Xpress
Step
For Ease of Installation, Do Not Install the Step Until All
Other Installation Is Complete.
The
Xpress
Step™ is designed to make the
complete installation more aesthetically pleasing as
well affording a degree of additional protection when
boarding or disembarking the Jet Ski by covering the
hardware used to mount the port to the dock. It is
recommended that one or more of the vertical poles
from the installation be long enough to create a
handle to assist boarding and disembarking; oval
apertures are molded in the step to facilitate this
feature.
Attachment fasteners are not provided with the step
because of the various materials and dock designs that are in use. The illustrations show a
step being mounted to a wooden dock using lag bolts. It may be necessary to use different
fasteners depending on the individual dock.
The dock should be sound and flat, especially where the step is to mounted. If the dock
material is compromised in any way, adequate methods of attachment need to be employed,
for instance through bolting with plates on the back of the dock material.
Note: If you installing other accessories, although not critical, it may be useful to leave the
step installation until finished.
Installation
Install the Port using the methods described on the instructions accompanying the port for
either front or side mount.
