Attaching the Ropes to the Reels
The cover must be open when cutting and
attaching the ropes.
Pull the cover back until
the cover is in the fully open position. 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 rope in the location it
will be cut. This will help them not fray after
they have been cut. Cut the ropes so they
are at least 8 feet long. Use the lighter to
burn the cut ends of the rope if needed.
Remember, the cover must be in the fully
open position when cutting the ropes.

While holding the ropes over the mechanism,
run the key switch in the cover position.
Reinstall the guide on the end of the track.
Secure the Positive Stop Plate to the top
track using the 1/2” x 3/4” screws (32)
provided. Drill and anchor through the
other holes of the positive stop plate into
the pool deck. Secure the stop plate to the
deck using the screws (29) and anchors (16)
provided.
Drill a hole using a 3/16” bit in the flat
section of the leading edge just behind the
rope channel. This is where a bonding lug
will be attached. Do this on both ends of the
leading edge tube.
Connect the bonding wire that is attached
to the front corner of the cover to the
leading edge tube by first securing a
bonding lug (24) to the bar, using the 10 -
32 x 1”
screw (21) and 10-32 nylock nut
provided (27). Then, insert and tighten the
bond wire in the bonding lug. Do this on
both sides of the leading edge tube.
