FOREWORD
This instruction manual is intended for the person who installs and commissions
an ABRIBLUE safety cover.
This manual must then be given to the pool owner along with the instruction
and safety manual so that it is available for later use.
The advice given in this leaflet is taken from the experience of AS POOL (ABRIBLUE):
with over 45,000 automatic covers since 1995. The advice will allow the user to make the
best use of this product which should give compete satisfaction to its users.
Compliant with the highest requirements, our safety cover was designed to prevent children
younger than 5 years old from accessing the pool when it is unrolled and locked.
The floating safety cover is not a substitute for your common sense or your responsibilities.
It does not replace the vigilance of a responsible adult, which remains the essential factor in the
protection of young children.

3.4 Cutting the pool sides
Fig. 15 and 16
Cut the ends of the pool sides (if they overhang the
pool) for a length "x" depending on the length of the
pool "L" in order to allow the blades to move from the
axis to the pool.
4. Assembling the blades
Special care needs to be taken when handling the
blades. Shearing can cause irreparable damage to
the caps. This is why they must not be assembled by
threading
4.1 Placing the blades on the water
Fig. 17
4.1.1 Transfer the blades directly from the container to the
pool water avoiding all mechanical contacts.
4.1.2 Place the packets of blades directly onto the water,
curved side towards the sky and the double male
hook on the farthest side from the roller. Place the
specific groups of blades (the group fitted with
straps to hook to the axis on the roller side, the
group fitted with the other anti-lift mechanisms
on the side furthest from the roller, the blades for
the stairs).
4.2 Assembling the blades
Fig. 18
4.2.1 Assemble the blades by clipping them together by
inserting the double male hook into the female part
of the preceding blade and then by pushing the
blades up into a "V" shape towards the sky.
4.2.2 Make oscillating movements in order to cause the
fitting along the whole length of the blade.

4.3 Adjustment of the number of blades
Fig. 19
Only keep the blades needed to cover the entire surface
of the water when joined in the pool, the eventual extra
blades should be stored away.
4.4 Controlling the fit
Fig. 20
Place the cover against a length of the pool. Check
that there is a gap greater than 2.5 cm between the
ends of the wings and the sides of the pool (needed for
operation) and less than 7 cm (otherwise the cover is
no longer compliant). 10, 20, 25 and 30 mm wings are
available on order.
4.5 Placing the stair blades
Fig. 21
Centre the stair cover in its housing and assemble it to
the rest of the cover by making a notch in the double
male hook on either side of the stairs in order to leave
the space for the cap on the base stair blade.

the pool, place the orientation ski on the lower face of
the cover between the blade the furthest from the roller
and the next one after having flattened it. Reshape it to
its curved shape in order to raise the first blade which
drops down into the water in order to ease the unrolling
and avoid that the cover goes towards the back.

This document is the property of AS POOL - of the NextPool group and cannot be reproduced or communicated without our authorisation.
• Check that there are no bathers or foreign bodies in the
pool before activating the cover.
• Keep the tools needed to activate the covers out of the
reach of children.
• Only a responsible adult should undertake to
manoeuvre the cover.
• It is prohibited to climb onto, walk on or jump on a
safety cover.
• Take all necessary measures to prevent access to the
pool by young children, until the cover is repaired, or
when a malfunction prevents the closure of the cover to
secure the pool, or if the pool equipment is temporarily
unavailable.
• Comply with the water levels defined by the
manufacturer.
1. Safety advice
WARNING:
The pool can be a serious hazard for your children. A drowning
can happen quickly. Children close to a pool require your constant
vigilance and an active surveillance, even if they can swim.
The physical presence of an adult is essential when the pool is open.
Learn first aid actions
Memorise the emergency service phone numbers
and display them near the pool:
Fire Brigade: 112
AMBULANCE: 15
Poison Centre: Write down the N°: ..........
• This cover is not a substitute for common sense or
personal liability. Its aim is not to be a substitute for the
vigilance of parents and/or responsible adults, which
remains the essential factor in the protection of young
children.
• Be aware that safety is only assured with a closed,
locked cover which is correctly installed in compliance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
• The cover must be systematically unrolled and locked
during absences, however short, from the home.

