INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of our Premium Resin Solar Reel for Inground Pools. Please follow the instructions carefully so as to not void

warranty.

2. Please use your solar blanket and reel assembly in the manner it was intended for:

a. Your solar blanket is not a safety cover

b. Remove the solar blanket and solar reel assembly from the pool completely before swimming use.

c. Do not store the solar blanket on the ground in direct sunlight, as it will burn the lawn

3. Preparation & Assembly: Check inventory of all items and assemble as illustrated below:

Resin

Insert

Adaptor

RETRACTABLE WHEEL FEATURE:

To expose wheels, tilt the reel stand in one

direction to remove weight from the stand.

Raise locking tooth and rotate thumbwheel

clockwise. Lower the locking tooth to

re-lock. To hide wheels, raise locking tooth

and rotate thumbwheel counter clockwise.

Lower locking tooth to re-lock.

4. Depending upon the size of your pool you will also require one of the following Storage Kits: (Storage Kit assembly is detailed below.)

5. Positioning Your Solar Reel:

For Rectangular pools, place Wheels at either end of pool. (See Fig. A)

For Irregular shaped pools, place Stands at some convenient midway point. You will need to fold Blanket and allow Blanket to unwind in two

directions. (See Fig. B)

6. Trimming Your Solar Blanket:

• Lay your Solar Blanket (not provided) on top of water. IMPORTANT! Irregular Shaped Pools will need to have their solar covers folded at point

of placement of Stands! The cover will unroll left and right of stands & cross pole. Please allow 6 inches more material on length to allow for a

fold where straps will be attached to wind onto reel system. (See Fig. B above)

• With scissors trim blanket to t shape of pool. Be sure to clear pool edge coping.

7. Assembling The Storage Kit:

All Storage Kits consist of 6 sided Hexagon shaped tubing. There are two diameters of tubing, the smaller size nesting into the larger size. All Stor-

age Kits begin and end with small tubes. The resin insert adaptor requires CAREFUL ALIGNMENT!

a. All storage kits consist of hexagon shaped tubing. There are two diameters of tubing; the smaller diameter

will insert into the larger diameter.

b. Determine length of tube required for your installation. Maximum nished length per storage kit size listed

above (in Step 4).

Please Note: The smaller diameter tube will be used on both ends of the reel and will connect to the base

unit. Two of the smaller diameter tubes will have pre-drilled axle bolt holes on one end. The pre-drilled end

will be connected to the base unit.

(Image 1)

c. Loosely assemble tubes together to match the desired length for your installation, evenly dividing the excess

at each connection. Note that the smaller diameter tube must be inserted a minimum of 9” into the larger

diameter tube at each connection. Tip: Measure in 9” from end of smaller diameter tube and make a mark

with a pencil. (Image 2) The tube must be inserted at least to your pencil mark. It is ok if tube is inserted

more than 9”, but not less.

d. Once you determine length and have proper spacing of tubes, mark each tube at the connection point for

reference. (Image 3) This will eliminate the need to re-measure if your tubes get moved during the remain-

der of the installation process.

e. Each connection will be fastened together with the through bolts supplied in your Storage Kit. Use the

pre-drilled holes in the larger diameter tube as a guide to drill the smaller inner tube. (Image 4) Twist tubing

to remove excess play prior to drilling holes. (Image 5 - Before Twisting, Image 6 - After Twisting) (Fig. C on

last page) Drill from each side with the drill bit supplied. (Image 7)

f. Fasten with 2 bolts and nuts at each connection. (Image 8, Image 9, Image 10)

g. For off-season storage of Solar Blanket - Install wood screw hooks into fence, wall or even hang from

garage or shed ceiling. Be sure to install hooks into solid wood posts or studs. Roll solar blanket onto the

storage system and suspend from hooks using the enclosed storage straps.

8. Attach Straps to Tubes:

Come in 6 inches from each tube end and attach a strap plate to the tube assembly. Use the self drilling screws on the drill line to attach the

plate. Look at the holes that were pre-drilled at the factory and use the same drill line. There are 6 lines on each tube. Take the remaining strap

plates and connect them evenly along the length of the tube assembly. Attach straps to strap plate. (Fig. D)

9. Attach Solar Blanket to Straps:

If reel is to be placed at the end of the pool, attach cover to strap plate with plastic screw. (Fig. E) If reel is to be placed in offset position, then
