Here are some very important details concerning the installation of
JetSlide systems for PWC and boats:
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GUIDELINES TO BE FOLLOWED AND
RESPECTED. CANDOCK IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER,
RESULTING OF THE NON COMPLIANCE OF THESE GUIDELINES.
All distributors are held responsible for giving training to their customers on
the complete use of the system (theoretical and practical) with the watercraft
of their customer. Candock Inc. will not be held responsible for any damages
resulting from the fact that the operator did not receive the adequate training.
With the numerous varieties of boats on the market, it is possible that
certain types will not be compatible with our system. Candock Inc. cannot be
held responsible for this fact. It is impossible for us to be able to test all the
existing types of boats in the world.
Never use the JETSLIDE without adding cubes on its outskirt. ALWAYS abide
to the suggested number of cubes, for any system inclduing a JETSLIDE. For
example, if we specify that a system "x" requires a single row of cube on the
outskirt of the JETSLIDE, this guidance must be followed to ensure optimal
efficiency of the system. The only place where you can add “unnecessary”
cubes is "in front" of the JETSLIDE and cubes that surround it.

G2 JETSLIDE ( SEQUENCE )
ASSEMBLY
TIPS:
-Assemble on a flat surface rather than water. It will be easier that
way.
- Assemble the cubes around the JetSlide. If you attach it to a dock,
make sure the plugs are facing the SAME DIRECTION. If your JetSlide
is an independent unit, black plugs must be oriented toward the front
of your unit.
PROCEDURE:
1-Place CANDOCK SPACERS before inserting the connecting pins.
When the cubes are put together, the tabs will nest on top of each other .
The tabs are numbered from 1 to 4 for the regular G2 CUBES ( “1” being
the lowest and “4” the highest). The JETSLIDE’s tabs (# “0”) are placed
just below the tab #1 of the cubes. You must insert spacers at the right
positions to generate the equivalent of 4 tabs on top of the JETSLIDE’s
tabs.
2-Insert spacers as you position the G2 CUBES around JETSLIDE.
3-Insert G2 CONNECTING PINS and Initiate the screwing process
by hand. This will prevent pre-mature wear and tear..
4-When the pins are properly inserted, proceed by screwing manually
and/or mechanically with our pre-destined tools. Either the
KEY FOR G2 PIN “COMBO PACK” or the regular G2 KEY FOR PINS.
5-Make sure to securely tight the G2 CONNECTING PINS until snug,
without over tightening them
4) In POSITION , the connecting pins require a
CANDOCK SLIDING NUTS
because the JETSLIDE has no threaded tab at those corners.
Place a CANDOCK SLIDING NUT on the lowest tab available.
5) Install the exterior CANDOCK LUG CONNECTORS + NUTS assembly
around the JETSLIDE systemand screw them using the proper tool.
Note: Usually, you should never have more than 2 tabs or more than 2
CANDOCK SPACERS to install.

G2 JETSLIDE ( SEQUENCE )
OPERATING A WATER-CRAFT WITH THE JETSLIDE
GOING UP THE SYSTEM ( BOAT AND/OR PWC )
PWC: Approach the JetSlide at idle, keeping the craft straight and centred with the JetSlide. When the bow of the craft will be in contact
with the JetSlide, give small throttle strokes that will make the craft align with the JetSlide. When the craft is in line with the JetSlide,
throttle in slowly. After a few tries, you will rapidly develop a feel of how much throttle you have to use to reach final position on
the JetSlide
BOAT: engine must be trimmed down fully during the entering procedures and the depth of water at the back of the system
must be 3' /1m minimum at all time to avoid damage to the boat. Increase throttle power until the boat is fully up on the system.
When the engine gets in contact with the JetSlide, you will feel the craft stopping. You must immediately throttle down. This
indicates that the craft is at final resting position. Entering the unit at high speed may damage the unit. We recommend, at first, that
you try at slow speeds until you reach the correct speed. If the boat gets on the system but is not all the way in, you can continue
throttling progressively until the boat reaches final resting position. Be careful, boarding at high speed can be dangerous.
NOTE: It is recommended to secure the craft to a cleat in order to prevent the craft from sliding back into the water accidentally. The
craft can be locked to the JetSlide with a chain when you are not using it. Ask your dealer for details.
GOING DOWN THE SYSTEM
PWC:To go back into the water, take a standing position on your PWC and generate a backward movement by using your lower back
and arms, pumping backwards rapidly until the PWC starts sliding back into the water. The procedure is easier when the PWC is wet.
You can also stand up at the back of your PWC, grab the handle of the seat and transfer your weight back. The easiest way to return
to water is to keep the front of the PWC in one hand and the handle of the other and then push gently. Be vigilant, because at some
point, your PWC will start to go down by itself. At this point, you will have to get on it if you do not want your watercraft in the water
without you.
BOAT: For a boat, put the engine in reverse and increase throttle until craft starts to go down by itself. It helps if you wet the system,
especially if the boat was not used for a couple of days. It might be necessary to give a good throttle stroke to start the movement
and then throttle down. For a Jet boat, the air assisted system will be required, no matter the weight of the boat.
WARNINGS & SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1- Like all JetSlide installations, the system should not be installed in areas subject to waves of more than 0.75m / 2ft regularly.
We recommend an installation in a protected area.
2-The installation of multiple PWC JetSlides side to side is possible, but a minimum of 2 rows of cubes is suggested between each
JetSlide. An installation with only one row is possible, but there is a risk of damaging the machines and, therefore, the resulting damages
will not be covered by the manufacturers warranty. Contact Candock for more information.
3-The handling of several JetSlides assembled in series by lifting (for winterizing by using a crane for example) is strictly forbidden.
The excessive inflections will break the tabs of the JetSlide and the resulting damage will not be covered by the warranty. Contact
Candock for more information.
4-The depth of water at the back of the system must be 1m / 3' minimum at all time to avoid damage to the boats.
5-Riveted hulls can damage the JetSlide. ”Step hull” crafts are not suggested if used on a double JETSLIDE configuration.
6-Surface can be slippery when the system is wet.
7-The capacity of the JetSlide may change depending on the type of assembly, accessories and according to the weight distribution
of the engines within the the watercraft.

