8. Attach Straps to Tubes:
Come in 6 inches from each tube end and attach a strap plate to the aluminum 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. (See Figure D Above)
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
as shown in Figure E Below Left. If Reel is to be placed in offset position, then attach cover
to strap plate forming a fold to act like a hinge and the plastic screw will go through two layers
of the solar blanket as shown in Figure F Below Right.
Bubbles should face down.

TUBE KIT ASSEMBLY:
• Loosely assemble extruded tubes together. Slide excess width into adjoining tubes, dividing it up as equally
as possible.
Note: You must have a minimum of 9” of overlap in each tube!
• Measure the width across the pool from plug surface to plug surface & adjust length of the tube assembly to fit the span.
• Lock the tubes together by rotating each adjoining tube in the opposite direction. (See Figure C Below)
• Attach the tube assembly into the Crank and Tubing Plugs and check for fit. Assemble Tube assembly together with
Crank Handles and Tube Plugs by lining up hole in the end of each tube fitted into Crank Handle and secure with metal
Axle Bolt and nut provided.
• When all is OK drill holes for the through bolts to connect the tubes. Use the pre-drilled holes in the outer tube as a guide to drill the
smaller inner tube. Drill from each side with the drill bit supplied.
• Fasten with 2 Bolts & Nuts at each join. Bolts are at right angles to each other

5. Positioning Your Solar Reel:
For Rectangular pools, place Wheels at either end of pool.
For Irregular shaped pools, place Wheels at some convenient midway point. You will need to
fold Blanket and allow Blanket to unwind in two directions. (See Illustrations below)
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 Reel stands!
The cover will unroll left and right of Reels & cross pole. Please allow 6 inches more material on length to allow for a fold
where straps will be attached for wind onto reel system.
(See Illustrations above)
• With scissors trim blanket to fit shape of pool. Be sure to clear pool edge coping.

7. Assembling The Tube Kit:
All Tube Sets consist of 6 sided Hexagon shaped aluminum tubing. There are two diameters of tubing, the smaller size nesting
into the larger size. All Tube Kits Begin and End with Small Tubes. The Tube Plug Requires CAREFUL ALIGNMENT!
(See Illustration Below For Proper Plug Insertion)
