Cover Track
Because the height of the acrylic coping corners and trim strip
are slightly higher than the surrounding coping sections on each
side wall, ABS shim is included to provide a level surface for the
cover tracks.
Lay out the lengths of shim on top of the coping along each side
wall. e shim will need to be cut and placed on either side of
the acrylic trim strip. e shim can be scored with a sharp utility
knife and snapped. Fig. 75.

Lay out the sections of track on top of the shim along each
side wall. e opening in the tracks should be facing the inside
of the pool. Fig. 76.

Remove the snap in track inserts from each track section. Fig. 77.

Connect the tracks sections together using the splicing pins. Al-
though not required, a bonding splice is provided if local code
dictates its necessity. Fig. 78.
e two track sections MUST be joined together at the center
of the acrylic coping trim strip (installed between the two alu-
minum coping side sections). Adjust the tracks and shim under-
neath the tracks so that the distance between the inside edge of
the aluminum coping and track is 3/4" (19mm).
Install the pins between adjacent
tracks as shown
