ABOVE GROUND POOL SAFETY
warning
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT INJURY,
PARALYSIS FROM A BROKEN NECK, ELECTROCUTION OR DROWNING.
THIS POOL IS NOT DESIGNED FOR DIVING OR JUMPING!
DANGEROUS INJURY CAN RESULT, SHALLOW WATER!
Your pool contains a large quantity of water, and is deep enough to present inherent dangers to life and health unless the follow-
ing safety rules are strictly observed. First-time users run the highest risk of injury. Make sure everyone understands. To insure
your pool is used safely you must observe the following safety precautions:
1. NO JUMPING OR DIVING
The top rail of your pool is not a walkway and must not be used for jumping or diving. Do not
permit jumping or diving into the pool from a deck or the top rail of the pool. Diving or jumping
into the pool can result in serious injury.
2. NEVER USE THE POOL ALONE
Never permit the pool to be used unless it is attended by at least one person other than the
bather. Someone should always be available to lend assistance in an emergency.
3. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED
Never leave a child alone and unsupervised in or near the pool—not even for a second. There
is no substitute for constant adult supervision.
4. NO ROUGH PLAY
Do not permit “rough-playin” in and around your pool. Surfaces can become slippery and
hazardous when wet.
5. LIGHT THE POOL AT NIGHT
If the pool is used after dusk, adequate lighting must be provided. Illumination in the pool area
must be sufcient to clearly judge pool depth and all features in and around the pool. For light-
ing recommendations, consult your local licensed electrical contractor
6. RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE POOL
Do not leave chairs or other furniture beside the pool that could be used by a child to climb
up into the pool. Ladders must be removed whenever the pool is unattended. A fence with a
lockable gate around the pool or yard is strongly recommended and may be required by law in
some jurisdictions.
7. NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your judgment and
reexes.
8. KEEP YOUR POOL CLEAN AND SANITARY
Your lter system will remove suspended particles from the water and the surface skimmer
will remove insects, leaves and other debris from the water surface. Use the correct pool
chemicals as directed to destroy harmful bacteria and prevent formation of algae. Remember,
unsanitary water is a serious health hazard.
The safety stickers must be installed as per following instructions. Failure to properly install warning labels will void warranty.
Failure to mount these safety labels may subject you to substantial liability in case of injury. These warning are not to be removed
under any circumstances! If they become discolored or fall off please request replacements which will be sent at no charge.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and follow all safety instructions packaged with pool, ladder, deck or any other accessory.
Additional pool safety publications can be obtained by contacting: The Association of Pool &
Spa Professionals (www.apsp.org)
important notice read before installation!
9. KEEP OFF TOP LEDGES
Do not walk on top ledges. They can be slippery and they are not a walkway.
10.POOL COVER SAFETY
The cover must have a tamperproof locking retainer cable that positions the cover around the
pool wall and keeps it securely in place. Never allow anyone, especially small children on the
cover. Asphyxiation or drowning could result. When purchasing any pool cover, please consult a
swimming pool professional.
11.ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Never touch or attempt to service electrical equipment, including the lter when your body and/
or the ground is wet. Electrocution or permanent injury due to high voltage (120V AC) could
result. The pool should be bonded in accordance with Section 680-26 of the National Electical
Code. For further assistance contact your dealer or a local licensed electrician. Do not use pool
during electrical or rain storms.
12.SAFETY ROPE & POLE
Keep a safety rope 1/4" by 50" with a otation buoy with an outside diamter of 15". Have ac-
cessible in a prominent area by your pool. Keep a pole not less that 16 feet (4,88m) long with a
blunt or hook end available at pool side in case of emergencies.
13. POOL CHEMICALS
Do not place chlorine, chlorine tablets or sticks directly into skimmer, or winterize your pool with
liquid chlorine. Damage to the skimmer, pool liner and lter will result. Failure to obey this in-
struction will void all component warranties. Always follow Chemical Manufacturer’s instructions
when storing, handling and dispensing pool chemicals.
14.CHECK FOR DAMAGE
Periodically check your pool and ladder components for damage and wear. Be sure all screws
are in place. Replace all damaged or worn components and tighten all screws before you use
the pool, deck or ladders. At rst sign remove rust and touch up immediately.
15. POOL PARTS
Never modify the pool or accessories, or remove or drill holes in the pool, deck or ladder com-
ponents unless instructed. Your pool wall is made of thin metal, there is an inherent cut hazard
with metal so use gloves during installation. Always use Original Equipment Manufactured parts
for your replacement parts.

