• Check that there are no bathers or foreign bodies in
the pool before acvang the cover.
• Keep the tools needed to acvate the covers out of the
reach of children.
• Only a responsible adult should undertake to
manoeuvre the Cover.
• It is prohibited to climb onto, walk on or jump on a
safety cover.
• Take all necessary measures to prevent access to the
pool by young children, unl the cover is repaired,
or when a malfuncon prevents the closure of the
cover to secure the pool, or if the pool equipment is
temporarily unavailable.
• Comply with the water levels defined by the
manufacturer.
1. Safety Advice
WARNING:
The pool can constute a serious danger to your children. Drowning
happens very quickly. Children close to a pool require constant
monitoring and acve supervision even if they can swim.
The physical presence of a responsible adult is indispensable when the
pool is open.
Learn the acons that save lives.
Memorise the emergency service phone numbers
and display them near the pool:
Fire Brigade: 112
Ambulance: 15
Poison Centre: Write down the No.: ..........
• This cover is not a substute for common sense or
personal liability. Its aim is not to be a substute for the
vigilance of parents and/or responsible adults, which
remains the essenal factor in the protecon of young
children.
• Be aware that safety is only assured with a closed,
locked cover which is correctly installed in compliance
with the manufacturer's instrucons.
• The cover must be systemacally unrolled and locked
during absences, however short, from the home.

2. Advice for use
• Always check that the pool water level remains
constant and in compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations (-12 cm as a standard) before
using the cover in order to avoid jamming the slats in
the trench (against the beam or the paron wall),
or to prevent them from rubbing against the pool
copings, or to avoid the slats being warped by excess or
insucient water levels. Make sure that the overow
and the water level regulator are operaonal so that
the skimmers do not suck in air if the water level is too
low.
• Remove all floating objects that could hinder the
correct operaon of the ABRIBLUE cover during its
closure, and lock the access to the pool using the
blocking straps.
• Do not forget to unlock the safety mechanisms before
opening the pool cover as failure to do so may damage
the pool cover.
• Always keep the pool in full view during the opening
and closing operations. It may be necessary to
accompany the cover manually during rolling or
unrolling operaons in order to posion it correctly if
there is a strong side wind, a free form pool, or a pool
with a specic conguraon.
• It is imperave not to halt the cover in an intermediate
posion, this can cause the risk of jamming a bather's
body at the level of the cover casing, if a bather uses
the pool. The person carrying out the acon must
make sure there are no bathers in the pool before
starng.
• Check that the hose or power supply cable of the pool
cleaner does not get tangled in the cover; this could
jam the operaon of the roller and damage the PVC
slats.
• Check that unrolling and rolling runs correctly over the
rst few metres (the slats roll eortlessly, there is no
jamming on the sha with the top "bulging" towards
the outside of the roll), and if necessary, stop the
acon immediately in order to intervene on the cause
of the malfuncon.
• The rotaonal speed of the sha is not constant due to
the rolling/unrolling of each new layer of slats which
unbalances the roller. Adapt the wheel's rotaonal
speed on the manual model in order to avoid the
harder spots by handling the wheel with both hands.
• It is imperave during rolling or unrolling operaons,
not to release the control unl the limit switches have
been reached (especially on the BANCS) in order to
correctly posion the slats on the roller when rolling
in is complete, or on the water when unrolling is
complete.
• On the model without limit switches, make sure not
to roll-in the slats too much in order to prevent them
from falling to the rear and breaking.
• Do not operate the cover more than 15 consecuve
minutes.
• It is prohibited to manoeuvre the cover if there is a
load on the duckboard walkway of an submerged
cover, this might cause the cover to scrape the beam.
• Prohibit an overload on the duckboard walkway for
an submerged cover due to the physical limits of the
beam and the fixtures. The duckboard walkway is
supported by the pool edge and the beam, and is
designed to support a maximum load of 400 kg over its
complete length (duckboard included) and 150 kg per
linear metre.
• Do not walk or jump on the covering of the BANC roller
in order to avoid deforming it.
• It is essenal, for safety reasons, to remove the key
from the control box or the manual wheel, or to close
the Aero application once the opening or closure
acons are complete.
• Programme the ltering system to start as soon as the
"solar" slats are in sunlight. During very sunny periods
with the cover closed, the water temperature can
reach 30° or more and can damage the slats.
• It is strongly recommended not to empty the pool
without the authorisaon of your installer.
• If the cover is ed with a WING System®, take care not
to operate the cover without having folded the WING
System® onto the cover. Operang the cover with the
WING System® deployed can cause major damage to
the cover and the pool.
