8. Attach Straps to Tubes:
Come in 6 inches from each tube end and attach a strap plate to the metal tube assembly.
Use the self drilling screws on the drill line to attach the plate. Look at the holes that were pre-drilled
at the factory and use the same drill line. There are 6 lines on each tube.
Take the remaining strap plates and connect them evenly along the length of the tube assembly.
Attach Straps to strap plate. (See Fig. D Above Right)
9. Attach Solar Blanket to Straps:
If reel is to be located at the end of the pool, attach cover to strap plate with plastic screw
as shown in Fig. E Below Left. If reel is to be located offset or at the center of the pool
then attach cover to strap plate forming a fold to act like a hinge and the plastic screw will
go through two layers of the solar blanket as shown in Fig. F Below Right.
Bubbles should face down.

7. Assembling The Tube Kit : (Cont.)
• Loosely assemble extruded tubes together. Slide excess width into adjoining tubes, dividing it up as equally as possible.
Note: You must have a minimum of 9” of overlap in each tube!
• Measure the width across the pool from plug surface to plug surface & adjust length of the tube assembly to fit the span.
• With tubes on flat surface, lock the tubes together by rotating each adjoining tube in the opposite direction. (See Figure C)
• Secure each tube with just 1 self drilling screw in each adjoining tube.
• Attach the tube assembly into the Crank and Tubing Plugs and check for fit. Assemble Tube assembly together with
Crank Handles and Tube Plugs by lining up hole in the end of each tube fitted into Crank Handle and secure with
metal Axle Bolt and nut provided.
• When all is OK, drill through holes in large outer tubes using pre-drilled holes as a template. Drill from each side with Drill Bit supplied.
• Fasten with 2 Bolts & Nuts at each join. Bolts are at right angles to each other.
