one of the adjustable braces on
the side of the ladder so that
it rests on the top of the pool.
Secure the adjustable brace to
the ladder with two #10 x 1-1/4”
screws. Repeat for other brace.
WARNING! Using
a corded drill near

electrocution.
Using the braces as locators (or the deck
platform), drill two 9/32” holes through the
pool top seat. Be careful not to damage
liner or pool wall. Fasten the ladder to the
pool top using the two 1/4-20 x 2-1/4”
bolts, washers and hex nuts.

must be fastened to the top of the pool.
MAINTENANCE: Check the cable
lock for proper operation and lubricate if
necessary.

ladder will not cause any damage. Replace
the plugs so they won’t get lost. To reinstall,
see installation instructions Step 12: Placing
the ladder in pool, page 3.
