Step By Step Instructions
Installing
t
he Lid Brackets
Space the brackets evenly across the back of
the cover box. The brackets should be at
least 10 inches from the cover track. Hold
the bracket against the back wall of the
housing so it is flush with the top of the
deck. Use a ¼” masonry bit and drill into the
back of the cover box, at least 3 inches deep.
Insert plastic anchors in each of the holes
that were drilled. Tap the anchors (
29
) with a
hammer so they are in the hole
completely.
Secure the brackets to the back wall of the
housing using #12 x 1-1/2" hex head screws
(3
0
). Mount a rope loop (
27
) on one screw of
each of the brackets. This will keep the rope
running straight along the back of the
housing.
Assembling
t
he Aluminum Lid
Assemble the lid by sliding the hinge onto the
main section of lid.
Slide the motor and non
-
motor lid ends onto
the hinge.
Position the lid over the top of the housing.
The motor end and non-motor ends should
extend past the cover housing 1-2”. If they
extend more and do not lay flat on the deck, it
may be necessary to cut the lids. Mark the lid
with a square at the 1” overlap point and cut
it to length with a hacksaw or power saw with
carbide tipped blade.
Measure across the hinge to evenly space
the screws. Continue drilling and anchoring
the hinge in this manner until the entire lid
is attached to the deck. The pool cover
installation is now complete.
