Attach the uprights to the bottom joiner plates with two
metal screws, witch you will find them in the hardware
bag.
Uprights must be installed outside the flanged part of the
joiner plate and in the two notch of the wall track.
Before pulling the liner up against the wall, insert a va-
cuum cleaner hose down into the pump return hole to
approximately 15 cm (6") from the ground.
Maintain the hose in place with adhesive tape. Don't for-
get to block the skimmer hole with adhesive tape to pre-
vent air from leaking in.
Place the unfolded liner in the center of the pool area at
right angles with the skimmer hole. Make sure you wear
light, flat-soled shoes to walk on the sand as the slightest
heel mark could be visible once the pool is filled.
Carefully unfold the liner, bringing the bottom-sidewall
seam close to the wall base. Make sure that the side with
the protruding seams faces downward or that the pat-
terned side faces upward.
Lift up a section of the liner over the top of the wall lean-
ing a 10 cm to 15 cm (4" to 6") fringe outside the wall.
Secure the liner with a plastic coupler.
At this point, the liner may be too tight, making it difficult
to drape the overlap or, on the contrary, too loose. In such
cases, you will have to redistribute the tension in the liner
by removing some of the couplers and readjusting the
liner.

Hang the liner on the top of the wall and install the round
stabiliser to secure.
Start the vacuum cleaner to allow the liner to adhere to the
wall and check for excess tension at the bottom or for
wrinkles. Adjust the liner by removing couplers if needed,
to lift or lower it in order to ensure a perfect fit.
Fill the pool up to the base of the wall before stopping and
removing the vacuum cleaner.
PUMP RETURN FITTING
After you remove the vacuum cleaner, you may install the
return fitting. Place the return fitting ring against the liner
and adjust it so that it is perfectly aligned with the hole in
the wall. When the ring is properly positioned and
secured, cut the liner in the middle of the ring.
Insert the return fitting from the inside, placing the first
gasket between the return fitting and the liner and the sec-
ond between the wall and the liner. Then tighten the out-
side ring with large pliers, taking care not to crease the
liner.
BOTTOM DRAIN (optional)
Find the holes through the middle of the liner and screw
the ring and gasket in against the liner before cutting the
liner in the middle of the ring, then screw on the drain
cover.

You can now spread approximately 10 cm (4") of com-
pacting sand all around the inside base of the wall in order
to protect the liner from the cutting edges of the bottom
wall tracks and the stone dust (if applicable). Or install a
prefabricated cove, if available.
SAND BASE FINISHING
Level finishing sand one last time. Make sure that any
sharp stones, debris or roots have been removed from the
surface. For better protection, spray sand with water and
pack it once more until the base is nicely even.
