1. For each installation the installer is solely
responsible for evaluating the site and determin-
ing the proper method and equipment to secure
the cover. Some soils require different staking or
securing than that provided with the pool cover.
Due to this variety of soil conditions, the installer
must insure proper anchoring at each anchor
point.
2. This instruction sheet must be used along
with the pool cover installation instruction manual
included with your pool cover.
3. The soil at the installation site of each stake/
ground tube must be capable of allowing the
cover to support the minimum loads of ASTM
F-1346 after installation.
4. Testing of soil conditions and responsibility for
load verifi cation is solely the responsibility of the
installer.
