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 for wind onto reel system. (See Fig. B 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 Insert Requires CAREFUL ALIGNMENT!

TUBE KIT ASSEMBLY:
a. All tube kits consist of hexagon shaped aluminum 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. Note maximum finished length per tube kit size listed above (in Step 4). Please note: 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 predrilled 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 remainder of the installation process.
e. Each connection will be fastened together with the through bolts supplied in your tube 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)

3″ dIAmETER TubE KITS: (If you purchased a 4″ diameter tube kit, go to 4″ diameter tube kit instructions below a. Attach tube assembly to base unit. b. The resin tube insert must be inserted into the end of the tube. (Image 11) c. Insert Crank handle through the base unit and into the tube insert. (Image 12) Be sure to align
axle hole. d. Fasten tube to base unit using the 2.83″ axle bolt that is packaged with your base kit. (Image

4″ dIAmETER TubE KITS: Note: The 4″ tube kit is packaged with two metal inserts and two resin inserts. See pictures of each. (Image 14) You will use the large resin inserts for your installation. a. The metal inserts and small resin inserts that were packaged with the base kit can now be
discarded as they will not be used. b. The resin tube insert must be inserted into the end of the tube. (Image 15) c. Insert Crank handle through the base unit and into the tube insert. Be sure to align axle hole.
(Image 16) d. Fasten tube to base unit using the 3.75″ axle bolt that is packaged with your tube kit. (Image
17) Note: the 2.83″ axle bolt that is packaged with your base kit can be discarded as it will not be used. e. Repeat same procedure on opposite end.
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. (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 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. (Fig. F)
Bubbles should face down.
