ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 26 — Access Ladder:
Fasten one Access Bracket to inside of each Ladder Rail
using 1/4 x 1-1/2" Hex Bolt Assemblies as shown at right.
Note: Temporarily place the Slide into position to help judge
the best placement for the Access Ladder. Make sure that all
hardware has room to fit before drilling.
See the standard placement below right.
Lean the Access Ladder against the gym with the Access
Brackets flat against the Platform Front and the lower edge
of the Brackets flush with the lower edge of the Platform
Front.
Drill 5/16" diameter holes through the holes in the Brackets
and through the Platform Front. Secure the Brackets using
1/4 x 1" Hex Bolt Assemblies.

STEP 25 — Access Ladder Rungs & Slat:
Fit four 15" Rungs (AE) into the holes in the Left Ladder Rail
(R) and the Right Ladder Rail (S). Set the assembly flat on a
solid surface. Make sure the rungs are completely inserted
with the ends of the rungs snug against the bottom of the
holes.
Use #10 x 1-1/2" Self-Drilling Screws, through the holes
provided, to fasten the rungs in place. (The Self-Drilling
Screws have a drill-bit tip. Point the screw toward the center
of rung diameter and press firmly. Do not sink the head of the
screw beyond flush with the surface of the wood.
Use four #10 x 1-5/8" Screws to fasten the Ladder Slat (AA)
to the Ladder Rails. The top edge of the Ladder Slat should
be about 2-1/4" below the top of the Ladder Rails as shown.
Make sure the gap between the top Rung and the Ladder
slat is less than 3-1/2"; adjust if necessary. Drill 1/8" diam-
eter pilot holes 1" deep for each #10 x 1-5/8" Screw.
