STEP NINE:
Anchoring the Slide to the Deck
Position the assembled slide on the deck in its correct and final position, then ensure that
the long and short legs are plumb by checking each leg with a bubble level on two sides at
90˚ to each other. Then utilizing a slope finder, ensure that the Ladder is at a 16˚ slope
from vertical as shown in Diagram C on page 4. Once the legs and ladder are correctly
installed, then tighten the nuts on the leg receivers and feet.
Next, recheck the alignment of the sliding surface, if necessary, loosen the flume nuts and
gently adjust for a smooth, even sliding surface. Once aligned correctly, retighten the flange
nuts in an alternating pattern until the nuts are uniformly tightened and the flume gaskets
are fully compressed.
Do not over tighten.
Now that the slide is in its correct and final position, the 2 legs are plumb, and the ladder
is at 16˚ slope, use the feet as a template to carefully mark the locations for all the anchor
bolts. Since it is not possible to drill the anchor bolt holes with the slide in place, gently
move the slide to one side allowing sufficient room to drill the anchor bolt holes. Anchor
bolts are in Hardware Kit XS-104-SS.
TIP:
Be careful when drilling the holes for the anchor bolts so as not to drill completely
through the deck. It is also
very important
not to drill too deep. The bolt holes must be
drilled to the proper depth so that 1” of the anchor bolts extend above the deck.
Gently reposition the slide. Position feet over the anchor bolts, then tighten the anchor bolt
nuts. Check and retighten
ALL SLIDE CONNECTIONS
at this time.
Anchor Bolts must extend 1” above
deck. Holes may be drilled in place
for vertical legs, but holes for the
slanted step support, must be
marked, and drilled after slide is
moved slightly to the side.

STEP TEN:
Connect the Water Supply System
Connect the bottom 1” PVC Flex Pipe to the customer installed water stub-up, as necessary.
It is recommended that the provided in-line valve be installed between the slide and the water
source so that the water flow can be adjusted as necessary.
Connect the opt 1” PVC Flex Hose to the factory installed female adapter attached to the
underside of the entry section. Use customer supplied PVC primer and glue.
