FASTLANE SWIM UNIT ASSEMBLY

Verify that all items have arrived.
NOTE: If using a power drill, do NOT over
tighten the screws, as this will strip the thread in the PVC of the Fastlane
Swim Unit.

Carefully unpack the Swim Unit Housing, Swim Unit Base and its components from
boxes 11, 12 and 14 as noted above. Remove and verify all hardware kits from
inside. Close the boxes and flip them upside down on the ground to use as a
workbench or collapse the boxes and use as a smooth surface to protect the
components from scratching.

Turn the Swim Unit Housing upside down on the box or another smooth surface.
Remove the block of wood by removing the screws that attach the wood to the Swim

secure the throat. Set the throat and the screws aside to be used in Step 13.

hydraulic hoses that come pre-attached to the Swim Unit Base to each side so that
they are out of the way. Flip the Swim Unit Housing over and set on top of the Swim
Unit Base. Secure the Swim Unit Base to the Swim Unit Housing by using six (6) of
the 3/4” stainless steel screws provided (three screws on each side.
NOTE: Do not
over-tighten.

through the turning vanes. Install the grab rail using six (6) 3/4” stainless steel
screws and the six (6) 10-32 stainless steel lock nuts provided. Secure the bond
