This will be used for bonding the panels together 2 Page 1 STEP 1 PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS This cover housing consists of: Tools & Materials required Side panels, black Drain retainer, black Corrugated drain, white Box Ends, black Wood alignment blocks Tek Screws Plastic panel "H" clip strips Empty bottle for MEK catalyst Cordless drill Measuring tape and marker Level Reciprocal or circular saw Duct tape Rubber mallet MEK catalyst 2" wood screws Site Requirements prior installation Excavate drive end extension 36" beyond track (water) line. [. . . ] Apply MEK catalyst to all areas. Page 3 STEP 2 ASSEMBLY OF THE RECESS HOUSING Fig. 7 With all side panels secured with the plastic "H" clips and MEK use duct tape to seal each seam as shown in Fig. 7. Fig. 8a To prepare to install the end panel of the recess, invert the housing as shown in Fig 8a. Fig. The bell end of the drain pipe should extend beyond the end panel on the side where you will achieve positive drainage. Once the sectional recess box is assembled, it is ready to be attached to the pool panel. With the supplied screws, attach recess box through the front lip of the box and into the top of the pool panel as shown in Fig. 9b. The drive end must be 30" beyond track (water) line and non-drive 12" beyond track (water) line. It is a good time now, to support the under side of the recess box with back fill. Prior to final backfilling, make sure the drain is connected and the 2" chase for the hydraulic hoses have been installed. 6 Page 5 STEP 4 STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND DECK FORMING 2 End Blocks Center Block Fig. 10 There are two end blocks and a varying amount of center blocks; this is dependent on the length of the cover recess. With the end blocks in place, insert the 2" x 4" as shown in Fig. If you are using boards that are not the full length, it is important to stager the boards. With both 2" x 4" supports in place, insert the center blocks divided equally by the length. Example: A recess of 24' would have three center supports @ 6' on center. 7 Page 6 STEP 4 STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND DECK FORMING Fig. 14c As shown in the sequence above, secure the support blocks by driving a wood screw from the outside of the box and into each block support. [. . . ] 16a shows the rear form-board being secured to the end block support. Fig. The front form-board will need to be notched to accommodate any pre-installed track. With all of the form-boards in place, install a minimum 2" long screw, at 12" intervals, along the entire external lip of the housing. These screws will lock into the concrete, and prevent the sides from deflecting inward. [. . . ]
