10.2 Auto-Shutoff Amp Limiter Adjustment
(See checklist at front of manual for your included
features.)
WARNING
Never attempt any adjustment to electrical components
without first turning off the circuit breaker providing power
to the cover.
The auto-shutoff amp limit board has LED lights to
facilitate installation and diagnostics. The board also
has an adjustable amp limit feature. The amp limit
feature stops the cover by sensing the amperage
draw to the motor. If the cover runs into an obstacle
or resistance (i.e. water on the cover, dirt or
contamination in the tracks, or something damaged
on the system) during the cover or uncover cycle,
the amp limit feature will sense the additional load
and shut off the motor.
If the cover frequently stops during operation, and
there is very little or no water on the cover, then call
your local cover technician to adjust the amp limiter.
Section 11. Inspection Procedure for
Wear and Deterioration
You should thoroughly inspect the components of
your automatic cover least two to three times a year.
11.1 Vinyl Cover
The vinyl cover material is constructed with a tough
combination of vinyl and a polyester mesh.
Inspect the vinyl: Over the years, depending on
your cover's exposure to chemicals, heat, and sun,
the vinyl will become brittle and eventually begin
to crack. When this occurs the polyester mesh will
be exposed and begin to change the capability of
your cover to hold weight. Inspection for this kind of
deterioration should begin with an examination for
leaks. If you have leaks:
1. Patch the hole immediately.
2. Check the area around the hole to see if it has
become brittle or stiffer than the rest of the cover.
Any change in the feel of the vinyl where it begins
to seem brittle or stiff can indicate a problem.
3. If the normal square pattern you see in your cover
changes so that the mesh pattern appears to be
more pronounced than the other parts of the cover,
it could indicate that the vinyl is becoming weak.
4. In areas where your cover is pulled over your
deck or coping it is possible to gradually wear the
vinyl away from the reinforcing mesh. Once the
mesh is exposed it can begin to deteriorate or
break. Have the cover repaired immediately.
Inspect the sewing: Inspect the sewing where the
vinyl is attached to the webbing (edging) along the
side of your cover by your tracks. If any threads are
broken or if the webbing has begun to tear or fray,
the strength of your cover will be compromised.
Have the cover repaired immediately if you notice
this problem.
11.2 Cover Track
Since your track is the main means of anchoring
your cover to your pool, inspection of the fasteners
used to hold your track to the pool sides is as
important as inspecting the cover. Make sure that
all screws are tight and replaced if missing. Some
track is contained in a channel with shims. Be sure
to replace missing shims. The channel or opening
that your webbing slides in can wear over the years.
If you feel there is marked difference in any of
these items, please contact your pool cover service
technician immediately for a detailed inspection.
Section 12. Emergency Procedures
NOTE: Manually covering or uncovering the pool requires
two people.
12.1 Manually Cover the Pool
1. Remove the bolt from the coupler (#080027) or
the motor side of the slip clutch, whichever you
have.
2. Pull a few feet of rope from the rope reels. Pull
ropes equally on either side until the cover is in
place.
NOTE: To accomplish this, it may be necessary to
remove the lid and unroll the fabric a little
manually before pulling it into the track.
