Step 6 Handrail/Deck Supports
Secure each Upper Handrail (E1) to the Lower Handrail (E2) by using the
Handrail Connector (J). Use a #8 x 1" screw to secure the connector to
the lower and upper handrail. To secure your Easy Step to your deck or
pool top seat, be sure to position the Deck Connectors (H) around the
upper handrails prior to inserting the handrails in the step sockets. Insert
the upper and lower handrail assembly into the sockets located on the
top step and third step from the top. Secure the handrails to the side risers
with eight (8) #14 x 1-1/4" screws (N). Screw holes are located on the
outside of the left and right risers.
Step 7 Tread Screws
Notice the four screw locations on the surface of the second tread. Secure
each location with one #8 x 1” screw.
Step 8 Pool Installation
Note: Two (2) people are required for installation.
A total weight of approximately 125 lbs., is required to keep the step from
moving once in place. With the assistance of another person, carefully
place the step into the pool. Place the three Ballast Bags (M) or other
ballast over the Ballast Tray (D) to hold the step into place. Again, with
the assistance of another person, walk back and position the step against
the pool wall to prevent swim behind hazards.
Step 9 Deck Mount Installation
With the step in position close to the pool wall, slide the Deck Connectors
(H) into installation position on either the pool top seat or pool deck.
Secure to the deck with two (2) #8 x 1” screws (N). Use a minimum of
two screws per deck connector. Now secure each Deck Connector (H) to
each Upper Handrail (E1) by using a single #8 x 1” screw as shown.
Note: Before you begin the assembly
of your ladder/step please insure you
have all components and hardware.
