SAFETY ADVICE
• We cannot recommend that parents learn lifesaving techniques strongly enough.
•
Memorise the emergency service phone numbers and display them near the pool:
European emergency number 112
Fire & Rescue 18
Ambulance 15
• A child can drown in less than three minutes. No protecon of any kind can replace the oversight
and vigilance of a responsible adult, which remains the essenal factor in the protecon of young
children. This cover is not a substute for common sense or personal liability.
• The cover must be systemacally in place at mes when there is no monitoring, however short
they may be.
• The person in charge of operang the cover must make sure there is nobody and no objects
in the pool and always keep the pool in full view during opening or closure operaons. It is essenal
to fully open or close the cover, without ever leaving it in an intermediate posion.
• Prevent from climbing onto, walking on or jumping on a safety cover.
• Always check that the pool water level remains constant and compliant with the use height
(2/3 from the top of the skimmers) as recommended by the manufacturer.
• If the cover is altered or if a malfuncon prevents the pool from being covered and secured, take
all necessary steps to prevent young children from accessing the pool unl the cover has been
repaired.
Be aware that safety is only assured with a closed, locked cover which is
correctly installed in compliance with the manufacturer's instrucons.
WARNING
Swimming pools can be a serious danger for your children. Drowning happens
very quickly. Near pools, children require permanent oversight and acve
vigilance, even if they can swim.
The physical presence of a responsible adult is
essenal when the swimming pool is uncovered.

rules given below:
1. Care
You should clean the cover at least twice per year (preferably before and aer the bathing season),

aggressive or foaming products, solvents and abrasive sponges.
2. Maintenance
The cover and xing elements should be inspected at least twice per year (for example when the cover
is cleaned).
Addional checks are required if the safety funcon of the cover has been used, or aer a period in
which it may have been subjected to extreme condions (storms, heavy snow, etc.).
Following these various checks, it is essenal to change all damaged parts and not hesitate to immedi-
ately replace any component that has any defects or signs of wear. When in doubt, contact your pool
professional.
All spare parts must be manufactured by ALBIGÈS in order to maintain the original cover specicaons.

IMPORTANT

User manual: SKIN Wood® & SKIN Wood Light®safety covers
3.1. It is imperave to maintain the pool water level at its use height (2/3 over the skimmers), make
sure the water does not overow and pass behind the liner (use of an overow) and make sure
that embedded parts and piping do not freeze (use of gizzmos, suitable caps and a line of winter-
isaon oaters).
3.2. Maintaining the water level allows the cover to be supported by the water in the event of heavy
precipitaon. In excess of 10 cm of snow, the snow must be cleared from the cover. Similarly,
remove all impuries that could obstruct the drainage mesh or holes depending on the model.
Failing to maintain the water level will void the warranty on SKIN Wood®&
SKIN Wood Light®covers.
