Determine the best location for the reel system.
The widest point of the pool is the preferred locations (see Fig. 1 below).
Small cover extensions may be folded in to avoid using a wider reel.
At the determined location, measure the width of the pool and add 6“ (15 cm).
Ensure minimum of each end tube is inside center tube (see table below right).
Less than minimum insert causes screws to loosen and/or tubes to split.
Insert both end tubes equal distance into center tube
and mark on center tube where inner tubes end
