1. Prepare dig zone by
removing pavers if
being installed into
pre paved area.
3. If space is restricted on one side place box at
least 100mm past the pool edge or as far as
possible if pool wall is on a boundary, please
ask us for advice on placement in restricted
space circumstances.
2. Dig trench to
minimum of 550mm
wide and 555mm
deep (BGB) or
400mm wide and
410mm deep (BGB
Small) and at least
300mm past either
side of the pools
waterline edge. For
example if pool is
4000mm wide dig
trench 4600mm long.
4. Once trench dug
to correct size
and depth, place
concrete slabs at
each end where
angle braces are
located on the box
(approx. 1000mm –
1200mm from end
of box).

Electrical Bonding AS/NZS 3000:2018
(Wiring Rules):
If unit is installed within arm’s reach
(1.25m) of the pool edge, engage a
licenced elitrian to equipotential bond
the unit.
Check state legislation before
commencing works

9. Once box is level
measure the
distance away
from pool headers
so they are the
same either side
within a couple of
millimetres.
5. Level these slabs so they are approx.
512-515mm (BGB) or 356-360mm (BGB
Small) below the finished height of paving or
concrete. Place spirit level on pool headers
and lay across the trench propping the other
end up so spirit level is level, using the level
measure down to slabs to obtain correct
depth of slab, use rubber mallet to tape
down to bed slab in.
7. Once blue metal is
down you are ready
to place box into
hole. Carry box to
the trench edge,
place rope or straps
under each end of
box and use these
to lift and lower into
hole.
11. Once box is level and square to the pool start
back filling with soil and washing in soil as
you go to eliminate any air pockets around
the box.
13. To prevent lid from decolourisation, protect
lid from concrete slurry, sealers, acids and
chlorine.
6. Once both slabs are in place and at correct
level place for sufficient drainage, blue metal
or aggregate along the trench making sure
you do not exceed more than 50mm above
the slab height, for boxes with a centre brace
or braces leave a small amount out so brace
doesn’t touch the blue metal.
NOTE: Take note of site and soil drainage
requirements. Extra (sub soil) drainage may
be required to take water away from the void
of the BGB. If there is not sufficient drainage
the BGB will fill with water.
8. With box in the hole
and end braces are
sitting on concrete slabs
level box up to required
height via the 4 bolts
inside the box, screw all
4 down so they touch
the concrete slabs and
then every 1 turn gives
you approx. 1mm of lift.
Make sure cover does
not touch bolt head.
10. Place supplied
spacers between lid
and front extrusion
on the box prior to
back filling
12. Leave spacers in place until paving or
concrete has been completed, this will
prevent any extra pressure caused from
walking around the box or compaction
pushing walls in too far.
14. The roller Bevel Gearbox drive mechanism
can be installed either side of unit. To change
ends simply unbolt the 8mm mounting bolts
(through square tube) to remove and turn the
roller around

15. To operate the roller:
A. To Recover: insert handle drive into socket, rotate handle to recover pool cover all the way into
the unit. Place handle inside unit, close lid
B. To Deploy: remove handle from unit so it does not damage the pool cover, take hold of one
side of the pool cover and gently walk down the length of the pool
NOTE:
i. Always roll the cover ‘over’ the tube never ‘under’ the rube
ii. If there is any obstruction on the cover it will make the roller harder to use, stop and check to
avoid damaging the pool cover
Install the pool cover to maximum water line size then test the operation of the BGB. The pavers over the
edge of the pool the pool can catch the sides of the pool cover acting like a brake. This is of no concern
for normal above ground rollers as the roller is picking up, or pulling the cover up and out of the pool.
With the BGB’s the cover is being pulled along the ground, meaning the edges are being pulled into the
corners not out of them.
Square pools and pools with non-round paving generally will be ‘grab’ the cover more simply trimming the
pool cover narrower, to the coping opening size will fix the problem
• Ensure lid is clear of debris, sand and dirt to avoid scratching the lid if people walk over it
• Check all mounting bolts are secure
• Check all coupling bolts are secure
• Apply smear of marine grade grease to gearbox shafts
