Instructions / Assembly

Using the heavy-duty drill fitted with a 3/4” drill bit, drill the spots
m
arked “A”, “B” and “C”, 13/4” to 2” deep. Sweep or hose the deck
clean. Insert anchors into the holes, with the keyhole facing the same
angle as the Tensioning Cord.
Tie a hook onto the end of the Tensioning Cord corresponding to
anchor “A”. Fasten the hook into anchor “A”.
Pull on the end of the Tensioning Cord that leads to anchors “B” and “C”,
to tighten the CTD. Knot a hook onto the “B” end of the Tensioning Cord
at the spot where the cord reaches anchor “B”. Make a loop in the “B”
e
nd of the Tensioning Cord, right in front of where the hook is attached
(Fig.8). This loop is to attach the Self-Closing Ratchet with the Ratchet
Latch Clip, and will be discussed in greater detail in Section 10.
If the net is still not as tight as possible, or the pulleys of the CTD are
not completely closed, you should adjust the tension on the “A” side of
the Tensioning Cord (to avoid having to retie the two knots on the “B”
side).
Close the hooks that you fastened into anchors “A” and “B”, by tapping
them closed with a hammer.
8) POSITIONING THE z STORAGE REEL:
The QuickRoll reel comes partially assembled and must be glued
together with clear PVC glue. (Practice assembling the reel before you
glue, since the glue dries very quickly.)
Position the assembled QuickRoll reel at one of the yellow-tagged
corners of the net as described in Section 1. Make sure the reel faces
the pool at an angle of 45º and is at least 3’ from the pool edge to allow
for free operation of the reel’s arm.
Drill a hole just behind the back end of the reel, 13/4” to 2” deep, with a
¾” drill bit. Sweep or hose the deck clean. Insert an anchor into the
hole, with the keyhole facing the pool at a 45º angle.
Attach a hook to the rear bottom rail of the QuickRoll reel with a length
of Binding Cord. Fasten this hook into the hole. Tap the hook closed
with a hammer. This hook will prevent the reel from sliding or moving
when rolling the net on or off the reel.
Attach the Latch Clip to the center of the rotating arm of the QuickRoll
reel with a length of Binding Cord. You will use the Latch Clip to “grab”
onto the bound edge of the net when you are ready to roll the net up
onto the reel.
9) OPERATING THE SELF-LOCKING RATCHET:
T
he WaterWarden Self-Locking Ratchet fastens into the anchor marked
“C” when it is being used to tighten the CTD.
Locate the Latch Clip attached to the Self-Locking Ratchet. Fasten the
L
atch Clip to the loop you made in the Tensioning Cord behind hook
“B”. Fasten hook “A” into anchor “A”. The Self-Closing Ratchet already
h
as a hook attached to it. Locate this hook, and insert Ratchet Hook
into anchor “C”.
Pull the Tightening Strap of the Ratchet to tense the CTD. When hook
“
B” has been pulled all the way to anchor “B”, fasten it into anchor “B”.
Press the Release button on the Ratchet to release the Tightening
Strap, and unclip the Latch Clip from the loop on the Tensioning Cord.
Store the Self-Locking Ratchet until next use, out of the reach of
children or water.
10) ATTACHING THE ASTM TAGS:
The three ASTM tags must be permanently attached to the pool net for
the net to comply with ASTM F1346-91 for manual safety covers.
Remove a tag from the paper backing. Pass the tag through one square
of net, around one of the bound edges of the net. Stick the two
adhesive sides of the tag together to seal it onto the net. Repeat for the
remaining tags.
11) ATTACHING THE WATERWARDEN TOKEN:
The WaterWarden token should be attached to the net next to the hook
which anchors directly opposite the QuickRoll reel. (opposite corner).
This hook should always be the first hook which is unclipped when
removing the net, and also the first hook fastened when reapplying the
net to the swimming pool. Knot the token onto the edge of the net with
the attached cord.