G2 JETSLIDE ( SEQUENCE )
WARNINGS & SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
8-Please note that some boats have cooling intakes for the engine which are located directly on the boats hull .These intakes need to be
under the water line mark when the engine is running. CANDOCK INC. WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR ANY TYPE OF
DAMAGE TO A BOAT RESULTING FROM THIS. IT IS THE RESPONSABILITY OF THE DISTRIBUTOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS
VERIFIED BEFORE SELLING THE INSTALLATION TO THE CLIENT. We recommend that you inform your clients of that even if you are
sure that the intake will be in the water.
9-The fact of removing cubes at the back of the system to lower the back of the system closer to the water could exert excessive
pressure on the back tabs of the Jetslide and may cause damage which will not be covered by the warranty.
10-All distributors are held responsible for giving training to the customers on the complete use of the system, theoretical and practical
with the watercraft of the customer. Candock Inc. will not be held responsible for any damages resulting from the fact that the operator
did not receive the adequate training.
11-The boats and personnal water crafts must be completely mounted on the Jetslide at all time. A craft left on the Jetslide in a position
where the major part of the weight is left on the back, could exert excessive pressure on the back tabs of the Jetslide and may cause
damage which will not be covered by the warranty.
12-The installation of multiple BOAT Jetslides side to side is possible, but no rows of cubes should be removed with the aim of saving
space. Moreover the totality of the back Jetslide must be left free to be able to go up and down. Therefore, it must not be connected to
the adjacent systems.
13-It is normal that a certain wear of the JetSlide appears at the points of contact where the boat exerts more pressure.
14-All Jetslides produced after the November 1st, 2009 are now filled with foam making them unsinkable.
15-We make a point of specifying that any damages caused by the keel of motors or the propellers will not be covered by our warranty.
16-All systems destined for boats of more than 3000lbs/1360kgs ( propeller or turbine powered) require the air assisted system
NOTE: In certain cases, a winch can be necessary to push the boat back in the water. This may void the neccessity of the air
assisted system. Any damage resulting from non-utilization of this winch will not be covered by the warranty.
(see specific instructions)
17-Stiffening beams may be required for your configuration, any damages resulting from non-utilization will not be covered by the
warranty. (see specific instructions)*Only the bams provided by Candock inc. are approved.
18-With the numerous varieties of boats on the market, it is possible that certain types will not be compatible with our system. Candock
Inc. cannot be held responsible for this fact. It is impossible for us to be able to test all the existing types of boats in the world.

MINIMUM WATER DEPTH FOR SAFE OPERATION: 4 FEET
2-RIGID TANK INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1-Start by connecting one of the white threaded elbowed hose to the tank.
*Mandatory Teflon tape is to be wrapped around the PVC threaded fitting prior screwing it in place.
**Make sure to screw the hose in the brass insert that will be towards the front of the system, on the appropriate side of the system, according to where the
Control Box will be positioned ( left or right ).
***Manually tight the fitting until snug, without exaggerating. Make sure that the hose tip will point towards the front of the system when the tank will
be in its final position.
**** The brass insert (2) that will not be used must be plugged using the white plug supplied. Install following the same instruction as for the
elbowed hose.
2-Tie a lifeline to the tank and simply drag it in the water, in its upright position. The later will
slowly fill itself with water while you continue with the rest of the procedure! Once filled, the
tank’s surface will float right above water so that it will easily be slipped underneath the
dock later on.