3/8 - Safety instructions and usage guide for the automatic pool cover 3
This document is the property of AS POOL - of the NextPool group and cannot be reproduced or communicated without our authorisation.
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 blades in the
trench (against the beam or the separating wall), or to
avoid it rubbing against the pool rims, or to avoid the
blades being warped by excess or insufficient water
levels. Make sure that the overflow and the water level
regulator are operational 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 operation 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
closure operations. It may be necessary to accompany
the cover manually during rolling or unrolling operations
in order to position correctly if there is a strong side
wind, a free form pool, or a pool with a specific
configuration.
• It is imperative not to halt the cover in an intermediate
position, 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 manoeuvre must
make sure there are no bathers in the pool before
starting.
• Check that the hose or power supply cable of the pool
cleaner does not get tangled in the cover; this could jam
the operation of the roller and damage the PVC blades.
• Check that unrolling and rolling runs correctly on the
first few metres (the blades roll effortlessly, there is not
jamming on the axis with the top "bulging" towards to
outside of the roll), if necessary, stop the manoeuvre
immediately in order to intervene on the cause of the
malfunction.
• The rotation speed of the axis is not constant because
of the rolling/unrolling of each new layer of blades
which unbalances the roller. Adapt the wheel rotation
speed on the manual model in order to avoid the harder
spots by handling the wheel with both hands.
• It is imperative during rolling or unrolling operations, not
to release the key until the end of run stops have been
reached (especially on the BANCS) in order to correctly
position the blades when rolling in is complete, or on
the water when unrolling is complete.
• On the model without end of runs, make sure not to roll-
in the blades too much in order to prevent them from
falling to the rear and breaking.
• Do not operate the cover more than 15 consecutive
minutes.
• It is prohibited to manoeuvre the cover if there is a load
on the duck board alley of an immersed cover, this
might cause the cover to scrape the beam.
• Prohibit an overload on the duck board alley for an
immersed cover due to the physical limits of the beam
and the fixtures. The alley of duck boards is supported
by the pool edge and the beam, it is designed to
support a maximum load of 400 kg over its complete
length (duck board included) and 150 kg per linear
metre.
• Do not walk or jump on the covering of the BANC roller
in order to avoid warping it.
• It is essential, for safety reasons, to remove the key
from the control box or the wheel from the manual
command once the opening or closure are complete.
• Programme the filtering system to start as soon as
the "solar" blades are in sunlight. During very sunny
periods with the cover closed, the water temperature
can reach 30° or more and can damage the blades.
• It is strongly recommended not to empty the pool
without the authorisation of your installer.
• If the cover is fitted with a WING System®, take care not
to operate the cover without having folded the WING
System®onto the cover. Operating the cover with the
WING System®deployed can cause major damage to
the cover and the pool.
• If the cover is fitted with a SURF System (mobile roller),
make sure the roller is correctly positioned on the pool
before any automatic manoeuvre of the blades.
• In the case of an emergency operation, a person
walking on the cover will have his/her feet under the
water.
• Limit operating the 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 shocks and mechanical
contacts on the blades when the temperature is below
0°C.
• When the installation is on a sheltered pool, make sure
the maximum air temperature is not above 40°C. Make
sure the surrounding air is ventilated in order to avoid all
distortions and deteriorations of the parts (PVC blades,
bench sides, duck boards...).

3. Maintenance advice
The maintenance of the ABRIBLUE automatic cover
is at the expense and under the responsibility of the
user.
• The use of an automatic cover maintains the quality
of the water and reduces the amounts of treatment
products needed.
• Maintain a good water balance in order to avoid
damaging your automatic cover.
Water
characteristics
Minimum
recommended
value
Maximum
recommended
value
pH 7,2 7,6
Chlorine 0.7 ppm 1.2 ppm
Bromine 1.5 ppm 2.5 ppm
TAC 80 ppm 120 ppm
TH 100 ppm 300 ppm
Stabiliser 10 ppm 40 ppm
Temperature 1°C 30°C
• Prolonged or repeated overdoses of products are
damaging to the PVC blades. An acid pH below 7
can corrode metal parts. A lack of treatment causes
the proliferation of algae and favours the putrefaction
process which can cause the irreparable appearance of
brown stains on the PVC blades.
• Check the operation of the chlorinator when the pool
is closed for long periods. This type of device cannot
be fitted with a stop in production and can cause
irremediable damage to submerged mechanisms
(corrosion) in the event of a high concentration of
chlorinated products in contact with the PVC blades.
To correct this situation, occasionally air the pool water
by opening the cover taking care to guard the access to
the pool while it is open.
• During a chlorine booster operation, roll the cover, start
the filtering system and guard the access to the pool for
children of less than 5 years old.
• Clean your cover at least twice a year using a high
pressure cleaner or a sponge using a descaling product
and/or a degreasing product (water line gel type). Do
not use a solvent or abrasive product as these may
deteriorate the PVC blades. Do not spray water onto
the axis as this might deteriorate the motor.
• During the summer period, clean the blade storage
trench once per month using a manual vacuum brush.
Regularly remove any debris from the cover.
• Check the correct operation of the water level regulation
(overflow not clogged, automatic filling correctly set)
• Make the that the zone where the cover motor is located
is fitted with a drain preventing the motor from being
immersed at all times (in case of flooding)
• Check that the blades are not subjected to temperature
differences greater than 15° between the outside air
and the water in order to avoid them from warping
(case of a highly heated pool in a cold environment: in
mountainous regions for example).
• When using a cover installation under a shelter, make
sure the shelter is aired and limit its temperature to
40°C maximum and avoid the blades and bench sides
from overheating
• Protect wood elements such as duck boards and
bench sides. Wood, whatever its origins, is subjected
to the aggression of the environment on a daily basis:
walking, bad weather, dampness or dry weather. It
therefore needs a minimum of maintenance. Prefer a
wood saturator. For it to be efficient we recommend
that you apply it using a brush until saturation in order
to stabilise it and avoid tannins from being rejected. The
coats must be applied when the previous coat is still
damp, without any drying time between them (2 or 3
coats according to the porosity). Avoid wax or silicone
based products, they are very quickly decomposed
by UVs and washed away in bad weather. Depending
on climatic conditions, exotic woods become silvery
grey over time.Avoid varnishes, they form unstable
films which are subject to flaking. We recommend the
products Durieu DESKS OLJE D1 (mentioned in the
"Techniques PISCINES" review) for the maintenance
of exotic woods. If you have tannin stains on your pool
rims or protective cover, we recommend the application
of concentrated chlorine using a brush followed by
copious rinsing.
• Do not cover the opaque blades with a hermetic
tarpaulin, this would risk creating a major heating effect
(glass house effect) which could cause the blades to
warp permanently.
• Check the good condition, the tightness and the correct
fixture of the safety loops.
• Check that the straps linking the blades to the axis are
always tightly in place and evenly spread.
• Check the ends of the blades, check that they are
aligned and that the caps and wings are not broken. A
blade not aligned with the rest of the cover could jam
when the cover is moving and cause major damage.

