Climb to the first level and assemble according 

to the plan the access to level 2. Do the same for 
level 3. Platform frames need drilling and 
tapping for rope end flanges and plastic panels. 

16.

 

Build all slides using standard Tunnel slide 
assembly and according to the plan.

 

The orientation of each tunnel section is 
determined using a process referred to as 
“cranking”.  Cranking consists of placing the 
flanges of both sections together with the seams 
of the section to be attached aligned to the 
seams of the previous section, and rotating it either 
clockwise or anti-clockwise by the required number of bolt 
holes in the flanges.  (For example, 3 cranking steps would 
involve rotating the section by 3 bolt holes.)  Note: 
Clockwise is determined while standing on the ground, 
facing the slide up.
