Safe Installation
To reduce the risk of electrocution, drowning, entrapment, falls, or other
serious injury or death:
Check building codes/permitting. Consult your local Building Department before installation of your pool
and equipment. Pool/equipment installation must comply with the codes of the authority having jurisdiction
and may require permits (e.g., building, plumbing, electrical, zoning, etc.).
Use for intended purpose only
• Use only as swimming pool stairs.
• These steps are designed and manufactured for a specic pool wall height and/or deck of the pool -
check product specication and the height of your pool.
Check that you have all required parts. Check the contents of the carton with the Parts list for this step
system. All parts and hardware are required. If any parts are missing, DO NOT attempt to assemble or
install the steps. Instead, call Toll Free U.S. - 800-635-3213 or visit our web site at www.conferladders.
com for assistance.
Select an appropriate location - The step system must be located on a solid base.
Follow all instructions
• For stable, correct assembly and installation, all instructions must be followed completely and in the
sequence shown.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe use of all hand tools and equipment used
during installation.
Cordless drill only - no corded drills near pool. Use a cordless drill for assembly and installation. To
reduce the risk of electrocution, NEVER use a corded drill in or around a pool.
Lift safely. When lifting awkward or heavy loads, have another person help you.
Double check after installation
• Before using the product, after assembly and installation, go over the instructions and procedures again
to make sure nothing has been overlooked.
• Make sure that safety labels are installed and legible.

TO WINTERIZE YOUR POOL
We suggest removing your Confer-Step from the pool for the off-season months.
WARNING! Pool step will be heavy and must be lifted from within the pool. Have additional help when removing from
swimming pool. Do not attempt to remove by yourself.
If your Confer-Step is attached to a deck: Two people are required for this operation and it is best to remove the unit while the
water is still warm enough so that one person can get into the pool. Disconnect the mounting brackets from the deck. The per-
son in the water can lift the unit up while the person on the deck helps to pull and guide the unit onto the deck. After the unit is
on the deck, and the water has drained out of the steps, lay the unit on it’s back side so that most of the water drains from the
side panels.
If getting into the water is not an option the unit can be removed by both people standing on the deck and lifting and tilting the
unit to drain some of the water from the steps. After the unit is light enough carefully lift it from the pool. Caution: Use care
when lifting the unit. It will weigh at least 130 lbs.
If you have the Confer-Step Enclosure System or Connector System: disconnect the two units by removing the center platform/
side rail assembly at the top of the steps.
WARNING! Do not stand on the top step of the outside unit as it may tip.
Lift up the unit inside the pool and tilt it so that water drains out of the steps. Once it is light enough carefully lift it over the side
of the pool, lay the unit on it’s back side and allow most of the water to drain from the side panels.
The Confer-Step can be covered, if desired, and stored outdoors.
Safe Use
To reduce the risk of drowning, entrapment, falls, paralysis, electrocution, or
other serious injury or death:
Use step system properly.
• No diving or jumping from steps - shallow water; risk of paralysis or death.
• ONE PERSON ON THE LADDER/STAIR AT A TIME.
• Illuminate the steps when using the pool at night.
Weight limit - 400 lbs maximum. Exceeding maximum weight may cause the stairs to fail.
Secure stairs when not in use. When pool is not in use, make sure gate is closed and locked.
Watch children at all times when they are in or around water to help prevent drowning.
