Lay stringer on flat surface with indentations to accept treads/risers facing up (as shown above in
“Parts”). Fit single bottom riser into bottom indentation (2.1) & snap into place making certain the button
lock tab of riser passes through hole in stringer. Fit top tread into top indentation (2.2) & snap into place.
Fold tread-riser & fit into indentations above single riser (2.3). Make certain when folding that the anti­skid surface is facing upwards (2.6). Repeat for remaining two tread-risers (2.4) making certain all
button lock tabs protrude & lock in place (2.7). Place opposite stringer on top of treads-risers (2.5)
aligning indentations in stringer & button lock tabs with holes in stringer. Snap stringer in place locking
all tabs. Double check to make certain ALL tabs protrude through holes & lock in place.

together as shown in 3.3, 3.4 & 3.5. Align bolt holes and secure using 1" bolts,
washers both sides and nuts . Tighten all hardware. Repeat for both sets of upper

Identify top platform, and with anti-skid surface facing up, fit handrail pairs through platform as shown in 4.1 - 4.3. Repeat for
both sets of upper handrail pairs on both sides of top platform. NOTE
on the same side of the top platform (Detail 4.3 - 4.5) as they are used for the step portion of the entry (to connect the lower
handrails). Fit assembled handrail pairs & platform into top openings of assembled step and ladder section as shown in Detail

4.5. Make certain the correct handrail fits into the appropriate hole in the step assembly and ladder. Note that the ladder has a
slight angle when fitting the handrails into the open sockets (see Detail 4.6). The ladder section will angle out, away from step
at bottom. This will make your ladder section inside the pool easier to climb. The ends of the handrails fit tightly into the open­ings at the top of each stringer and the ladder section. Make certain to push them all the way down into the opening until they
bottom out. FOR THE STEP PORTION ONLY
both handrails fitting into the step. Tighten hardware. DO NOT FASTEN HANDRAILS & LADDER SECTION UNTIL STEP 7.

FOR THE STEP PORTION ONLY, align bolt holes & secure using 3/4" bolt, washers on both sides & nut. Repeat for

inside the three bolt flanges on the stringers and inside the
bolt flanges on the upper handrails (see 5.3 - 5.5). When on
the inside of the tab on upper handrail, the upper & lower
handrails will be perfectly in line (see 5.6). Align holes and
fasten using a 3/4" bolt, washers both sides and nut at all four
locations. Tighten all hardware.
