ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR IN-DECK MOUNTING
1) Place the slide runway upside down on a surface that will not scratch the slide.
2) Open the ladder and parts carton and locate the ladder and the 4 legs.
3) Insert the top of the slide ladder all the way into the two sockets in the slide.
NOTE: The top of the ladder is the end with the side rails cut square. See
Figure 7.
4) Insert the slide legs into the leg sockets of the slide. The shorter legs go into the
sockets on the inside curve of the slide. Be sure to insert the end of the legs that
do not have the pre-drilled holes into the leg sockets. Do not attach the legs
permanently at this point. See Figure 8.
Figure 8
Figure 7

5) Carefully turn the slide with the legs and ladder upright for setup. It will be
necessary for two people to perform this to avoid damage to the slide and the
legs. If necessary use something such as tape to temporarily hold the legs in
place while turning the slide over.
6) Place the slide at the desired location relative to the pool wall. See
MANUFACTURER’S PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS on pages 18 & 19.
7) Ensure that the exit runway surface does not exceed 20 inches above the water
surface, nor less than 8 inches above the deck/coping surface (see Figure 26 on
page 18). The exit runway surface is measured at the point of transition between
the runway and the beginning of the exit end radius.
8) Ensure that the ladder is not twisted relative to the slide.
9) Insert 3/8” diameter rebar (not provided) into the holes located at the bottom of
each leg making sure that the rebar will be a minimum of three inches (3”) below
the deck surface.
10) Install electrical bonding as local code specifies (see
ELECTRICAL BONDING page
20).
11) Secure the ladder so that the ladder steps are level, from side to side, and the
ladder is slopped 15 degrees from vertical.
12) Apply a small amount of silicon sealant to the male thread side of the (#1) PVC
90° Elbow. Thread the elbow into the fitting in the bottom of the slide as shown
below. Tighten until the elbow is snug and in the orientation shown in Figure 9.

21) To secure the ladder to the slide screw into the previously drilled holes (one per
side rail) a (#11) 5/16” x 1” lag screw, a (#12) 5/16” x 7/8” flat washer and a (#13)
5/16” x 3/4" rubber washer tightening to 8 ft.-lbs of torque. See Figure 20.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Figure 20
22) Level as close as possible the exit runway surface horizontally from side to side,
approximately 9” up from the exit end, using a small level as shown in Figure 21.
Figure 21
14
23) If necessary the legs can be adjusted up and down within the leg sockets to help
adjust for level. Once the slide is properly leveled the legs shall be permanently
attached by drilling a 1/4" hole into each leg using the hole on the leg socket as a
guide and fastening with a (#10) 5/16” Hex Head Washer Tek Head Screw. See
Figure 22.
Figure 22
24) Disassemble each handrail as shown in Figure 23. Insert the two handrails into
the holes on the top of the slide runway rails, and secure each using a (#21) Flat
Washer, a (#19) Lock Washer, and a (#20) Hex Nut.
25) Starting with the top handrail spacer, align the top hole in the handrail with the
top hole in the ladder side rail. Next, assemble the handrail spacer parts (#16),
(#17) and (#18) in the order shown in Figure 23 and align it between the handrail
and ladder top holes. Next, insert the (#15) 1/4-20 x 8” Carriage Bolt through the
handrail and the handrail spacer parts. The (#9) Ladder spacer is to be placed in
between the front and back sides of the ladder side rail such that the (#15)
Carriage Bolt holds it in place after it is pushed completely through the ladder
side rail, see Figure 24. Secure the (#15) Carriage bolt using a (#21) Flat
Washer, a (#19) Lock Washer, and a (#20) Hex Nut in the order shown in Figure
23. Finally, place a (#6) Vinyl Bolt Cap over the exposed threaded end of the
bolt.
26) For the remaining two ladder spacer s, align parts (#16), (#17) and (#18)
between the hole in the handrail and the hole in the ladder as in step 24. Use a
(#14) 1/4-20 x 6” Carriage Bolt along with a (#21) Flat Washer, a (#19) Lock
Washer, and a (#20) Hex Nut to fasten the parts together as shown in Figures 23
and 24. Again, place a (#6) Vinyl Bolt Cap over the exposed threaded ends of
the bolts.

27) After connecting the water hose to ladder water connection, turn on water slowly to
check for leaks.
28) Secure the slide, so that it will not move during the concrete pour, to ensure that the
settings remain the same.
29) SUGGESTION: To ensure easy removal of concrete from legs and ladder, wax or
wrap with wax paper approximately 12 inches above deck level.
30) Proceed with pouring the concrete deck and finish as desired. Let concrete cure 24
hours before using slide.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLUSH DECK MOUNTING
The following instructions are for mounting a slide on an existing deck.
1) Follow the steps listed on the previous page for in-deck mounting, as they are the
same with the exception of the attachment of the deck anchor flanges. NOTE: Rebar
will not be used.
2) Place a deck anchor flange over each end of the slide legs.
3) Using the four holes on each flange as a template (see Figure 25 below), drill four
5/16” holes per flange 1-3/8” deep. CAUTION: Do not drill holes larger than 5/16”.
Maintain drill hole straight and perpendicular for proper holding strength of anchor
stud.
4) Raise the flange up the leg and secure in place while using a hammer to drive the
(#28) 5/16”-18UNC x 2-1/4” Anchor Stud, with a (#28) 5/16” Hex Nut on top, into the
hole leaving 7/8 of an inch of the stud above the deck. Then tighten the nut until it is
flush with the deck. Then, tighten the nut approximately three turns to set the anchor
stud. Finally, remove the nuts.
5) Secure the four flanges with (#28)
5/16” Flat Washers, (#31) 5/16" Lock
Washers and the (#28) 5/16"–18UNC
Hex Nuts.
6) Using the two holes on each ladder
feet as templates, drill holes 5/16"
diameter by 1-3/4 inches deep and
secure (#28) Anchor Studs as
described in 3 & 4 above.
7) Secure the two ladder feet with (#28)
5/16” Flat Washers, (#31) lock
washers, and the (#28) hex nuts. Be
sure that the ladder maintains 15
degrees from vertical.
Figure 25
17
8) Drill a 1/4" diameter hole into the slide leg through the 3/8” diameter hole in the
flange. Insert the (#30) 3/8” O.D. Aluminum Bushing into the hole in the deck flange
and push in until it contacts the slide leg. Now insert the (#27) 1/4"-20UNC x 2-3/4”
Hex Head Cap Screws and (#25) 1/4" x 5/8” Flat Washers through the bushing and in
about a 1/2" into the hole in the slide leg. With the cap screw in position, drill a 1/4"
hole into the slide leg through the 5/16” diameter hole in the opposite side of the deck
flange. Take care not to run the drill bit into the 1/4" bolt. Push the cap screw
completely through the slide leg. Install the (#25) 1/4" x 5/8” Flat Washers and (#26)
1/4"-20UNC Hex Lock Nuts (see Figure 25).
