INSTALLING
1) When fastening the springs, the brass anchor inserts should be in the open position (opened
approximately 1/2”). The end of the spring is approximately 1’-5” from the end of the pool cover
to allow for spring tensioning when securing to the brass anchor. Slide the spring onto the end of
the spring tool until it is approximately 6” up the end of the spring tool. Leverage the spring tool
onto the insert and push the spring down into position with your shoe (never use your hand).
With the spring over the insert, pull the spring tool out. If there is too much tension on the web
and spring, loosen the web strap and follow the fastening procedures again
