STEP 5:
PLACING LADDER IN POOL
Tools needed:
garden hose, cordless drill w/Phillips driver 5/16” drill bit,
Phillips screwdriver, pliers
Parts needed:
2 - Angled Stabilizer Rails
8 - #10 x 1- 1/4" Screws
2 - 1/4" Washers

#1:
WARNING!
Verify that
your chosen location is level,
has a solid base, and will be
in full view of competent adult
supervision when in use.
With ROLLGUARD
®
in closed
position, carefully lift the inside
ladder section over the pool wall.
#2: Using garden hose, fill only
the two inside rails with water
through the openings and cap
when full. As the rails are being
filled, the ladder will start to sink.
#3: Tilt the ladder from side
to side to get all the air out of
treads. As the treads fill with
water, the ladder will continue
to sink, this may take several
minutes.
WARNING!
The inside
of the pool ladder must
be positioned as close to
the inside of the pool wall
as possible, this will keep
swimmers from going behind
ladder. Do not leave a large
gap between inside of pool
wall and ladder.
WARNING!
To stabilize your
pool ladder, stabilizer rails must be
installed properly and rest on and
be attached to the pool top ledge.
#5: Position the pool ladder so
that the inside ladder rails are
as close to the inside of the
pool wall as possible. With the
ladder in it’s proper position,
locate one of the pre-drilled
holes in the angled stabilizer
rail that falls to the outside
of the pool wall. Drill a 5/16”
hole through the top ledge of
the pool being careful not to
damage the pool wall or liner.
Fasten the angled stabilizer rail
using 1 - 1/4 - 20 x 2-1/4” pan
head screw, washer, and nut.
Repeat to attach the second
angled support.
