FOR REGULAR SHAPED INGROUND POOLS
Attach the cut
cover to the roller with
the blue straps (See
Grommet detail). Ensure
the length of the strap
allows the cover to lay
at on pool, to prevent
wind from getting under
the cover.
To measure your straps
go from the top of the
assembled reel system
down to the water in
your pool and then add
two inches extra to
compensate for
evaporation.

Seams
1” Border
Cover
For odd shaped pools, pinch the cover and attach the strap as
shown. Attach the cut cover to the roller with the blue straps (see
Grommet detail) by folding the cover in a straight line as shown in
the diagrams. Ensure that the fold in the cover is straight.
Open the cover over the pool and set it into
position. Ensure that the seams on the cover
are parallel to the roller. (This may not be
possible with some types of covers).

When cutting the cover, allow a 1” wide

cover
Strap
Open the cover over the pool and
set it into position. Ensure that
the end of the cover (where it
attaches to the roller) is square to
the roller.
When cutting the cover, allow a
1” wide border around the pool
edge to compensate for shrink-
age.
If the cover has seams, then the
seams should be parallel to the
roller. (This may not be possible
with some types of covers.)
Position the blue strap on the
cover. Cross cut through the
strapping and the cover. Ensure
that the hole in the strapping is at
least 1” from the end of the strap
and that the hole in the cover is
at least 2” from the end of the
cover. If possible fold the edge of
the cover over so that you put the
Grommet through two layers of
cover.
This will ensure that the Grommet
ts securely onto both the cover
and the strap, and will help to
prevent tearing.

Wood
Insert the Female Grommet through your cut in the strapping and the
cover. Ensure that the material is completely pushed down on the shaft.
Insert the Male Grommet into Female Grommet. Once in place, hit with a
hammer until secure. (Caution - excessive force will break grommet).
