The two sections of track should be tight
together.
Laying out the Cover Tracks
Lay the cover tracks on the deck on both
sides of the pool. When positioning the
tracks, there needs to be at least 7” of
clearance from the top of the finished deck to
the bottom side of slides and hand rails for
the wheel assemblies and leading edge to
pass under without damaging the cover
system.
Extend the tracks 18” past the waterline at
the shallow end of the pool. Center the
pool shape between the pool track where
possible. Measure and mark the track
length on the deck. Use a chalk line to mark
the track location.
Splicing the Tracks Together
Before splicing the sections of track
together, file all track ends thoroughly,
rounding all edges and removing all burrs.
This step is extremely important. The cover
can be damaged very easily by metal burrs
and this damage is not covered by the
warranty.
At one end, use a rubber mallet to tap the
track sections together.

Cutting the Tracks to Length
With tracks extended at least 18” past the
waterline at the opposite end of the pool,
cut the tracks so they extend 18” past the
waterline at the mechanism end.

To determine if the cover system was ordered
correctly for the pool, the length of the roll-
up tube should be 3 inches shorter than the
track space.
For example, for a 20 ft track space, the
correct length of roll-up tube is 19 ft 9 in.
