STEP 9 – PRESSURE PLATE INSTALLATION:
Place one 44" pressure plate on each strap end channel so that the center of the plate is even with the center
of the channel. When installing these plates the corrugation bumps should be up and the flat surface should
be down. One edge has a larger flat surface than the other. The larger flat surface should be closer to the center
of the pool. (See diagram).
The pressure plate must extend past the end of the channel about 1"towards the
center of your pool.
If you have done this correctly the two holes in the center of the pressure plate line up with
the two holes in the center of the strap end channel. Secure the plates to the channels using two #12 X ¾" screws
in each. Once all plates are secured to the channels, the plates should overlap each other. Secure the plates to each
other using three #12 screws in each overlapping area.
