Step 7
Place the assembled unit on
the deck near the pool. Note
that there are two sets of
handrail posts-one set 36-1/4"
long and one set 43-1/2" long.
Also note that the inside ends
of each handrail post are
formed differently - the "top"
end is H-shaped inside to
accept the ends of the
handrails and the opposite
end is the "plain end" (the end
to be inserted into the side
panels). Spray the "plain ends"
of all four handrail posts with
liquid soap or spray lubricant.
Top End – accepts the
ends of handrails..
Plain End – coat outside
of end with liquid soap
or spray lubricant.

If you are assembling this unit for use with an
enclosure kit or SIG system do not attach the mounting brackets.
Affix the "No diving" labels as indicated in step 9 below and
continue to step 10.
Step 9
Spray the inside opening of
the mounting brackets with
liquid soap or spray
lubricant and slide a
mounting bracket over each
of the two higher handrail
posts so that they extend
out away from the steps.
Affix the two "No jumping –
No diving" stickers to the
upper end of one of the
handrail posts, one facing
the pool and one facing
away from the pool.

If you are assembling this unit for use with an
enclosure kit or SIG system refer to the instructions supplied with
the kit. Do not attach the handrails to the posts as described below.

IMPORTANT: To prevent floating
you MUST do the following: Pour
about 10 pounds of dry sand into
each of the four openings indicated
above. Shake unit to distribute the
sand evenly. Adding water may also
help to distribute the sand.
Slide mounting

Step 10
Two people are needed
for this step
Carefully place the assembled unit into the pool and tip it 45°
to the left, right and forward to fill steps with water. Repeat if
steps continue to float
Step 12 Position the unit, between upright posts of the
pool, so that the handrail posts are as close as
possible to the pool top seat. Slide the mounting brackets down until
they reach the deck surface. Fasten to the deck surface by drilling two
1/8" pilot holes, using the preformed holes in the mounting brackets as
guides. If the bracket is
not long enough to reach
the deck surface it will be
necessary to extend that
part of the deck surface
so that the brackets can
be fastened down.
Secure with two #10 x
1-1/4" screws per
bracket. After fastening
the unit to the deck
secure the brackets to
the handrail posts using
one #10 x 1-1/4" screw
per bracket.
Note: After assembly you
will have two extra #10 x
1-1/4" screws.
