Exit height must be between 7" [180mm] and 15" [380mm] from finish grade for slides with an elevation
greater than 48". For slide elevations no greater than 48", the exit height shall be no greater than 11".
(A) Use liquid thread lock (such as Loctite
®
) with all threaded hardware. Important: Liquid thread lock (prior to
curing) helps to eliminate the common problem of "thread seizure" in stainless steel hardware by serving as a
lubricant during assembly.
(B) Do not pour concrete until the equipment is completely assembled, leveled and plumbed. Concrete must be
allowed to cure completely before using the equipment (at least 72 hours).
(C) Refer to Installation Manual for 1316 Twister Entry Panel, 1317 Triple Twister Entry Panel assembly
instructions or corresponding theme panel assembly instructions .
(D) Use appropriate compliant protective surfacing and adjust footing depths accordingly. See free publication -
