Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your
judgment and reflexes.
Never use pool alone. All children must be supervised continuously.

be available. It is the pool owners sole responsibility to provide adequate
lighting for pool bottom, safety signs and walkways, which exceeds minimum
standards of the IES of North America.

such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to

DANGEROUS INJURY CAN RESULT-SHALLOW WATER!!! Follow All Safety and Maintenance Instructions Your pool is designed for years of pleasurable, safe family fun.
- Page 2 INTRODUCTION: Congratulations on becoming the owner of a new Sharkline above ground swimming pool. This is the instruction packet for installing your swimming pool. The following are some helpful hints that you should take into consideration before installing your pool.

- Page 4 STEP 1: POOL LOCATION Do not locate pool over underground lines, septic tanks, under electrical lines, near hazardous structures, or out of local code restrictions. It is essential that the area selected for your pool has a level and firm base. Do not assemble your pool on asphalt, tar or oil base surfaces.
- Page 5 STEP 3: BOTTOM RING ASSEMBLY A. Use your pool parts breakdown sheet to separate all pool components, becoming familiar with each part. B. Take the curved bottom rails and place them in a circle along the circumference of the pool area. IMPORTANT: Make sure you are using the bottom rails and not the inner stabilizer bars.
- Page 6 STEP 3: BOTTOM RING ASSEMBLY continued D. Check the roundness of your circle by measuring diameter across in several locations. Since the rails do not automatically form a true circle, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Otherwise, you might end up with a slightly oval shape, which can cause problems later on. Once you have formed a true circle, stake the bottom rails at every other rail with a screwdriver, being careful not to scratch the rails.
- Page 7 STEP 5: PRE-ASSEMBLY This is a good time to start the pre-assembly of the uprights. It is easiest to line all uprights next to each other in a line. It helps to lean them against a fence or some other sturdy object. On most models the top of the uprights can be identified by either an extra hole in the middle, or by an extra hole on each side (depending on which pool you have) for the decorator caps.
- Page 8 STEP 7: WALL JOINT ASSEMBLY We manufacture two different kinds of wall joint assemblies. One has a single row of bolts and the other is a staggered double row pattern. In each case, the aluminum wall bars are not pre-attached. Please check which design your pool has and follow the appropriate instructions below.
- Page 9 STEP 8: UPRIGHT INSTALLATION If you have not done so already, install uprights onto the bottom plates or the bottom cuffs. See appropriate step below for your pool. *Wall joint is hidden behind the upright on most pools. This assures that the skimmer and the skimmer return holes are not obstructed.
- Page 10 STEP 8: UPRIGHT INSTALLATION continued ACCENT CLIP INSTALLATION (Not applicable to all models of pools): Some bottom cuffs and/or uprights have separate accent clips. This is a good time to snap those pieces on if your pool has these. Below are some examples of accent clips. These may be in different locations depending on the model of pool.
- Page 11 STEP 10: LINER INSTALLATION POOL WALL If you opted to use the stabilizers to help hold the wall up, then you will need to take them off while installing the liner. Do not place the liner wall seam directly over the skimmer or skimmer return cutouts. Place the liner at the center of the pool with the flap from the seams facing down.
- Page 12 STEP 11: HANGING LINER continued TYPE # 2 – SNAP BEAD LINER: • With a snap bead liner you will not use the plastic coping strips SNAP BEAD LINER that are packed in the parts carton of many pools. You can discard those pieces (if they are included).
- Page 13 STEP 12: LINER ADJUSTMENT (For Overlap liners ONLY) Once the liner is held securely in place by coping, temporarily pull wrinkles in the floor towards the side wall evenly, leaving the wrinkles at the cove. When the liner is correctly positioned, there must be no air space between the liner and the ground or side wall.

- Page 15 STEP 16: TOP COVER INSTALLATION After all top rails have been installed, tighten all screws and attach the top covers as shown in the appropriate diagram for your pool. ONE PIECE RESIN CLIP-ON COVER: 2 PC RESIN TOP COVER: This installation requires no hardware. Simply hook the back end of the Center small half over hole in the top plate as shown and attach with top cover into place, and use your fingers or a screwdriver to gently flex a #12 screw.
- Page 17 Important Winter Rules After your pool has been winterized and all steps carefully followed, the following checks and procedures must be strictly followed during fall, winter, and spring seasons. Your pool warranty will be invalid if pool has been improperly winterized and the following procedures not strictly adhered to. Pools that have been incorrectly winterized have been known to collapse under the tremendous pressures exerted by ice and snow.
