Step 1:
Insert Installation Rod through retaining ring on
end of spring (see Figure 9)
Step 2:
Place heel of rod behind anchor bolt. Pull rod handle
away form cover edge, until retaining ring on spring
slides over anchor bolt (see Figure 10).
Step 3:
Rotate rod until heel is free from anchor bolt. Cover
is now secured to anchor.
New mesh covers tend to shrink in
their cartons. By compressing spring almost totally
(at least 85-90%) during the initial installation,
you will ensure that the cover will stretch back to
its normal size. It is also recommended that the springs
be retightened 2 to 3 weeks after inital installation
to ensure that they remain approximately 70-75% compressed
at all times.
Due to the very minimal stretch of the solid
cover material, inital spring compression for these
covers should be set to approximately 60%, When equipped
with drain panels, spring tension adjustments may
be necessary to promoteproper drainage. To maintain
safety, any standing water must be pumped off immediately.