• Payspecialattentiontochoosingthe
rightlocationforyourpool:
• Choosealargearea,asatandlevel
aspossibleandwelldrained.
• Chooseaspotondry,rmearth—
donotinstallthepoolonconcrete,
asphalt,tarpaper,sand,gravel,peat
moss,woodorchemicallytreated
soil.
• Checkwithyourpooldealertosee
ifNutGrassgrowsinyourarea.
Thistypeofgrassmaygrowup
throughyourpoolliner.Yourdealer
willbeabletoadvisehowbestto
treatthesite.
• Slopedareaswillneedtobemade

d.Putacarpenter’slevelonthe2-by-4
andswingtheboardinacircletond
thehighandlowspots.
e.Removeallthehighspotswitha
shovel,hoeorrake.Tomakesure
yourpoolisstable,compactthe
groundwellbeforeaddingthesand.
Bepreparedtohireearthmoving
equipmentifyouneedtolevelalarge
area.Remember,yourpoolmustbe
levelacrossthediameterofthepool
f. Smalldipsandhollowsmaybelled
in,butthesoilmustbehard-packed
withatampingtool.
g.Removethe2-by-4fromthestakeand
nailittothenextstakeonthecen-
treline.
h.Repeatthelastvestepsuntilthe
wholeovalareaislevel.Takeyourtime
andmakesuretheareais perfectly
level.Ifnecessary,adjusttheheightof
eachstakeandkeepscrapingawaysoil
untiltheentireareaislevel.
i. Takematerialsuchasrockdustorne
mortarthatcanconformasolid,per-
manentbaseanddepositthismaterial
aroundtherimofthebasin.Themate-

perimeterofthepooltoawidthof24”
(60cm)andathicknessof2”(5cm).
j. Rechecktheouterperimeterofthe

5. Add Corner Stakes
a. Prepareeightcornerstakes(D),(E),
(F)&(G),and(H),(I),(J)&(K)by
markingthecentrepoint ofeachstake
thesamewayasinstep4(c).
b. Drivetheeightcornerstakesintothe
ground.Drivethemdownushwith
thegroundsurface.Locateeachstake
exactlybyusingthemeasurements
foryourpoolinthechartbelow.Be
suretomeasureusingthecentrepoint
ofeachstake.
c. Tiestringsbetweenstakes(H)and(I)andbetween(J)and(K).
6. Prepare Buttress Trenches
a. Locatethersttrenchbymeasuring
the distance Mfromthecentreof
stake(H)tothecentreline ofthe
trench.Usethechartbelowtondthe
rightdistanceMforyourpool.
b. Placeastakeinthegroundonthe
edgeoftheclearedareaatdistance

thecentrelineofthersttrenchto
thecentrelineofthenexttrench.Use
thechartonpreviouspagetondthe

d. PlaceanotherstakeinthegroundontheedgeoftheclearedareaatdistanceN,under-
neaththestringaddedinstep5(c).
e. Repeatsteps(a)to(d)fortheothersideofyourpool.
f. Tieastringbetweeneachpairofstakesonoppositesidesoftheclearedarea(the

g. Markthecentrelinesalongeachstringwiththecanofspraypaint.
h. Recheckyourmeasurements.MakesurethedistancesMandNexactly matchthe
distancesgiveninthechartabove(seealsodiagram26)andthatthecentrelinesfor
thetrenchesareexactly parallel.
i. Removethestrings.(Note: Keepthestrings.Theywillbetemporarilyreplacedlater,
afterthetrenchesaredugout,tohelpyoudouble-checkthatthetrenchesareparallel.)

ished.
l. Spreadalayerofcrushedlimestone
(orequivalent)1"(25mm)thickinto

andtampdownthestabilizeruntilasolidbaseisachieved
(standingonthepatiostonehelpspreventthestonefrommov-
ing).Donottamptoohardorthepatiostonewillmove.
o. Recheckthedistancesbetweenthepatiostoneandmakeanyadjustmentsyouneedto
