ADJUSTMENTS AND MINOR REPAIR
SERVICE: Some service, such as adjusting roll up and patching holes, is so easy you will want to do it yourself. Other
serviceis muchmorecomplexthan it first appears,andwewouldordinarilyrecommendthatanownerleaverepairsto
your local authorized serviceman or organization. We advise you to communicate by phone (--) with the
manufaturer for advice before you undertake any serious service project on your own.
WARNING!Always turn off the power/circuit breaker to the cover before servicing.
WARNING! Never adjust the cover or try to perform any other maintenance while the cover is running.
WARNING! Keep hands, clothing, etc. away from mechanism while operating.
COVER RETRACTS UNEVENLY: Once your cover is installed it is unlikely that it will require any adjustment. However,
it is possible for extreme changes in the cover condition to cause the cover to begin to run unevenly. Our exclusive brake

PATENTED SELF-ADJUSTMENT FEATURE: (Check with your dealer prior to using the self-adjustment to be sure that this
featureisinstalled.)Your cover may be installed with a self-adjusting feature that, in most cases, will eliminate the need for
brake adjustment to your cover. In addition, this feature prevents your cover from retracting past the end of the track.To
use this feature: If your cover is opening unevenly, retract the cover until the front leading edge bar is approximately one
foot from the pool cover housing. Stop the cover by releasing the key or touch pad. Once the cover has stopped, run the
coverinthe“uncover”positionagainuntilthecoverstraightens.Assoonasthecoverisstraight,releasethekeyortouchpad

WATER LEVEL: The ability of your cover to support any weight is completely dependent upon you maintaining the pool

PATCHING THE VINYL COVER: Holes in the cover should be patched as soon as they appear. You have been supplied
with a tube of vinyl glue and patch material. Small pin size holes can be patched by applying a dab of glue directly in the
hole. Large cuts or tears can be patched by cutting out a patch piece of material, thenapply glue to one side of the entire
patchandgluein the same pattern as the patchtothecover. Letthegluesetupslightlybeforeapplyingpatch.Ifpossible

TRACK CLEANING: The track your cover runs in will collect dirt and debris over a period of time. The build up of dirt and debris
can affect the operation and adjustment of your cover. If the channels in your cover track are not cleaned when necessary,
you will prematurely wear out the edging on your cover and the protective anodized coating on your track. To clean the track,
you should retract the cover, then squirt water under pressure into the track. The water will flush out debris if squirted the full
length of the track at close range. In most situations your track should be cleaned twice a season. For pools that are used year
round, or if you are in an area that is sandy or windy, cleaning should be more often. (If you have a salt or mineral sanitizing
system see the“mechanism cleaning section.”) Never use anything but water to clean the tracks or other extrusions.
MECHANISM CLEANING: Over time dried chemicals and dirt can build up on your mechanism. If these components are
not rinsed off the build up can become so excessive that damage can occur. If you have a salt chlorination or mineral type
sanitizing system you will need to check your mechanism several times during the season. We recommend rinsing the
components as soon as you see a noticeable residue. It is recommended the metal components of your pool cover be rinsed
off with fresh water only. The frequency will vary with the usage of the pool cover. When in doubt, it is better to rinse too
frequently, than not frequent enough. When rinsing the mechanism, turn off all electricity to the cover. Make sure you have
adequate drainage in your cover housing and avoid spraying water directly on the motor.
NOTE: Improper chemical balance can rapidly affect your system as well as the cover fabric. Check your water regularly to be
sure it is balanced properly. Please review the rest of this manual for proper water balance recommendations.

CHEMICALS AND YOUR COVER
The primary thing to remember regarding chemicals and your new cover is that you will almost certainly have to
change the quantity and/or frequency that you add chemicals to the water. Where it was previously necessary to
chlorinate your pool at a constant rate because chemicals dissipated at a constant rate, with proper use, the cover
will substantially diminish the loss of chemicals. It now becomes impractical and perhaps even detrimental to
follow your previous chemical program.

WARNING! Never leave an open pool unattended. Notify anyone you allow to operate your cover of the same!
FACTS ON FABRICS
We know that quite often our customers have shown a concern about the extra slack in the pool cover. There are several
factorsthatweuseindeterminingslack.Thewidthofthepool,waterleveldropandthegeographicalareacanallaffectthe
amount of slack we use. The reasons we have slack in our pool covers are as follows:
. The pool cover has extra slack to handle rain and snow loads. Without it the pool cover and, in some cases, the
pool could sustain substantial damage from excessive weight.
. The pool cover fabric will shrink! Sometimes it will shrink as much as one percent. This seems nominal, however,
it can amount to as much as three to four inches on a ’wide pool cover.
. Indoor pools are commonly heated year-round. They may shrink more than an outdoor pool cover.
Overourmanyyearsofexperiencewehavehadseveralexamples ofcovermaterialthathasbeenwellmaintainedlasting
beyondourexpectations.Thekeytolongevityin all cases has been properpoolwaterbalanceaswellas regularcareand
cleaning of the cover. Care of the cover is as simple as removing any sharp objects before opening the cover. Removing
leaves, insects, dirty water, etc. before they have a chance to affect the vinyl by leaving a residue. When the cover does

scrubbing, try using a small amount of
non-detergent cleanser. Never use detergents on the vinyl!
(One of the most available non-detergent cleaners is Ivory®bar soap. (Not dish washing liquid!) Use the bar soap on a wet
cloth and scrub the soiled area. Next, rinse well with fresh water.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR WEAR AND DETERIORATION
You should give the components of your automatic cover a thorough inspection at least two to three times a year.
 - VINYL COVER: The vinyl cover material is constructed with a tough combination of vinyl and a polyester mesh.
Overtheyears,depending on yourcover’s exposuretochemicals,heat and sun, the vinylwillbecomebrittleand eventu-
allybegintocrack.Whenthisoccursthepolyestermeshwillbeexposedandbegintochangethecapabilityofyourcoverto
holdweight.Inspection forthiskind ofdeteriorationshouldbeginwith an examination for leaks. If youhaveleaks, patch
thehole immediately.Checktheareaaroundtheholetoseeifithasbecomebrittleorstifferthantherestofthecover.Any
change in the feel of the vinyl where it begins to seem brittle or stiff can indicate a problem. If the normal square pattern

deck or coping it is possible to gradually wear the vinyl away from the reinforcing mesh. Once the mesh is exposed it can
begin to deteriorate or break. Have the cover repaired immediately if you notice this problem.

 - COVER TRACK: Since your track is the main means of anchoring your cover to your pool, inspection of the fasten-
ersusedtoholdyour tracktothepoolsidesisas importantasinspectingthecover.Makesurethatall screwsaretightand
replaced if missing. The channel or opening that your webbing slides in can wear over the years. Check for blackening

the track. If you feel there is marked difference in any of the items we have asked you to inspect, please contact your pool
cover serviceman immediately for a detailed inspection.
LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION: The working life of the mechanism will be enhanced and service problems reduced if a regular lubrica-
tionscheduleisfollowed.Neverovergrease-excessivelubricationwillcollectdirtandcanpossiblygetonthevinylcoveror

this will cause rapid deterioration of the threads, fabric and track.
