Use
It is highly recommended that you train your dog in shallow water where you can stand to the side as your dog gets used
to WAG Boarding Steps. Do not operate your boat with the unit mounted and periodically check for damage to the
equipment and/or your boat. Remember, WAG Boarding Steps are for
dog use only
.
Storage
With the desired strut location and hook orientation determined, you can remove and store your WAG Boarding Steps
without having to repeat the initial setup. To remove, loosen the hook female knobs and pivot them open. Lift the
assembly off the boat. Pivot the hooks all the way in and tighten the hooks for storage. Remove one of the strut female
knobs and male knobs on each side. Loosen the remaining strut female knobs and allow each strut to pivot parallel to
the runners. Make sure the female knob is loose enough to allow both rubber bumpers to rest against the runners.
Tighten the knobs to hold the struts in the storage and transport position, but do not tighten to the point of deflecting
the runners. Reinstall the removed male and female knobs in the holes they came out of and tighten for storage. Your
particular setup will determine which is the best male knob to pivot the strut on. This storage procedure will make it
easy for you to remember what mounting holes worked best for your installation.
Care and Maintenance
Your new WAG Boarding Steps are constructed from high-quality materials that should provide years of enjoyment.
•
All of the fasteners are stainless steel or aluminum. Check for loose or missing fasteners prior to use and tighten
or replace as necessary.
•
The metal parts are anodized or powder-coated aluminum extrusions which offer excellent stiffness for their
weight. Periodically check for bent or cracked parts and replace as necessary.
•
The plastic parts are formulated for outdoor use and have good impact resistance. Periodically check for
cracked parts and replace as necessary.
•
Floatation material should be replaced immediately if damaged or missing. If your dog's nails tend to push the
floatation material out of the pockets, it can be secured with a couple of drops of adhesive.
To keep your WAG Boarding Steps looking new, rinse after every use. If necessary, a mild household cleaner or vehicle
wash can be used. Do not store your WAG Boarding Steps in direct sunlight or in extreme temperatures.
