ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
1. Refer to all detailed diagrams within this instruction for assistance during the assembly & installation of this pool ladder. All ladder parts
are identified by a letter & number which is stamped into each ladder part. Look for these markings to assist proper assembly
2. Fit top platform (E), with anti skid surface facing upward, into handrails (A1 & A2). Gently tap outside of the handrails so the button lock
tabs protrude through and secure platform in place. See Detail 1.1
3. Attach support legs to the handrail sockets (B1 + A1 & B2 + A2). The ends of all support legs have a raised tab that fits into channels
within the handrail sockets (See Detail 1.1 & 1.4). Secure this connection using only 1 H1 bolt, washer and nut as shown in Detail 2.
Repeat for second support leg. Leave bot inside oles ( H2 ) free of ardware until Step # 7 below
4. You will need to measure the depth of your pool to determine the height adjustment of the ladder. The measurement required is
determined from how your pool deck has been built. The deck surface will either be equal to, lower or higher than the top rail of the pool
(See Detail 1.5). Determine which applies. Measure at the point where you plan to position the ladder as the measurements may vary in
your pool. IMPORTANT if the top surface of your pool deck is equal to or lower than the top rail of the pool (Detail 1.5A or 1.5B),
measure the distance from the bottom of the pool to the top of the top rail. ** When the ladder is completely assembled and installed in
the pool, the top platform of the ladder should rest just above the top rail of the pool so that the ladder itself, not the top rail of the pool,
supports the weight load on the ladder. Thus, add @ ½" to your this measurement. If the deck surface is higher than the top rail of the
pool (Detail 1.5C) simply measure from the bottom of the pool to the top deck surface, nothing needs to be added to this measurement
5. Using the above measurement , determine the position of the adjustable base supports (C1 & C2). There are measurement guides
stamped on the outside of both support legs (48" 56") to assist you in setting the base supports to the proper height. Fit the adjustable
base supports over the ends of the support legs (C1 + B1 & C2 + B2) and align the bolt holes according to the desired height, or slightly
greater than. Secure using only 3 H1 bolts, washers & nuts as shown in Detail 3. Leave remaining hole free of hardware (H2) until Step
# 7 below. Repeat for second adjustable base support of ladder
6. Fit pivotal base tread onto button lock tabs of adjustable base supports (D + C1 & C2). Make certain tabs protrude and lock into the
center opening of the channels in the base tread. The base tread is pivotal and can rotate either direction so the ladder will rest evenly
on the bottom of the pool. To prevent liner damage, ensure base tread is securely fastened, has no sharp edges and is free of any
debris. When rotated to the desired location, secure permanently with screw through each end of the tread (see Detail 4)
7. Stand ladder in the upright position. Fit ladder section (F) into assembled frame by sliding it down the channels of the handrail sets (top
to bottom see Detail 5). Ensure anti skid treads are facing upward and safety writing is facing outward. Pull out locking mechanism
(See Detail 2) so the ladder will slide to the very bottom. Secure the ladder section in place using 4 H2 bolts, washers & nuts in the four
locations where hardware was not used above (Step 2, 3 & 5). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THESE CONNECTIONS ARE SECURED AS
IT MAKES THE LADDER VERY STABLE. The ladder will be “locked” in place with bolts and cannot slide
8. Attach ladder flanges to both sides of top platform (G1 + E and G2 + E). Gently tap outside of flanges so the button lock tabs of the
platform protrude through and secure flanges in place. Secure using H1 bolts, washers and nuts, from the inside, as shown in Detail 6
9. The assembly of the ladder is now complete. Ensure all hardware is tightened before securing the ladder in place. Test the ladder in the
pool to determine if the height adjustment is properly set. Alter if required
10. Assemble & install ANTI ENTRAPMENT BARRIER as per attached instruction (following page)
