LEFT CURVE FOOTPRINT
The purpose of this footprint is to serve as a GUIDELINE ONLY for approximate
placement of the slide relative to the pool’s edge. The actual dimensions after
installation may vary according to the slope of the deck and the angle that the slide is
oriented relative to the pool wall. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS AS PRINTED IN THIS MANUAL.
RIGHT CURVE FOOTPRINT
The purpose of this footprint is to serve
as a GUIDELINE ONLY for approximate
placement of the slide relative to the
pool’s edge.
The actual dimensions after installation
may vary according to the slope of the
deck and the angle that the slide is
oriented relative to the pool wall.
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AS
PRINTED IN THIS MANUAL.
LEFT CURVE SLIDE WITH FLUSH DECK MOUNTING
The purpose of this side view is to serve as a
GUIDELINE ONLY for approximate placement of
the slide relative to the deck. The actual
dimensions after installation may vary
according to the slope of the deck and
the angle that the slide is oriented
relative to the pool wall. When installing
the slide in the deck, these dimensions
will be reduced by at least 3-1/8 inches.
HEIGHT ABOVE DECK LEVEL OF: LEFT CURVE RIGHT CURVE
(A) Bottom of first ladder step: 11-1/2” 11-5/8”
(B) Top runway surface: 78-3/8” 78-1/2”
(C) Top runway side rail: 83-3/4” 83-3/4”
(D) Top of handrail: 94-3/4” 94-3/4”
(E) Exit runway surface: 12-7/8” 14”
(F) Bottom of slide at exit end: 11-1/8” 11-7/8”
NOTE: All dimensions are
measured from the left side of
the ladder foot (0”, 0”)

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.

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.

13) Apply PVC glue to the male slip end of the (#7) PVC Thread Adapter and insert
into one side of the (#3) PVC Union. Be sure to push the thread adapter as far
as it will go into the union. See Figure 10.
14) Apply a small amount of silicon sealant to the male thread side of the (#3) PVC
Union. Thread the PVC Union into the elbow from step 12 and hand tighten until
snug. See Figure 11.

15) Apply PVC glue to the inside of the slip end of the PVC Union. Insert the (#8)
PVC Spa Hose into the union as shown below in Figure 12.
16) Use a drill with a Phillips bit to fasten the (#4) Plastic Pipe Clamp to the ladder
as shown below in Figure 13a. The hose clamp should be attached with the
clamp aligned with the bottom of the step, See Figure 13b. Place (#6) Vinyl Cap
over visible portion of screw. Repeat this step for each tread on ladder.
