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 an 16
f
oo
t track space, the correct length of roll-
up tube is 15 ft 9 in.
Cut the length of the track on each side of
the pool so it will extend 1 inch past the
inside edge of the cover box at the
mechanism end.

Position the cover track along both sides of
the pool. The lengths, widths and diagonal
measurements must be equal to each other
for the automatic cover system to operate
properly. Mark where the center of the
track will be on the pool deck.

Splicing the Tracks Together
Before splicing the sections of track together,
file all track ends thoroughly, rounding all
edges and removing all burrs. This step
is extremely important. The cover can be
damaged very easily by metal burrs and this
damage is not covered by the warranty.
Tap the spring pin (46) into the round
splice channel. Slide the center splice (45)
into the center channel.
Join the track sections together by hand.
At one end, use a rubber mallet to tap the
track sections together.
The two sections of track should be tight
together.
Cutting the Tracks to Length
With tracks extended 1 inch into the cover
box at the mechanism end, cut the tracks
so they extend 18” past the waterline at
the opposite end of the pool.
