Step By Step Instructions
Numbers in parenthesis refer to hardware shown on page 3.
Position the fabric on the leading edge so it is
in line with the leading edge support bracket.
Secure with a tek screw (32) on the back side
of the leading edge. Be sure the screw does
not interfere with the leading edge insert.
Attaching the Ropes to the Reels
Pull the cover back until the sliders are against
the stops. 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 ends of the rope. Cut the
ropes so they are the same length. These
ropes should be at least 8 feet long. Use a
lighter or torch to burn the ends of the rope
to keep the rope from fraying. In some cases
you will only need to cut one rope.

Place a guide feed over the end of the track,
place a bonding lug (25) on top of the guide
feed. Insert a 10-32 x 1-3/4” screw (42)
through the lug and guide feed.
Use a 5/32” allen wrench to tighten the screw
that connects the two sections of guide feed
together.
Connect the bonding wire that is attached to
the front corner of the cover to the leading
edge bar using a tek screw (32). Be sure the
screw doesn’t interfere with the leading edge
insert.

Run #8 copper bond wire (38) from the lug on
each guide feed to the lugs on each mechanism
end.

Encapsulation
When using encapsulation on the pool,
extend it one inch into the cover housing.
When cutting the cover track to length,
extend it one inch past the encapsulation.
22
Drill through the center of the encapsulation
and track. Insert a 10-32 x 1-3/4 screw (42)
and nylock nut (29). This step is very
important. This will prevent the track from
sliding into the cover housing during the
operation of the cover system. (If the
encapsulation was cut flush to the inside of
the housing, secure the track using a track
retainer bracket (23)).
