If the pool itself is not straight, this will also cause the shutter covers slats to be out of line. If this is the case, unrolling will equally cause friction with pool wall with the shutter cover. This causes the layers of slats to be out of line. Incorrect positioning will provoke the incorrect rolling of the cover. The straps should be fitted in their respective supports which can be adjusted in relation to the shutter cover. The first module of the slats is equipped with weaved nylon straps 50mm wide. Once the shutter cover has been assembled, it should be fixed to the rolling axis. To simplify assembly, the slats should be placed, by module, on water.įixation of the shutter cover on the axis This module should be positioned at the extremity of the shutter cover which is opposite to the rolling axis.
