Coverstar Atom - Housing Preparation and Initial Setup

Step By Step Instructions
Adjusting Mechanism Height
Measure from the bottom of the housing
to the top of the track. The top of the
mechanism should be installed so it is at the
same height as the top of the track. Because
the top of the mechanism is adjustable, use
the feet to position the roll-up tube as high as
possible in the cover box, but allowing
clearance so the cover won’t rub on the lid
brackets.

Connecting the Roll-up Tube
With the non-motor end turned upside
down, attach the cone for the non-motor end
to the roll-up tube using the 3/8” x 1-1/4”
bolts (48) and lock washers (42) provided.
With the motor end turned upside down,
attach the cone to the motor end of the
mechanism using the 3/8” x 1-1/4” bolts
(48) and lock washers (42) provided.
Tighten these bolts with a 9/16” wrench.
Cover Box Preparation
Use a garden hose to clean out the cover
box. During this process, make sure the
water is draining from the cover box. It is
critical that all cover boxes have adequate
drainage. Inadequate drainage may void the
mechanism warranty. If there is no drain or
inadequate drainage in the cover box,
contact your Coverstar Representative.
With the motor end positioned upside
down, install the mounting feet using the
bolts (41) provided.
Install the mounting feet on the non-motor
end using the bolts (41) provided. The top of
the pulley bracket on the non-motor end
should be flush with the top of the track.
With the mechanism and tube assembled and
set in place in the housing, check the roll-up
tube for level. This is crucial to proper opera-
tion of the cover. Position a level across the
housing. Measure from the roll-up tube to
the bottom of the level on both the motor
end and non-motor end of the mechanism.
Adjust height of the non-motor end feet if
needed to level the roll-up tube.
Position the mechanism in the housing so
that the roll-up tube is centered in the
housing and the first pulley is properly
aligned with the track.

Positioning the Mechanism Lower
the assembled mechanism with attached
roll-up tube into the cover box and place it
roughly in the position it will anchored.
Note: If the cover box isn’t square to the
pool, position the mechanism in the cover
box so it will be square to the cover track.
