These are the installation guidelines to follow if setting up the slide
from the deployment deck.

1. Tie the ropes to the inflatable rings provided for future lashing back 
to the ship. These ropes will be easier to reach during inflation. 

Refer

to the anchoring instructions for clarification.

2. The body will weigh about 150 kg, so some strong crew members should 
handle it. Use a crane if available. Otherwise, use the lifting rings that
are provided on the front and back of the slide. 

NEVER USE THE 

ANCHORING RINGS TO EVER LIFT THE SLIDE. THIS MAY DAMAGE
THE SLIDE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

3. Try to straighten out the body on board as much as possible prior to 
putting it over the side of the ship.

6. The end of the body with the steps (entry) on it will stay on the deck 
and will sit on the railing, or other pre-determined location in
the design phase of the slide. The other end (exit) should be fed over
the side of the ship. Tie ropes to the lifting rings on the front of the slide 
to assist in lowering the slide down to the water.

7. Attach ropes on right and left side of the bottom of the transition
that you’re lowering into the water. Use the closest ring to the slide 
body to make the connection. The other ring is used to
lash back to the ship. 

8. 

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE CARABINERS ARE SCREWED

CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.

 When packing away, keep them closed to 

prevent loss. 

9. Inflate the body. Never let the air pump run unsupervised. Continue
to check air pressure with provided digital pressure gauge until
it reads .08 psi. There is a PRV thatactivates when the pressure 
exceeds 0.8 psi.

10. Inflate the side arms. Each side arm has an inflation valve on
the end of the arm located at the entry of the slide. The arms DO
NOT have PRVs, so be careful not to over inflate them. They
should be inflated to 1.0 psi and should feel very firm when full.

Read and familiarize yourself with all of the

instructions prior to starting the installation.
