1. This CONVERSION KIT is to be used with / for Model SLA a-frame ladder ONLY. The conversion kit is used to convert the a-frame
ladder into Model SLI in-pool deck ladder for use with / on a pool deck
2. If you have already built your pool deck it would be wise to read ALL the instructions contained within to better familiarize yourself with
the proper and intended use of these products. It may help in designing your deck if it has not yet been built for proper fit & function
3. This instruction assumes that the a-frame ladder is already assembled and has been used with your pool. If this is not the case, please
go directly to the assembly instructions for Model SLI in-pool deck ladder (later pages included)
4. Refer to Detail 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 (ladder parts, hardware parts and finished appearance) for assistance during the assembly / disassembly
5. Disconnect both sides of the handrail sets A1+A2 by loosening the three (3) H1 bolts, washers and nuts on each side (see Detail 2). Set
this hardware aside for later use / requirements
6. GENTLY, using a flat head screwdriver, pry the handrails for the EXTERIOR PORTION of the ladder from the top platform (A1 and A2
from platform E). The exterior portion of the a-frame ladder is the side that "slides" up and down and locks (portion used outside the
pool) - (see Detail 3). It is important to be gentle as not to break the locking tabs that hold these in place. It is easiest to pry from the
bottom, on the underside of the top platform E (see Detail 4). Repeat for both sides of the exterior portion only
7. Once separated, snap the in-pool ladder flanges (G1 and G2), packaged with the conversion kit, to the top platform where you had just
removed the A1 and A2 handrails. NOTE: the G1 gets placed where the A1 was removed and the G2 gets placed where the A2 was
removed. Make certain the button-lock tabs on the sides of platform E protrude through the flanges and lock securely in place. Secure
using H1 bolts, washers and nuts for both G1 and G2 flanges (see Detail 5)
8. To ensure the top platform E does not come apart from the remaining handrails, predrill a 1/8" pilot hole and secure using the 3/4"
screws provided. Repeat at four (4) locations (see Detail 6)
9. Once you have completed Step 8, please refer to Model SLI instructions included )following pages). This instruction will outline the
proper assembly and use of your desired in-pool deck ladder
10. NOTE: additional / extra hardware has been included for your use. Some hardware may be remaining / left over as some hardware
would have been removed from the a-frame ladder
11. It is important to follow all instructions closely and do not deviate from them - serious personal injury may result. Please
review all safety instructions and proper use with all individuals using this pool ladder to prevent possible injury
