9. Position the long wall top rails so they are leaning over the short wall top rails. Installed the corner joints (8) at 4 corners (see drawing 9).

10. Assemble the ladder. The ladder has separate assembly instructions in the ladder box.

11. Place the assembled ladder over one of the sides with one of the liner installation team members entering the pool to smooth out all bottom liner wrinkles. While inside the pool this team member checks the 2 drain valves (in corners) to be sure the inside drain plug is inserted into the valve. This team member pushes each inside corner in an outward direction. 12. Before filling the pool with water, ensure that the drain plug inside the pool is closed and that the drain cap on the outside is screwed on tightly. Fill the pool with no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Check to see whether the water is level. IMPORTANT: If the water in the pool flows to one side, the pool is not completely level. Setting up the pool on unleveled ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in the sidewall material to bulge. If the pool is not completely level, you must drain the pool, level the area and re-fill the pool. Smooth out the remaining wrinkles (from inside pool) by pushing out where the pool floor and pool sides meet. Or (from outside pool) reach under the side of the pool, grasp the pool floor and pull it out. If the ground cloth is causing the wrinkles, have 2 persons pull from either side to remove all wrinkles.

13. Fill the pool with water up to just below the sleeve line. (see drawing 10).

14. Posting aquatic safety signs Select a highly visible area near the pool to post the Danger No Diving or Jumping sign included later in this manual.

IMPORTANTBefore allowing anyone to use the pool, hold a family meeting. Establish a set of rules that include, at a minimum, the important safety rules and general aquatic safety information in this manual. Review these rules on a regular basis and with all users of the pool, including guests.
