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.).
