8) Drill a 1/4" diameter hole into the slide leg through the 3/8" 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" 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" diameter hole in the opposite side of the deck
flange. Take care not to run the drill bit into the 1/4" bolt. Push the cap screw
completely through the slide leg. Install the (#25) 1/4" x 5/8" Flat Washers and (#26)
1/4"-20UNC Hex Lock Nuts (see Figure 25).
MANUFACTURER'S PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1) The critical dimensions for placement of the slide are as shown in Figures 26 and 27.
A. The slide exit runway surface shall not exceed twenty inches (20") above the
water surface and not less than eight inches (8") above the deck/coping surface
(see Figure 26).
B. The slide shall be positioned so that all water flowing off the runway exit drops
into the pool.
C. The minimum depth of water below the exit lip of the slide shall be three feet (3')
and increases to four feet six inches (4'-6") at Pt. A which is a distance of four
feet six inches (4'-6") from the exit lip of the slide. (See Figure 26).
D. A minimum depth of four feet six inches (4'-6") shall be maintained at a distance
of nine feet (9') along the extended centerline of the slide from Pt.A. (See Figure
26).
2) A minimum clearance area in front of the slide shall be
maintained away from the coping, another slide, a diving board or a
rope and float line. (See Figure 29)
A. The minimum clearance distance on either side of the
extended centerline of the slide runway shall not be less
than three feet six inches (3'-6") at a point no less than two
feet six inches (2'-6") from the exit of the slide and extending
