Ladder Rails & Grab Rails to Flume
1. Slide acrylic escutcheon (looks like a doughnut –
it’s used to cover the ladder flange and hardware
at the base of the ladder) over the open rail end.
Installed correctly it will cover the flanged end of
the rail.
2. Attach soft vinyl rail caps over the open end of
the ladder rail.
3. Lift the flume up to its upright finished position
and align the holes of the rail underneath the
holes in the seat area of the flume. Use 3/8” X 3”
bolts with washer inserted from the bottom up to
attach rail to flume and to the grab rail placed on
top of the flume holes. Note: Straight to bend
portion of the grab rail is closest to the ladder end.
The angle bend is closest to the flume. Secure
with a 9/16” wrench.
4. Repeat steps 1- 3 for other ladder rail to flume to
grab rail assembly.
5. Install the ladder treads using the special curved
head bolts inserted from the outer edge of the
ladder rails through the underside of the treads.
Use washer and nut combination to secure with
½’ open-end wrench. Note: because the ladder
rails are angled there is a correct way to install the
treads so they are parallel with the deck when
installed. Please be sure to check this before
tightening hardware.
