Installation
Attach the Angle Pivot Plates to each side of the Step Assembly
using the hardware provided in the holes it was shipped in; top
four (4) holes in the Runners. Make sure the warning labels are
facing outward. The screw heads should be on the outside and
the washers and nylon locking nuts should be on the inside of
the assembly. Tighten securely. Attach the Pivot Mounts to the
Angle Pivot Plates using the
Slic Pins™ and
washers. The Pivot
Mounts can be mounted on the inside or the outside of the
plates (inside shown). The pins should be inserted through the
side plates first, then the pivot mounts, and finally the washers.
Make sure the pins are inserted all the way so that the plunger
on the Slic Pin is raised and restraining the washer. To remove
the assembly, depress the pin plungers and remove the pins
and washers from the pivot mounts.
Determine the desired mounting location. Position the assembly so that the 90 degree corner of the Angle
Pivot Plates is close to the platform edge or inside pool edge. (Contact is not required.) At least 8
”
of the
Angle Pivot Plates should be resting on the deck or pool surround. Mark the location of the four (4)
mounting holes in the Pivot Mounts on the mounting surface. Mounting options include 5/16" through
bolts, lag screws, tapped inserts or threaded anchor studs. Secure using stainless steel hardware (not
provided) to prevent corrosion. Ensure the step assembly is not twisted and is at approximately a 45 degree
angle (steps level). Test the assembly for stability before allowing your dog to use. It is recommended that
someone be in the water adjacent to the assembly during the first few times the dog uses them. Never let
your dog swim unsupervised.
