optional). If using the OPT12V optional light with this step note proper position-
1
ing / location of this special tread-riser (2.2). The light should be placed in the
second riser down from the top of the step, below
stringer on flat surface with indentations to accept treads/risers facing up (as
shown above in "Parts"). Fit single bottom riser, with warning signs facing
2
forward, into bottom indentation (2.3) & snap into place making certain the button
lock tab of the riser passes through hole in stringer. Fit top tread, with anti-skid
surface facing upwards, into top indentation (2.4) & snap into place. Fold tread-
riser & fit into indentations above single riser (2.5). Make certain when folding
3
that the anti-skid surface is facing upwards (2.8). Repeat for remaining two tread-
risers - remember position of special tread (2.6 & 2.2) making certain all button
lock tabs protrude & lock in place (2.9). Place opposite stringer on top of treads-
4 risers (2.7) aligning indentations in stringer & button lock tabs with holes in
stringer. Snap stringer in place locking all tabs. Repeat for both sides of entry
Step 3 - - - - Add Weight to Stringers Step 3 Step 3 Step 3
This entry requires additional weight for ballast & to prevent the unit from
floating. The top portion of the stringers are open, exposing the inside
cavity (3.1 & 3.2). This cavity is sealed and is designed to hold material for
weight. Put approximately ten pounds (10 lbs) of coarse
into both the left & right stringer of ONE SIDE
give the fully assembled system the required stability within the pool
water. Additional weight can be added if desired or if you find the system
requires greater stability. IMPORTANT - Remember which half has the
weight as you will require for Step 5 to follow
