ST�P 15 - PRE�'ARING THE COVE: Using neutcal alkalinity sifted earth or fine sand without pebbles, build a 2" base over the entire pool azea to . protect the liner. Make sure that the straps and the pressure plates are covered e;ntirely. If the base does not fully cover the metal conaponents, they will show tlzraugh aad w2ll damage the liner. If using vermiculite or foam base, you must have at least two inches of soil or sand on top of the straps and pressure pla�es. Vermiculite alone will not properly cover these metal components, possibly allowing damage to the liner. Do not use any substance with high alkaline or acid content, such as peat moss. It will cause the pool to corrode. Fig. 50 Next, using sif�ed earth or fine sand, build a 6" to 8" pool cove inside �T� the me�al wall along the entire circumference. The cove will prevent the � liner from creeping under the wall and will also protect the liner from w W� any metat corners of the pool framework. THIS STEP IS NOT '� �� OPTTONAL — IT MUST BE DONE! Since eaith containing chemicals r r-�"F' -' can ca.use discolaration or corrosion, it is suggested that you place �.� � y�; 8 ,. polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove atou� �e perimeter of the �' x wall, so no earth comes in contact with the metal. Since the presence of �' �: `. ��- ,, such checnicals is beyond i�e control of the manufactiu�er, such daniage ��' is not covered by t11e wananty. The plastic sheeting will not prevent a �� :� ,�-•. washout in the event that your liner is dawaged. The plastic is only to � s� protect the metal framework of the pool from corrosion After t�e cove and base are m place, rake and tamp the entire pool azea. Make sure that no sand remains m� the wall above the cove. This could cause pinholes in your liner. Fig. 51 "�P 1.�6 — CURVED END UPRIGHT ASSEMBLY: Top Plate It is easiest to line up all of the uprights next to each other. � , It helps to lean them up against a fence or some other sturdy " �' objec�. On most models, the top of the upright can be determin� '°� by either an extra hole in the center, or an extra hole on each side (depending on wluch model pool you have} for the decorator caps. Place the metal top plate on the upright making sure fihat the holes P� �'�� line up and the hooked part of the plate is facing the open side of screw of the upright Now screw only the center hole using a#14 x'/2' top plate in screw. Do not screw the two side holes until later. This will make things easier and more efficient down the line. Upright Now is the time to install the fence post holders onto the uprights if you have a fence for the pool. Please see separate fence instructions for details on doing this. Insta.11 uprights on curved ends, refer to the appropriate step below for your particular pool.
