With the gate closed, position the latch plate so the latch rides over the lower edge of opening and drops
down and hooks. Try opening/closing gate several times while holding latch plate in place. Reposition if nec-
essary. Gate MUST latch when closed. Center the screw hole in latch plate over the mold line on ladder rail,
mark position hole and drill through one side only of ladder handrail using 5/16" drill bit. DO NOT DRILL ALL
THE WAY THROUGH LADDER RAIL.
WARNING! Using a corded drill near pool may result in electrocution.
To properly align the outer hole in the ladder rail tightly wrap a piece of paper around the rail so the bottom
edge of paper bisects the centerline of drilled hole. Mark location where edge of paper bisects mold line on
front of rail and drill using 5/16" drill.
Push ¼-20 x 2-1/4 bolt through hole from front side of ladder, place hinge plate with ¼- 20 hex nut over bolt
and tighten. Thread the ¼ plastic acorn nut onto the end of the bolt.
WARNING! Gate must be latched at all times and locked when pool is not in use
