STEP EIGHT: Final slide position - CONTINUED
When checking for the correct flume angle keep the below in mind:
Fig. 18
Fig. 19
• Each slide section is identified on the underside.
• The exit section starts at 15° on the up slope end which then makes a gradual
transition to level toward the exit point.
• The up and down wedges are 15°, but transition in slope and cannot be checked
for slope
• The curved sections are either 15° or 30°
• The 2.5’ and 5’ straight sections do not have a slope, but slope relative to the
section above such as: flat (0°), 15° or 30°
• The entry section seating area is almost flat, however, for proper drainage it
incorporates a slight downhill slope which transitions to a full 15°. To ensure
correct placement of the entry section the trim line along the bottom edge of
the outside wall was made level. If properly installed the bottom edge of the outside
wall of the entry section will be level. (Fig. 18)
The sides of the flumes should be checked for level as well. The only place along the flume
where level positions can be determined is at the flange/gasket locations. Place level across
the flume at the flume joint as illustrated. (Fig. 19) Check each flange location for level position,
adjust as necessary.

TIPS FOR SETTING THE SLIDE IN FINAL POSITION:
• It may take a series of adjustments to get the slide in its correct position.
• At this point the entire slide should be assembled, anchor supports attached
and all bolts correctly tighten. The slide should be blocked up in its approximate
horizontal and vertical position.
