Notes Before You Begin:
Do not over tighten bolts during assembly, only snug
tighten them until assembly is complete.
Carefully read and understand these installation instructions before you
begin.
Step 1:
Before attempting to assemble your equipment, please review all
installation information carefully. Should you experience any diffi culty during the
installation process, please call us at the phone number shown on the last page
of these instructions.
Step 2:
Separate and identify all components and hardware.
Step 3:
Excavate the footings as shown in the
Support Post Footing Detail
on
the page 5 of this document. Make sure the footings are laid out and spaced as
shown in this
Footing Diagram
.
Step 4:
Attach the post caps to the support frames. See
Detail A
. Place each
cap on top of a support frame so they point inward when the frames are placed in
their footings. Ensure the caps are fully seated on the frames. Use the supplied
3/16" drill bit to drill through the cap and support frame using the indents in the
cap as a guide. Thread each screw through the cap and into the support frame.
Fully tighten all fasteners according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Torque Specifi cations:
Bolts and nuts
- Snug tighten and then tighten an additional one half turn.
Step 5:
Place the footing frames in their footings. Block and brace for concrete.
Pour concrete and allow 72 hours for concrete to completely cure
.
Step 6:
Attach the bumpers to the platform. See
Detail B
. Position a bumper
against each end of the platform, apply a drop of thread locking adhesive to
the bolt threads, and attach as shown. Fully tighten all fasteners according to
tightening torque specifi cations.
Step 7:
Place one end of each rope through a left or right platform casting. See
Detail C
. Remove the frox ball halves from one end of each rope and insert the
rope through a platform casting. Place one frox ball half over the ferrule on the
end of the rope. Slide the other frox ball half onto the fi rst. Balls are grooved and
will slide together.
Step 8:
Attach the spacers to the trolley brackets. See
Details D-1 and D-2
.
Sandwich the spacer plates between the trolly brackets and attach as shown.
Insert the 2.25 in. spacers between the brackets and attach as shown.
Note: For ease of installation, attach the trolleys to the cable wire on the
ground.
Step 9:
Attach the pulley to the trolley bracket assembly. See
Detail E
. Place a
cable into the open end of each bracket assembly and then insert the spacers
and a pulley. Spacers will seat in the middle of the pulley. Align the holes and
attach as shown.
Step 10:
Fully tighten the trolley mounting bracket connections before attaching
the pulley housings beginning in the next step.
Step 11:
Attach the trolley housings to the trolley brackets. See
Detail F-1 and
F-2
. Place a cable guide on the cable on each side of the trolley brackets making
sure the smooth end of the guide is to the top. Place the housing against one side
of the bracket assembly, bend the cable guide to the contour of the housing and
seat in the designated slot of the housing. Apply a drop of thread locking adhesive
to the bolt threads and attach the housing to the bracket assembly as shown. Seat
the open ends of the cruise line ropes in the trolley housing. Each housing should
have one rope with a right casting and one rope with a left casting. Position the
remaining trolley housing to the other side of each trolley bracket assembly, apply
a drop of thread locking adhesive to the bolt threads, and attach as shown. Fully
tighten all fasteners according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Step 12:
Attach the cable assemblies to the support frames. See
Detail G
. Position
the cable assemblies between the support posts making sure the ropes with the
same casting are be diagonally across from each other when the cable assemblies
are hung between the posts (see the reference next to the detail). Position the
casting on the end of each cable over the holes in the top of the support frames
and attach as shown.
Ensure the castings on the cable are oriented with the
numbers at the top before making the connection!
Fully tighten all fasteners
according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Note:
Use of a 7 ft. or 8 ft. step ladder will be needed to perform this step.
Step 13:
Attach the platform to the ropes. See
Detail H
. Lift the platform up to
accept the castings on the end of the ropes, apply a drop of thread locking adhesive
to the bolt threads, and attach as shown. Ensure that the contour of the casting
matches the contour of the indentation in the platform. Fully tighten all fasteners
according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Step 14:
For areas complying with ASTM standard F1487 or the CSA Z-614,
apply the age appropriate label to the side panel at eye level.
