Observe the position of the exit of the slide as shown in FIGURE M, FIGURE N, and FIGURE P on pages 16 and 17. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS When hosing down the deck, hose your Typhoon to wash away any dust, dirt or other debris, which may have accumulated. Be sure that all connections are secure. Tighten hardware if necessary.
Typhoon Assembly Before getting started: • To prevent damage to the parts during assembly, it is recommended that cardboard or some other protective barrier is laid down on the ground where the slide is to be assembled. • Verify that the gasket material is affixed to the slide parts as shown on page 6 •...

Notes: It may take more than one person to perform this step. Verify that the gasket material is properly attached before assembling the parts. Insert the threaded studs into each of the threaded inserts as shown in FIGURE D. The studs should be screwed in by hand until they reach the bottom of the insert.

FIGURE F Before getting started, be sure that the joint surfaces of the top runway and ladder sections are clean and dry. Unroll the gasket material and hold so that that length of the gasket is centered on the center of the ladder joint. With the exposed adhesive side of the gasket facing the ladder joint surface, apply the gasket starting at the center of the part, working outward to the sides.

Attach the pipe clamps to the ladder as shown in FIGURE J, detail B. Use PVC primer and glue to permanently assemble the parts together as in step 11. Glue the top end of the PVC hose into the fitting in the ladder. Use the pipe straps to fasten the ball valve into the ladder recess as shown in FIGURE K, detail A.
ON-DECK MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Place 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 in the following section. 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.
SLIDE PLUMBING INSTRUCTIONS The Typhoon is designed for a water supply line of 1” pipe. Plumb from pool return line with a 1” PVC pipe “stubbed up” at the deck positioned at the base of the ladder. Refer to FIGURE A on page 5.
OPERATION AND TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. 1. The critical dimensions for placement of the Typhoon are as shown in FIGURE M and FIGURE N. A. The slide exit runway surface shall not exceed 20” (508 mm) above the water surface as shown in FIGURE M.
