Concrete Wedge Anchor Mounting Instructions - S.R.Smith TURBOTWISTER Assembly And Installation Instructions Manual

CONCRETE WEDGE ANCHOR MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Position the assembled slide on the deck relative to the pool wall. Ensure that the exit flume clears
any coping. Slide may be angled slightly providing all dimensions are maintained as noted in the
"Manufacturer's Placement Instructions" noted on pages 22 and 23.
2. The TurboTwister slide must be anchored into a concrete pad that is a minimum of 4" thick. If
installing the slide on a paver deck, refer to S.R. Smith instruction 06-520 "Installation Instructions
for Paver Decks".
3. With the slide in its proper location, center punch or otherwise mark through the (8) mounting holes at
the bottom of the Ladder and Pedestal so that a visible mark is apparent on the concrete.
4. In order to protect the slide from being damaged by the drill bit, move the slide aside before drilling
the holes into the concrete deck.
5. Using a power drill and a 1/2"Ø concrete drill bit, drill the holes to a depth of 4". Use tape or a
marking on the drill bit to ensure that the hole for the anchor is drilled to the required depth. Keep the
drill straight and perpendicular to the deck surface while drilling in order to maintain proper holding
strength of the concrete wedge anchors (12).
6. Clear the newly drilled holes of all debris.
7. Move the slide back over the holes. Assemble the Wedge Anchor Stud (12) with the Wedge Anchor
Hex Nut (12) and the Wedge Anchor Flat Washer (12) so that the top of the Wedge Anchor Hex Nut
(12) is flush with the top of the Wedge Anchor Stud (12), and insert the assembled Wedge Anchors
(12) into the slide's mounting holes as shown in Figure O.
