Coverstar Atom - Installing Lid Brackets; Lid Assembly and Deck Attachment

Step By Step Instructions
Installing the Lid Brackets
Hold the bracket against the back wall of the
housing so it is flush with the top of the deck
and mark the hole positions. Use a ¼”
masonry bit and drill through the holes in the
bracket into the back of the housing. Be sure
to drill the holes at least 3” deep.
Remove the bracket and insert plastic anchors
in each of the holes. Tap the anchors with a
hammer so they are in the hole completely.
Secure the brackets to the back wall of the
housing using #12 x 1-1/2“ hex head sheet
metal screws. Mount a rope loop on one
top screw of each of the brackets. This will
keep the rope running straight along the
back of the housing.
Assembling the Aluminum Lid
Assemble the lid by sliding the hinge onto the
main section of lid.
Slide the plastic wedges (13) onto the main
lid on either side. Tap into place with a
rubber mallet.
Slide the motor and non-motor lid ends
onto the hinge.
Attaching the Lid to the Deck
Position the lid over the top of the housing.
The motor end and non-motor ends should
extend past the cover housing 1-2”. If they
extend more and do not lay flat on the deck, it
may be necessary to cut the lids. Drill through
the lid hinge along the back edge every 2’-3’
using a 1/4” drill bit. Then, drill through these
holes and into the concrete deck using a 1/4”
masonry bit. Clean concrete.
Insert plastic anchors (36) into the holes and
tap with a hammer so they are flush with
the deck. Fasten the lid to the deck with #12
pan head screws (30). File any sharp edges.
Measure across the hinge to evenly space
the screws. Continue drilling and anchoring
the hinge in this manner until the entire lid is
attached to the deck. If any part of the lid is
sticking up, it must be screwed down to the
deck. The safety pool cover installation is
now complete. Now instruct the home
owner using the home owners guide and
the checklist on the next page.
