Position the fabric on the leading edge so it is
in line with the leading edge support bracket.
Secure with a tek screw on the back side of
the leading edge. Be sure the screw does not
interfere with the leading edge insert.
While holding the ropes over the mechanism,
run the key switch in the cover position. As
the excess rope is wrapped around the rope
reel, make sure it goes on straight without
getting crossed with each other. .
Running the Cover Over the Pool
Run the cover over the pool being careful to
prevent it from binding in the guide feeds by
lifting the cover and helping it into each track
the first time.

Bring the ropes back to the mechanism.
Attach the ropes to the rope reel by
inserting the ropes through the center of the
lugs and tighten the set screws firmly into
the ropes. Some prefer to tie a knot at the
end of the rope.
Lay the bond wire on top of the cover fabric.
Secure it to the roll-up tube using a tek
screw (40). Distribute the slack of the cover
evenly between each screw across the
length of the tube. Secure the cover to the
roll-up tube using tek screws every 2-3 ft.
When attaching the cover to the tube, do
not use folds or pleats.

Attaching the Cover & Bonding
Wire
Make sure the webbing continues straight as
it travels from the track to the roll-up tube.
Attach the cover to the roll-up tube using tek
screws (40). The first screw on each end of
the tube needs to be 3 inches from the end
of the tube. As the cover rolls up on the tube,
the webbing should roll up completely off.

Attaching the Ropes to the Reels
Pull the cover back until the cover is in the
tracks equally on both sides. Pull the ropes
tight as they come off the pulleys on the
mechanism to eliminate the slack in the rope.
Note: Cut the ropes only when the cover is
open completely.
Pull both ropes until the leading edge just
moves on each side, cut the longer rope to
the same length as the shorter rope while
tight. These ropes should be at least 8ft
long. Use a lighter or torch to burn the ends
of the rope. In most cases you will only need
to cut one rope.
Run the key switch in the uncover position
to roll the cover up on the roll-up tube.
Check the cover to be sure it rolls up evenly.
Run the cover 6-10 times to make sure it
opens and closes evenly. The cover fabric
installation is now complete.
