Step By Step Instructions
Position the fabric on the leading edge
so it is in line with the leading edge
support bracket. Secure with a 10 x 1/2” tek
screw (
28
) on the back side of the leading
edge tube. Be sure the screw does not inter-
fere with the leading edge insert. Do this
for both sides of the cover.
Bring the ropes back to the mechanism.
Attach the ropes to the rope reel by
inserting the ropes through the center of the
lugs and tighten the set screws firmly into
the ropes. Some prefer to tie a knot at the
end of the rope.
While holding the ropes over the mechanism,
run the key switch in the cover position. As the
excess rope is wrapped around the rope reel,
make sure it goes on straight without getting
crossed with each other.
Running Out
t
he Cover
Run the cover over the pool. Assist the
cover as it is being pulled over the pool by
helping unfold it and feed it into the cover
track.

Connect the bonding wire that is attached to
the front corner of the cover to the leading
edge bar using a 10 x 1/2” tek screw (
28
). Be
sure the screw doesn’t interfere with the
leading edge insert from moving freely inside
the tube. Do this on both sides of the cover.

The cover must be open when cutting and
attaching the ropes. Pull the cover back until
the sliders are against the guide feeds. Pull
the ropes tight as they come off the pulleys
on the mechanism to eliminate the slack in
the rope.
While pulling both ropes tight, use a lighter
or torch to burn the rope in the location it
will be cut. This will help them not fray after
they have been cut. Cut the ropes so they
are at least 8 ft long. In some cases you may
only need to cut one rope. Use the lighter
to re
-
burn the cut ends of the rope if
needed.

Attaching
t
he Cover & Bonding Wire
Make sure the webbing continues straight as
it travels from the track to the roll-up tube.
Attach the cover to the roll-up tube using tek
screws (
28
). The first screw on each end of the
tube needs to be 3 inches from the end of the
tube. As the cover rolls up on the tube, the
webbing will be rolling up over the cone.
Lay the bond wire on top of the cover
fabric. Secure it to the roll
-
up tube using a
tek screw (
28
).
