to be drilled in the face of the slide, these are used
for attaching the slide to the transition platform. The
narrow end of the transition platform should be facing
the slide entry and then the top of the platform will rise
up to the small lip located just at the base of the slide
entry. Center the platform on the slide and mark the
four holes. These holes need to be drilled with a 3/4"
drill bit and then the 3/8" toggler bolts will install in
them.
Mark hole location based on footing diagram and dig

a hole 18" in diameter and at least 24" deep (the
deeper the better, slide can be blocked to the
correct height).
Attach the transition deck to the posts, brace up on

at least two other people lower slide into the hole.
Now level the slide front to back and side to side,

•

sometimes this can be difficult to do because of the
variances in the slides so also make sure it "looks"

the guardrails. This will be determined by how much
blocking was needed to raise the slide up.
Begin installing the guard walls by attaching the rails

•

to the slide. Make sure the rails are running in line
with the deck and the end holes on the rails are
about 1-1/2" from the outer edge of the slide.. Mark
the four holes then rotate the rails out from the slide
and drill them with 3/4" drill bit and insert the 3/8"
togglers. Be sure to maintain no more than 3-1/2"
gap between the bottom of the rails and the top of
the transition platform.
Install bolts through the rails and into the slide and

•

tighten all hardware.
Attach the rails to the post using the four 4 hole

•

attachment brackets with gaskets between the
brackets and the posts. Attach the brackets using
the self tapping screws. Make sure to tighten set
screws on the brackets first to keep the brackets
from spinning when attaching to the post.
Install filler angle by marking the hole location which

•

needs to be drilled in the face of the slide, using the
slide filler angle. The filler angle should be positioned
on the inside of the wall so that the gap between the
top of the Guard Wall and the Spiral Slide is
blocked, and the Spiral Slide as well. These holes
need to be drilled with a 3/4" drill bit and then the
3/8" toggler will install in them. Do not over tighten
the toggler for they will break easily.
Once the toggle is installed attach the filler angle

•

using the 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolt with washer. Repeat
this step for the other guard wall as well.
