1. Check prevailing winds: The skimmer should be
downwind to aid,Jn removing pool surface debris.
2. Pump and filter location. Allow room to service
your pool equipment..
3. Do not install your pool liner on top of anything
abrasive. Installing your liner on -top of abrasives
such as concrete;: asphalt, peat moss, tar paper,
gravel, or wood could puncture your. liner.
4. Do not install.Our pool liner on top of grass or tree
roots. They may'grow up.through your liner.
5. Do not install your pool on soil that has ;recently
been treated with petroleum based chemicals.
Some soil treatment chemicals may destroy your
pool liner. Consult your pool dealer.
6. Treat the ground inside the pool area with a
non -petroleum based fungicide (available at garden
supply shops). This may help prevent liner staining
caused by fungus. Consult'your-pool dealer.
7. •Rid pool area of -burrowing pests and insects such
as gophers and termites. They can cause liner dam-
age.
8. Locate a convenient electrical outlet. for filter and
pump;Atways have a.quaiified electrician install a
ground fault. circlet interrupter (See Warnings).
9::Check wall clearances. Be sure you have enough
room to work around your pool (18" minimum).
10. Avoid overhanging eaves. Prevent water running
off of roof and carrying debris into your pool.
11. Avoid overhanging branches.. Prevent leaves and
tree branches from failinginto your pool.
12. Avoid sun reflection into residence in order to
prevent glare into house.

Transition rails, note location on diagram above (*)
Begin ends of framework by installing the four rails
(*) stamped 12 or Li2 for 12' wide ovals, stamped.
L-15-2 for 15' wide ovals, stamped 16. for 16' wide
ovals, stamped TR-18 for 33'x1$' pools, stamped TR
for 21' wide ovals, place to the outside on the end
side verticals. Rails "stamped "S" go between each
side vertical and the remaining rails are for the ends.
Pay close attention when installing transition rails,
these rails must be installed by the outside edge of
each side support vertical. Complete ends byslid-
ing bottom rails (groove up) into vertical end caps.
Confirm levelness of installation by placing level on
top of bottom rails. Check around the oval to be sure
ground is flat and within 1 inch of level at opposite
sides and ends of pool.

Patio Block Installation (optional but recommend-
ed): Center 12" x 12" x 2" patio blocks under vertical
end caps around ends of pool and mark their posi-
tions with a'stick. Move bottom framework from ends
.out of your way in sections. Turn patio blocks out
next to their marked positions. Dig soil in the marked
locations away to the depth of the.patio block. Patio
blocks must sit in solid, undisturbed earth, and be
flush with level ground, and have no movement when
turned back into place. Use leveling tools and/or
transit to make sure each block is level and that.all
blocks are level to each other. NOTE: If you plan to
use sifted earth for pool cove, bring it into pool area
at this time. Reinstall bottom framework: Check again
for levelness, and to see that vertical end caps are
centered on patio blocks. Remove stakes C, D, E

construction. Determine starting point of wall with
respect to the desired skimmer location: The skim-

Always start wall at center of a vertical end cap.
Uncoil about 6 to 10 feet.of wall and insert bottom
edge into groove in bottom rails. Place stabilizer rails
on top edgeof pool -wall, working around top of pool
as wall is inserted into bottom rails. Telescope small

Secure stabilizerrails to wall with duct tape between
vertical end caps.
NOTE: Place enough sifted earth into the pool area
to cover the pressure pads and to form the cove if not
using preformed cove.

Step 13... CONNECT WALL JOINT
Bring the wall ends together in the center of the ver-
tical end cap. If interlocking wall ends do- not meet,
adjust all vertical end caps in or.out uniformly as
required. Do not make the total adjustment with only
one or two vertical end caps. Fasten wall with screws
supplied in wall carton. Screw head must be on the
inside of pool. When finished, go back and retighten
all screws and nuts. Remove.any burrs on all screw
heads. Place protective vinyl strip, included in hard-.
ware pack, over screw,heads and tape in place.

in detail inLpur parts list.
Step 18...
CHECK WALL RADIUS
Important Step: At this. time, fill in all excavations
on outside of pool. Cover inside pressure pads and
horizontal beams with approximately 3" of damp
sifted earth; tamp and blend to bottom of pool. Check
pool framework to assure level 'installation. Place the
level on each top, rail, working gradually around pool,
to assure framework is on flat ground with opposite
sides no more than 1. inch out of level. Remember:
Always remove dirt to adjust framework - never
fill in! Use level to check straightness of verticals.
Using Stake A as center point, measure from stake
to pool wail to assure roundness of ends. Measure
to left wall, right wall, and to each connector at pool
end. Distance should be equal at all points. Follow
same procedure using Stake B as center point for
opposite end:

Work in both directions from the point where the liner
is overhanging. Unfold liner, drape over the top rail
and down the sides approximately.24 inches. The
liner should be barely above the pool floor in the
center ONLY. Remember that the center seam of the {
liner must be positioned at the center line of the pool.
The.bottom edge seam of the liner should be inside
-the pool about 12 inches from the top rails. Correct
bunching or pleating conditions in the. liner wall. In-
spect liner for open seams. If found, return to dealer
for prompt replacement of liner.

CONTINUE FILLING POOL
Adjust liner evenly, all the way around the pool. When
properly installed the bottom seam will be approx-
imately midway up the cove. Continue filling until
water is 2 "' up the wall then stop filling. Never allow
liner to fall back into pool. Do not resume filling
until Steps 24, 25 and 26.are completed. CAUTION:
Do not cut any openings into liner at this time.

HEM
V- POOL WALL
Make a return hem as illustrated, DO NOT cut off'
excess liner' material as the liner will "Slip" from under
the plastic coping, causing liner to fall back into the
pool. Smooth liner against wall and secure to top of
wall with plastic coping. Place stabilizer rails over
coping, alternately telescoping small diameter into
large diameter about 6 inches as before. One large
diameter stabilizer rail fits between each pair of side
supports. They DO NOT telescope.
N
NOTE: At the skimmer and return openings only,
the return hem must be cut away between the steel
side wall and the liner side wall. (This will insure that
there is only once thickness of liner material covering -
the skimmer and return openings to affect a positive
gasket seal). DO NOT CUT the liner sidewall at any
other location. Replace.a!l.parts removed in Step 25.
Repeat same steps for entire pool perimeter, working
just three top rail -sections at,a time. DO -NOT allow
liner to fall' :hack into pool.

fitter, etc. using' instructions provided with units.
