Before beginning the wall installation, you may remove a bottom rail to cart in sand or sifted soil for the pool cove, as long
as your curved sides remain staked in position (make sure you return the bottom rail to its position). In this step, you will use
the wall carton as a base to unravel the pool wall. While hiding the wall joints behind an upright, we recommend that you place
the skimmer and return at one of the four corners of the round section of the pool.
In any case, the wall joints must be on one of the curved ends of the pool and not on a straight side. Unravel the wall a little
at a time, inserting into the bottom rails as you go. Do not unravel the entire wall at once, for this will make installation difficult.
Note that there are no bottom rails along the straight sides of the pool. The wall will rest flush against the hold down plates until
the wall reaches the next curved section, where it is re-inserted into the bottom rail. As you unravel the wall you may temporarily
install inner stabilizer rails, or use landscaping stakes, to keep the wall in place.
If the side wall appears too long or too short, make the curved sides larger or smaller by equally sliding the bottom rails in
or out of the bottom plates, and then double check the length of the straight sides. If the ground is uneven, the wall may jump
out of the groove in the bottom rails. Correct this condition if it happens.

IMPORTANT-This operation must be done carefully! When joining the sidewall, make sure that the pre-attached
aluminum strips do not touch each other. One bar must be inside of the pool (the bolts will touch this bar), and one
bar must be outside of the pool (the nuts must touch this bar). Insert the bolts with the bolt head to the inside and
the nuts to the outside of the pool. Do not tighten until all bolts have been inserted. If your screwdriver slips and
scratches the head of the bolt, file the scratch smooth so that it cannot cut the liner. It is recommended that you
cover the heads of the bolts on the wall with three layers of duct tape. If the insertion of the sidewall in the bottom rail
is tight at the point where the wall is joined together, insert a screwdriver and twist to make enough room, being sure
not to scratch the wall or bottom rails.
REMEMBER: ALL HOLES AND
BOLTS MUST BE USED! USE
ALL HOLES IN WALL BAR!
EACH HOLE MUST HAVE A
BOLT AND A NUT. NUTS
MUST BE AS TIGHT AS POS-
SIBLE USING HAND TOOLS.
BARS MUST NOT TOUCH
EACH OTHER. IF THIS IS
DONE INCORRECTLY, YOUR
POOL WILL BREAK!
