Cleaning

The Life Saver Pool Fence requires little maintenance under normal usage.

It can withstand the harshest Midwest winters.

All parts are powder coated or stainless steel to keep your fence looking as good as the day it was installed.

will be able to get near the pool with out their parents.

Cleaning Instructions:

Spray the fence down with a water hose. A power washer may be used for heavy dirt or build-up. If using a power washer, stay at least 2 feet away from the fence at all times.
Release the tension on the fence by unlatching the latches on each section. Tip: undo one end of the latch with thumb, then squeeze the top of the end poles together with palms.
Section by section and pole by pole, lift the poles out of the holes (twist and pull up) an inch or so and spray out the holes with a water hose. This will remove any dirt or debris lodged in the holes.
If borders are showing heavy dirt build up, wipe them down with a rag and silicon or vinyl lubricant. Do not use Armor All products as they are designed to break down material if they are not used frequently.
Reinsert the section of clean fence back into the deck sleeves.

Disassembly Instructions:

Release the tension on the fence by unlatching the latches on each section.
Section by section and pole by pole, lift the poles out of the holes by twisting and pulling up on the poles. If sticking occurs, wipe the ends of the poles off and lubricate with WD-40 or silicon as needed.
Roll each section up and store as desired.

Assembly Instructions:

Section by section and pole by pole, insert the tip of the first pole into the corresponding hole. Do not jam the pole into the hole.
Find the angle of the hole with the pole by rotating the pole in the hole.
Once the angle has been found, push the pole forward (along the fence line) and down into the hole in a single motion. Repeat on all poles on all sections.
Latch the system together.

Gate Assembly Instructions:

Orient and align the gate to posts to their proper position.
Find the angle of the hole and press into the hole and once the angle has been found, push the post forward and down into the hole.
Latch the system together.

Self-Closing Gate Adjustments
(Should be done every time fence is removed and checked periodically)

Your new Life Saver Self-Closing Gate comes equipped with built
in adjustments as follows:

Tru-Close Hinges- To adjust, simply remove with a phillips head screw driver, the caps on the top of each hinge. Then using a broad tip flat head screwdriver, insert into slot depress and turn towards plus sign to close faster or minus sign to close slower. Make sure that after you depress and turn, the adjustment pops back up and locks into a different position.

Striker Body (located on the gate frame)- To adjust, locate silver screw in center side of striker body. Using a phillips head screw driver simply turn clock-wise or counter clock-wise to slide striker body horizontally either left or right. Make sure the striker body centers up with the center of the latch body.

Latch Body (located on the locking post)- To adjust, simply remove locking screw (using a phillips head screw driver) located at the bottom of the latch body. Now you can slide the latch body either up or down for vertical adjustment. Once adjusted replace locking screw.

Troubleshooting Guide

I can’t remove the pole from the deck insert?
Are you trying to remove the pole properly? The fence works on tension. There is a linear force being exerted on the fence at all times. To remove pole properly you must place one hand on the top of the pole and one hand mid way down the pole. Next using your body weight and not your arm strength lean on the pole until it is vertical in the deck sleeve. You will know you are leaning on the pole correctly when the space between the deck sleeve and the bottom of the pole is equal all the way around. While leaning on the pole correctly pull straight up. This should be one complete motion. If this does not work do the same motion while twisting the pole. If this continues to happen you need to follow cleaning instructions or unlock the latch at both ends of section then try to remove pole properly.

I can’t put the pole back into the deck insert?
First follow cleaning instructions for pole and deck sleeve. If the pole still will not go in make sure that you are not trying to enter the hole straight on. Always have a slight tilt on the pole in order to align pole to hole.

The fence is loose?
Make sure all latches are securely locked together and all poles are inserted fully into the deck sleeves.
You should never hang anything from the fence. This includes wet towels.

The bottom border of my fence is losing the poly-vinyl coating?
Check to make sure your landscaper is not hitting the fence with a weed whacker.

I am noticing holes in my fence?
Check to make sure your landscaper is not leaning on the fence and burning holes in it with the hot muffler on the blower pack.

I can’t open the gate section of the fence?
Make sure that the eyelets are facing directly outwards. Next grab the top of one pole locking the pole between your thumb and your palm to prevent the turning of eyelets. Now squeeze the poles together so that the latch is floating between the two eyelets. You can now release the latch and pull one side of latch free from the one eyelet. Proceed to remove pole from ground correctly to open gate section.

I can’t close the gate section?
Turn poles so that the eyelets are facing directly outwards. Next grab the top of one pole locking the pole between your thumb and your palm to prevent the turning of eyelets. Lean that pole (using your body weight) towards the opposing pole until you can grab the opposing pole with your hand. Squeeze poles together until latch can reach opposing eyelet. Pull latch back and loop through eyelet. Let go of release on latch to lock sections together.
