STEP ll—.LEV�LING THE STRAIGHT SIDES: The leveling of the shaight sides is a very crucial part of a good 'mstallarion If this is not done accurately it will cause a lot of problenas for you. The strap end channeis are two inches deep. The top of the strap end channel needs to be level with the grounc The bottom plates or bottom cuffs on the curved sides also need to be level with the ground. One at a time we recommend digging the strap end chaunels into the ground. Once all of the channels on a side are level, put a 2" x 8" x 16" patio block under the back of each stzap end channel as shown in Fig.39 and Fig.40. This must be done for each strap end channel. Remember the block is two inches deep and so is the end channel. You will need to dig down a total of 4" where the block is in order to get the top of the strap end channel to ground level. Once you have completed one entue side, do the same for every strap end channel on the opposite side. After that is complete it is a good idea to check that your shaight side uprights are all level from top to bottom by using a carpenters level. The pressure plates and straight side bottom rails ensure that your bottoms are still 42" on center Be sure that the tops of the straight side uprights are as well.

Before doing this you may want to measure the overall length and width of the pool to ensure that it is the same size as shown on step 10 of this booklet. If it is off by a couple of inches your wall will not fit properly. �ou can fix this situation by simply sliding the curved side bottam rails in or out of the bottom plates or bottom cuffs as shown in Fig.42 and Fig.43. This should be done • an even amount for ea.ch plate or cuff. Once you are certain that the pool is the correct siz�, level the curved sides of the pool. Do this by placing a 2" x 8" x 16" patio block under each of the bottom plates or bottom cuffs. The blocks will need to be sunk into tt ground so that the bottom plates or bottom cuffs aze at the same level as the tops of the strap end channels. It is also important to make sure that the rails between the plates or cuffs are resting flat on the ground. g Rails can be Fi . 41 LEVEL PATfO BLOCK �� . in or out fror o Q stops on the .� : botrom piat� cuffs to adju: :-.�� wall length b =•� � "�' =ti a litde off. : :;� `; :z:..�. : .•; .•: - `_': -;' :; f: - 'i' • 'i= - '� :'s Fi 42 ; f. _ - g• �}= " '+ '� — :�: = ' f'°''" ';: " � �l � � - ' : .r . �� �� NOTE: Cl�k for lerel�ss tn aN di�.
