If any of the riser tube
s
in a Swim Joy
panel
should become damaged for any reason, it can be repaired using the
(2-3020-02
9
) repair tool ki
t
. The repair tool kit consists of a 1/4” repair chisel,
plug
insert
ion
tool, and
repair plugs.
Follow
these
instructions for repair:
Utilizing the repair chisel, cut the damaged riser as close as possible to the header carefully avoiding
damaging adjacent rise
r tube
. (The sloped side of the chisel should face away from the header).
Spray the shaft of the insert tool and the rubber insert with silicone spray. Insert the
tip of the insertion
tool into
the
plug
. By holding the
plug
with one hand and the insert tool with the other, gently stretch the
plug
. As you do,
push the
plug
all of the way into the header’s opening. Stretching the
plug
first allows for easier insertion into the
header.
Pull out the insert
ion
tool. Using your fingers or channel-lock pliers, push a poly
insert into the
plug
as far as you
can.
