common method of running rope in
the track is to pierce the rope with a small
piece of wire. This wire then becomes the
pulling handle as you feed the rope into the
end of the track. This is especially useful if
encapsulation isn’t being used and the tracks
are already installed.
Install Track in the Encapsulation
Beginning at the shallow end
,
insert the track
into the encap
su
lation. Lift the track so the
tongue and groove
will interlock.
Extend the
track 1” into the housing.
Insert and tap the spacer into place under-
neath the track on both sides and along the
entire length of the track. The spacer needs to
end at the inside edge of the cover box.
