ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ON DECK MOUNTING
(FOR IN-DECK MOUNTING PROCEED TO STEP 19)
14) Bond slide per local codes (see ELECTRICAL BONDING page 18).
15) Place a deck anchor flange over each end of the slide legs.
16) Using the four holes on each flange as a template (see Figure 11 below), mark the location of
each hole on the deck, Next, drill a 5/16" (7.9 mm) diameter by 1-7/8" deep hole at each
marked location. CAUTION: Do not drill holes larger than 5/16" (7.9 mm). Maintain drill hole
straight and perpendicular for proper holding strength of anchor stud.
17) Raise the flange up the leg and secure in place while using a hammer to drive the (#28) 5/16"-
18UNC x 2-3/4" Anchor Stud, with a (#28) 5/16" Hex Nut on top, into the hole leaving 7/8 of an
inch (22.2 mm) of the stud above the deck. Then tighten the nut until it is flush with the deck.
Then, tighten the nut approximately
three turns to set the anchor stud.
Finally, remove the nuts.
18) Secure the four flanges with (#28)
5/16" Flat Washers, (#31) 5/16" Lock
Washers and the (#28) 5/16"–18UNC
Hex Nuts.
19) Using the center holes on each
ladder foot as templates, mark the
hole locations on the deck. Next,
drill holes 5/16" (22.2 mm) diameter
by 2-1/4 inches (57.1 mm) deep and
secure (#28) Anchor Studs as
described in 3 & 4 above.
20) Secure the two ladder feet with (#28) 5/16" Flat Washers, (#31) lock washers, and the (#28) hex
nuts. Be sure that the ladder maintains 15 degrees (0.26 radians) from vertical.
21) Drill a 1/4" (6.3 mm) diameter hole into the slide leg through the 3/8" (9.5 mm) diameter hole
in the flange. Insert the (#30) 3/8" O.D. Aluminum Bushing into the hole in the deck flange and
push in until it contacts the slide leg. Now insert the (#27) 1/4"-20UNC x 2-3/4" Hex Head Cap
Screws and (#25) 1/4" x 5/8" Flat Washers through the bushing and in about a 1/2" (12.7 mm)
into the hole in the slide leg. With the cap screw in position, drill a 1/4" hole into the slide leg
through the 5/16" (7.9 mm) diameter hole in the opposite side of the deck flange. Take care
