Aquamatic HYDRAMATIC Operational Manual page 23

Please refer to your home owner's instruction manual for a more detailed explanation on how to use and maintain
your Aquamatic System. *We recommend that only responsible adults operate the cover*.
COVER OPERATION:
Hold the key until the cover is within a few inches of the lid or bench enclosure. You can "bump" the key to bring the
cover in some more. *Do not drive the cover hard into the end stop position*.
To close, make sure the pool is free and clear of swimmers, animals or any other objects. Repeat above procedure.
TRACK MAINTENANCE: -
(particularly pine needles, dust, sand etc.).
LUBRICATION: -
ucts) Spray Silicone along aluminum tracks where black slider will travel. Lubricate between black slider and stainless
steel leading edge bar plate. The bolt that attaches these two parts together should remain slightly loose to allow the lead-
ing edge to slide laterally from side to side. Excessive wear on sliders will result if tracks are not clean and lubricated and
may result in an unnecessary service call!
WATER REMOVAL:-
through the built in screen mesh, if equipped with this option. Do not put unnecessary strain on the cover system, allow
time for water to drain through screen mesh. (1" water depth on a 20 x 40' pool cover weighs 2 tons). During the rainy
season, and/or winter months the cover pump should be left on at all times or if cover is left unattended for long
periods i.e. holidays etc.
CHEMICALS:- It is impor tant to maintain a pr oper chemical balance ideally pH 7.2 / Chlor ine 2-3 ppm. If you are
going to do a Shock treatment to your pool with a CHLORINE based product NEVER immediately cover your pool as
this will have severe adverse effects on the cover fabric, wait until you have maximum chlor ine level of 5ppm.
Pool water chemistry will seriously effect your cover fabric and is not covered under warranty.