• If the cover is ed with a SURF System (mobile roller),
two people are required to move the roller. Make sure
the roller is correctly posioned on the pool before any
automac acon of the slats.
• In the case of an emergency operation, a person
walking on the cover will have his/her feet under the
water.
• Limit operating the slatted cover when the
temperature is below 5°C and do not handle the
cover below 0°C when it is locked in ice. Avoid all
impacts and mechanical contacts on the slats when
the temperature is below 0 °C.
• When the cover is installed on a sheltered pool, make
sure that the air temperature is no higher than 40 °C.
Make sure that the surrounding air is venlated in
order to avoid all distorons and deterioraons of the
parts (PVC slats, bench panels, duckboards, etc.).

3. Upkeep advice
The maintenance of the ABRIBLUE automac cover
is at the expense and under the responsibility of the
user.
• The use of an automac cover maintains the quality
of the water and reduces the amounts of treatment
products needed.
• Maintain a good water balance in order to avoid
damaging your automac cover.
Water
characteriscs
Minimum
recommended
value
Maximum
recommended
value
pH 7.2 7.6
Chlorine 0.7 ppm 1.2 ppm
Bromine 1.5 ppm 2.5 ppm
TAC 80 ppm 120 ppm
TH 100 ppm 300 ppm
Stabiliser 10 ppm 40 ppm
Temperature 1°C 30°C
• Prolonged or repeated overdoses of products are
damaging to the PVC slats. An acid pH below 7 can
corrode metal parts. A lack of treatment causes the
proliferation of algae and favours the putrefaction
process which can cause the irreparable appearance of
brown stains on the PVC slats.
• Check the operation of the electrolyser when the
pool is closed for long periods. This type of device
cannot be ed with a producon stop and can cause
irremediable damage to submerged mechanisms
(corrosion) in the event of a high concentraon of
stagnant chlorinated products in contact with the PVC
slats. To correct this situaon, occasionally air the pool
water by opening the cover taking care to guard the
access to the pool while it is open.
• During a superchlorinaon operaon, roll up the cover,
start the ltering system and prevent access to the
pool by children under 5 years old.
• Clean your cover at least twice a year using a high
pressure cleaner or a sponge using a descaling product
and/or a degreasing product (water line gel type). Do
not use a solvent or abrasive product as these may
damage the PVC slats. Do not spray water onto the
sha as this might damage the motor.
• During the summer period, clean the slat storage
pit once per month using a manual vacuum brush.
Regularly remove any debris from the cover.
• Check the correct operation of the water level
regulation (overflow not clogged, automatic filling
correctly set).
• Make sure that the area where the cover motor is
located is ed with a drain prevenng the motor from
being submerged at all mes (in case of ooding).
• Check that the slats are not subjected to temperature
dierences greater than 15° between the outside air
and the water in order to prevent them from warping
(case of a highly heated pool in a cold environment:
mountain for example).
• When using a cover installaon under a shelter, make
sure the shelter is aired and limit its temperature to 40
°C maximum and prevent the slats and bench panels
from overheang.
• Protect wood elements such as duckboards and bench
panels. Wood, whatever its origins, is subjected to
the aggression of the environment on a daily basis:
walking, bad weather, dampness or dry weather. It
therefore needs a minimum of maintenance. Prefer a
wood saturator. For it to be ecient we recommend
that you apply it using a brush unl saturaon in order
to stabilise it and avoid tannins from being rejected.
The coats must be applied when the previous coat is
sll damp, without any drying me between them
(2 or 3 coats depending on the porosity). Avoid wax
or silicone based products, they are very quickly
decomposed by UVs and washed away in bad weather.
Depending on climatic conditions, exotic woods
become silvery grey over me. Avoid varnishes, they
form unstable lms which are subject to aking. We
recommend the products Durieu DESKS OLJE D1
(menoned in the "Techniques PISCINES" review) for
the maintenance of exoc woods. If you have tannin
stains on your pool copings or protecve cover, we
recommend the applicaon of concentrated bleach
using a brush followed by copious rinsing.
• Do not cover the opaque slats with a hermetic
tarpaulin, this would risk creating a major heating
eect (greenhouse eect) which could cause the slats
to warp permanently.
• Check the good condion, ghtness and correct xture
of the safety loops.
• Check that the straps linking the slats to the sha are
always ghtly in place and evenly distributed.
• Check the ends of the slats, check that they are aligned
and that the caps and wings are not broken. A slat not
aligned with the rest of the cover could jam when the
cover is moving and cause major damage.

