From the inside of pool, use a Phillips
head screwdriver to pierce holes in
liner where skimmer mounting holes
have been removed.

Make sure all holes in gaskets are
clear.
To aid installation of skimmer,
gaskets, or return fitting, a thin coat
of clear silicone sealer may be used
on both sides of the gaskets. This
will hold gaskets in position and
provide additional sealing. From
inside of pool, insert two short slotted
screws in holes shown. Align one
skimmer gasket and skimmer body to
corresponding holes and tighten with
flat blade screwdriver.

CAUTION
Always keep face plate mounting
screws and return fitting tight. Failure
to do so could cause leakage. Refer
to CAUTIONS.
From inside of pool, install the
skimmer face plate and other gasket
by aligning to skimmer body. Secure
by lightly engaging all 15 #12 x 27/32
Phillips screws. Starting at the top,
work clockwise around the faceplate
and tighten. Go completely around at
least 3 times. Due to expansion and
contraction of wall and skimmer,
retighten all screws after 48 hours.
Occasionally recheck all screws and
retighten as needed.

a guide, remove liner from the
skimmer opening and vacuum port as
shown.
