SECTION 12: FITTING FACE PLATES
STEP 1: AFTER 6" OF WATER HAS COVERED THE WADING PART OF THE POOL, TURN THE
VACUUM OFF, REMOVE THE HOSE, AND INSERT THE LINER BACK IN PLACE.
STEP 2: WHEN THE WATER LEVEL REACHES TWO INCHES BELOW THE RETURN FI'ITING,
THE PACE PLATES SHOULD BE INSTALLED. SEE FIGURE 23. THE SAME PROCEDURE IS
FOLLOWED FOR THE SKIMMER AND RETURN FITTINGS. FEEL THROUGH THE LINER TO
LOCATE THE TWO (2) SCREW HEADS THAT HOLD THE FITTING TO THE POOL WALL. FIND
THE HOLE ADJACENT TO THIS SCREW HEAD. YOU MAY USE THE FACE PLATE GASKET TO
ASSIST IN LOCATING THESE HOLES. CAREFULLY PIERCE A HOLE IN THE LINER AT THE
CENTER OF THE FACE PLATE AND GASKET AND ALIGN THEM WITH THE POOL WALL SO
THAT THE TWO (2) SCREWS THAT HOLD THE FITTING TO THE POOL WALL FIT INTO THE
RECESSES IN THE BACK OF THE FACE PLATE AND GASKET. INSTALL A SCREW IN THE
ONE (l) PIERCED HOLE (DO NOT TIGHTEN), AND MAKE SURE THE FACE PLATE IS ALIGNED
PROPERLY WITH THE FITTING.
USING THE FACE PLATE AS A GUIDE, PIERCE THE HOLES ONE AT A TIME AND
INSERT A SCREW IN EACH HOLE AS IT IS PIERCED. TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS EVENLY, BEING
CAREFUL THAT THE SCREWDRIVER DOES NOT SLIP AND DAMAGE THE LINER.
WHEN THE FACE PLATES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, CUT OUT THE INSIDE OPENINGS, USING A
SHARP RAZOR KNIFE.
NOTE: DO NOT CUT THE LINER OUT OF THE FITTING UNTIL ALL THE PLUMBING IS HOOKED UP.