3 For the OPEN range, remove the cover or casing
or PVC cap on the motor side. Disconnect wires
1, 2, 3, and 4 of the motor cable in order to slide
it completely towards the sha and remove the
unlocking ring.
4 For the BANC, remove the top cover and unscrew
the butterfly screw from the housing inside the
BANC Solar. Disconnect wires 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the
motor cable in order to slide it completely towards
the sha and remove the unlocking ring.
5 For the IMM'Box and the DIVER with the motor
in a dry pit: remove the key between the sha and
the motor casing or remove the motor.
6 For the IMMAX, IMMEO, DIVER with axial motor:
in the motor connecon box located close to the
pool, disconnect the limit switch wires and the
power wires from the motor cable in order to slide
the motor cable completely towards the roller
sha. Remove the pin blocker to access and li the
unlocking pin.
7 Manually accompany the unrolling of the cover,
making sure that the motor cable does not jam.
8 Lock the safety mechanisms.
When commissioning the roller, a new adjustment
of the motor end of run stops will be needed.
4. Maintenance advice
In the event of a malfuncon or a repair prevenng
the closure and the securing of the pool, take all
necessary measures to prevent the access to the pool
of children under 5 years old.
• AS POOL only distributes its technical products via
a network of pool professionals which carries
out the installation and follow-up depending
on the specicies of the pool. AS POOL does not
communicate directly with pool owners.
• Have the automac cover serviced by a swimming
pool professional (we recommend your swimming
pool installer whose details are on the cover of this
manual), who will be able to contact our technical
assistance department. All spare parts must be original
spare parts in order to maintain our guarantee and the
cover’s compliance with the standard.
• Each me it is commissioned, the cover should be
inspected to identify deteriorations that may
compromise its correct operaon. A professional will
diagnose whether some slats need to be replaced.
• Check that the upkeep advice is applied and that the
user carries out his checks regularly. Otherwise go over
them item by item.
• Check that the coupling nuts are ghtened, that the
stop ring and all the screws are present on the axis.
• Check that the electric connections are tight and
operate correctly. Make sure there is no humidity or
oxidaon on the cover's electric contacts (terminals in
the box, box connecons, contacts of the key switch).
• Check the condition and the ageing of the locking
mechanisms and the bungee cords used to retain the
PVC slats. Check that the straps are ght on the axis.
• Check the correct operaon of the ltering system, the
overow and the water level regulator.
• Carry out several rolling and unrolling tests to make
sure the cover is operaonal and especially to check
that the end of run stops are correctly placed.
• When the system does not respond, your installer can
secure the pool by uncoupling the cover roller (except
for the ZITA model) and manually unrolling the cover
onto the pool before locking the safety mechanisms
on the pool cover. In this situaon the pool cannot be
used unl the cover is repaired.
• Handling the uncoupling of the roller mechanism
should be read thoroughly before operaon, with the
installaon instrucons.
1 Switch o the box.
2 Block the roller rotaon while keeping the slats
rolled around it.

5. Winterisaon advice
Winterisaon advice is described below, however, it is
the installer's responsibility to recommend a soluon
depending on the availability of the customer and the
geographical locaon of the swimming pool.
• Carry out active winterisation by operating the
circulaon of the water and ltering during the coldest
moments of the day (An an-freeze thermostat can
trigger ltering as soon as the air temperature falls
below 0°).
• Keep the water level normal, excess water will drain
from the overow.
• Clean the slats unrolled over the pool using a high-
pressure cleaner and then sweep the pool and the
storage trench. Treat the water with winterisation
products.
• Keep your cover unrolled over the body of water and,
if it is surrounded by a lot of vegetaon, t a neng,
permeable cover over it in order to avoid the decay
of leaves and other plant debris on the PVC slats. Do
not store the cover rolled with an accumulaon of
leaves or debris which would trigger an irremediable
decaying process causing encrusted stains to form
on the PVC slats. This physical phenomenon is not
covered by the guarantee for the slats.
• Protect the skimmers and piping exposed to freezing.
• Protect the motors from ooding.
• Cut the power supply to the electric box.
• Do not operate the cover or touch the slats when
they are ice bound. If there is a risk of the pool icing
over, have the submerged sha and the roller motor
removed.
• For models using solar power, the baeries can remain
in place if the solar panel is not covered and connues
its charging funcon. If the panel is covered and can
no longer charge using sunlight, the baeries must be
disconnected and stored in a dry place. When pung
back into service, let the baeries charge (a half day of
sunlight) before operang the cover.
