Operating Instructions

The VINGLI Pool Cover Reel is designed for smooth and effortless operation, making pool maintenance simpler.

1. Uncovering the Pool: To remove the solar cover, simply turn the hand crank. The grooved reel tube design ensures the straps do not fall off, allowing the cover to roll up smoothly onto the reel. The wheelbarrow-style maneuverability allows for easy transport of the rolled-up cover away from the pool area.
2. Covering the Pool: To cover the pool, position the reel at one end of the pool. Unroll the cover by pulling it across the water. The design allows for easy unrolling, even by a single person. Ensure the cover is spread evenly across the pool surface.
3. Locking the Reel: The reel features a mechanical lock to secure it in place when not in use, preventing accidental unrolling or movement.
