5. Positioning Your Solar Reel:
For Rectangular pools, place Wheels at either end of pool.
For Irregular shaped pools, place Wheels at some convenient midway point. You will need to
fold Blanket and allow Blanket to unwind in two directions. (See Illustrations below)
6. 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 Wheels! The cover will unroll left and right of Wheels & 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 Illustrations above)
• With scissors trim blanket to fit shape of pool. Be sure to clear pool edge coping.

2.745" and 2.920", the smaller size nesting into the larger size. The 12' and 20' Tube Kits
Begin and End with Small Tubes therefore requiring Small Tube Plugs at either end. The 16' Tube Kit
Begins with a Small Tube and Ends with a Large Tube therefore requiring a Small Tube Plug at one
end and a Large Tube Plug at the other end. The Large Tube Plug is self-alligning. The Small Tube
Plug Requires CAREFUL ALIGNMENT! (See Illustration Below For Proper Plug Insertion)