4. Appendix maintenance
advice
In the event of a malfunction or a repair preventing
the closure and the securing of the pool, take all
necessary measures to prevent the access to the
pool of children of less than 5 years old.
• AS POOL (ABRIBLUE) only distributes its technical
products via a network of pool professionals which
carries out the installation and follow-up depending
on the specificities of the pool. AS POOL (ABRIBLUE)
does not communicate directly with the pool owners.
Have Servicing of the automatic cover carried out by
a professional trained to this effect (we recommend
your installer of whom the details are on the cover of
this manual), they will be able to contact our technical
assistance department. All spare parts must be original
spare parts in order to maintain our guarantee and the
cover’s compliance with the standard.
• Carry out a complete revision of the cover once per
year.
• Each time it is commissioned, the cover should
be inspected to identify deteriorations that may
compromise its correct operation. A professional will
diagnose whether some blades need to be replaced.
• Check that the maintenance advice is applied and that
the user carries out the checks regularly. Otherwise go
over them item by item.
• Check that the coupling nuts are tightened, that the
stop ring and all the screws are present on the axis.
• Check that the electric connections are tight and
operate correctly. Make sure there is no humidity or
oxidation on the cover's electric contacts (terminals in
the box, box connections, contacts and key switch).
• Check the condition and the ageing of the locking
mechanisms and the elastics used to maintain the PVC
blades. Check that the straps are tight on the axis.
• Check the correct operation of the filtering system, the
overflow and the water level regulator.
• Carry out several rolling and unrolling tests to make
sure the cover is operational and especially to check
that the end of run stops are correctly placed.
• When the system does not respond, your installer
can secure the pool by uncoupling the cover roller
and manually unrolling the cover onto the pool before
locking the safety mechanisms on the pool cover. In
this situation the pool cannot be used until the cover is
repaired.
• Handling the uncoupling of the roller mechanism, to be
read thoroughly before operation, with the installation
instructions.

5. Maintenance advice
wintering advice
Wintering advice is described below, however, it is
the installer's responsibility to recommend a solution
depending on the availability of the customer and the
geographical location of the pool.
• Carry out active wintering by operating the circulation
of the water and filtering during the coldest moments of
the day (An anti-freeze thermostat can trigger filtering as
soon as the air temperature falls below 0°).
• Keep the water level normal, excess water will drain from
the overflow.
• Clean the blades unrolled on the pool water using a
high pressure cleaner and then sweep the pool and the
storage trench. Treat the water with wintering products.
• Keep your cover unrolled in the pool and, if the pool is
surrounded by a lot of vegetation, fit a netting, permeable
cover over it in order to avoid the decay of leaves and
other vegetable debris on the PVC covers. Do not store
the cover rolled with an accumulation of leaves or debris
which would trigger an irremediable decaying process
causing incrusted stains to form on the PVC blades. This
physical phenomenon is not covered by the warranty for
the blades.
• Protect the skimmers and piping exposed to freezing.
• Protect the motors from flooding.
• Cut the power supply to the electric box.
• Do not operate or touch the blades when they are ice
bound. If there is a risk of the pool icing over, have the
immersed axis and the roller motor removed.
• For models using solar power, the batteries can
remain in place if the solar panel is not covered and
continues its charging function. If the panel is covered
and can lo longer charge using sunlight, the batteries
must be disconnected and stored in a dry place. When
recommissioning, let the batteries charge (a half day of
sunlight) before operating the cover.
