WARNING
1.
Do not operate filter when pool
is in use. Strong suction
around skimmer openings
could trap a pool user and
cause personal injury.
SKIMMER LOCATION
Make sure skimmer is located in
an area of the pool that allows:
1.
easy access for service and
maintenance.
2.
the skimmer to be down wind
of any prevailing winds.
HOW YOUR SKIMMER WORKS.
Your skimmer helps make your pool maintenance easier
and more convenient. Leaves, insects and floating debris
are removed from the pool surface by skimming action
and water flow through your filter. The debris is collected
in the skimmer strainer basket.

INSTALLATION
If your pool has two walls and you are
using only one skimmer and return
fitting, cover the extra openings in the
pool wall with the matching cover
plates. The cover plates must be
installed inside the pool wall before the
liner is installed. Tape them to the
inside of the pool wall with duct tape
being sure to completely cover all sharp
corners and edges.
CAUTION
STOP! Before continuing, your pool
liner must be installed with 24" of water
in your pool. (Refer to Lomart Pool
Installation and Assembly instructions.)
CAUTION
1.
Do not allow anyone to climb, sit
or stand on skimmer. They could
easily fall and injure themselves.
Install the filter and pump a
minimum of 4 feet from the pool
wall so they may not be used as
steps by children.
2.
Always keep face plate mounting
screws and return fitting tight.
Failure to do so could cause
leakage. Continued leakage may
cause wall damage and eventual
pool wall failure.
3.
If it is necessary to remove the
skimmer and return fitting knock-
outs, use caution. Sharp edges
may be present and could cause
personal injury.
4.
Do not place any form of chlorine
in skimmer basket. Damage to
skimmer, pump, or filter may
result.
