Using stakes and a rope, lay a rope grid across the pool as shown in figure 1. Rope must be tight enough to support the cover
while you install it.
Figure 1:
Step 3:
Stretch cover across pool, align to raised obstructions and/or cutouts and adjust for equal overlap on all sides. Overlap may vary 2" -
4" from approximate overlap given depending on cover size and shape. Please note overlap on commercial covers may vary 6" or more.
Step 4:
Locate anchor positions on Anchor Plan for straps numbered 1-4 (see figure 2). Measure and mark anchor positions on deck 20" from
edge of cover (22" for commercial covers). NOTE: Rectangle corners should be installed last.

RECTANGLE:
Step 7:
With first 8 anchors secured, snap a chalk line along
the perimeter of the pool using installed anchors
as a guide. Chalk line should be parallel to pool,
this will ensure that all anchors will be aligned.
Step 8:
Install remaining anchors working from the middle of
the pool out, pulling back each strap until cover edge
is aligned. Chalk line should indicate proper distance
for anchors, (approximately 20" standard or 22" for
Commercial covers)
Step 9:
When all anchors and springs are installed, conduct a
final check. Adjust all springs so that tension is equal
on all parts of the cover and the cover lies flat on deck
in a straight line on all sides.
WATER LEVEL: In snow areas, water level must be maintained high enough to support the cover and prevent excess wear. Emphasize to customers
that they must not allow the water level to fall below the above recommendations throughout the winter, or their warranty will be void.
FORMFIT:
Step 7:
With first 8 anchors secured, locate and install remaining
anchors in an alternating pattern, working from the middle
of the cover to the ends. Secure each spring as individual
anchors are installed.
Step 8:
When all anchors and springs are installed conduct a final
check. Adjust all springs so that tension is equal on all parts
of the cover and the cover lies flat on deck, with no bunches
or creases.
