Installation and Maintenance Guide

INSTALLING A SAFETY COVER
Step 1
Remove the safety cover from the box and carefully unfold. Be sure cover is right side up, protective
strips are on bottom. Drape cover over the pool, it is easier to leave the water at normal height,
as cover will float on water. Stretch cover evenly over pool as tightly as possible. Water bags or 5
gallon buckets placed on the straps can be used to secure cover in place. Adjust cover so that overlap
is equal on all sides.
Attach the springs to the straps, leaving about 4” of strap between the covers edge and the buckle, and
about 3” between the buckle and the spring. This will allow for adjustment.
Step 2
Find the center straps along the length and width. Using a piece of chalk , mark a point 3” beyond the
uncompressed spring, or about 18” from covers edge. Using this mark as a guide, snap a chalk line
along the whole length of the pool. This will ensure that the anchor’s will be parallel to pool.

Anchor Hole
Step 3
Using a hammer drill and a 3/4” drill bit, set the drill over the marked anchor holes. Keeping the drill
perpendicular to the deck surface, drill down 1 7/8” into deck. This allows the anchor to lie flush with
deck surface. Drilling dust should be removed from hole. Remove anchor screw from casing and spray
casing and tamp tool with silicon.
Insert tamping tool in casing and tamp anchor in place.
