3 INCH RANGE TUBE KIT ASSEMBLY:
(Cont.)
• Loosely assemble extruded tubes together. Slide excess width into adjoining tubes, dividing it up as equally as possible.
Note: You must have a minimum of 9” of overlap in each tube!
• Measure the width across the pool from plug surface to plug surface & adjust length of the tube assembly to fit the span.
• With tubes on flat surface, lock the tubes together by rotating each adjoining tube in the opposite direction. (See Figure C)
• Secure each tube with just 1 self drilling screw in each adjoining tube.
• Attach the tube assembly into the Crank and Tubing Plugs and check for fit. Assemble Tube assembly together with
Crank Handles and Tube Plugs by lining up hole in the end of each tube fitted into Crank Handle and secure with
metal Axle Bolt and nut provided.
• When all is OK, drill and screw the remaining screws at each end of the overlapped poles. You should have 6 screws on
each tube end where there is a connection.

9. Attach Straps to Tubes:
Come in 6 inches from each tube end and attach a strap plate to the aluminum tube assembly. Use the self drilling screws
on the drill line to attach the plate. Look at the holes that were pre-drilled at the factory and use the same drill line. There
are 6 lines on each tube. Take the remaining strap plates and connect them evenly along the length
of the tube assembly. Attach Straps to strap plate. (See Figure D Above)
10. Attach Solar Blanket to Straps:
If Reel is to be placed at the end of the pool, attach cover to strap plate with plastic screw
