Step by Step Instructions
To determine if the cover system was
ordered correctly for the pool, the length of
the roll
-
up tube should be 3 inches shorter
than the track space.
For example, for a 20 ft track space, the
correct length of roll
-
up tube is 19 ft 9 in.
Cut the length of the track on each side of
the pool so it will extend 1 inch past the end
of the encapsulation into the cover box.
Before splicing the sections of track together,
file all track ends thoroughly, rounding all
edges and removing all burrs. Clean metal
shavings from the track. This step is
extremely important! If the track isn’t filed
smooth, damage can occur to the ropes,
slider and cover.
Tap the splice pins (3
3
) into one end of the
track and slide the center splice (2
1
) into
the center channel.
Lay the sections of track on the deck and tap
them together using a rubber mallet so the
center splice and splice pins interlock with
each section of track.
Using a 5/32” allen wrench, loosen the screw
on the top of the guide feed (1
3
). Insert the
guide feed on the end of the track that will
extend into the housing.

Continue tapping the end of the track until
the two sections of track are tight together
so there is not a gap from one track to the
next.
When encapsulation is being used, the
track is normally installed during the
cover installation. (
See cover installation
section page 1
1
, step 9).

While holding the guide feed firmly, use a
drill with a 3/16”
bit to drill through the
hole in the guide feed and through the
track. Remove the guide
feed. Do this for
the track on both sides of the pool.
