DIVING BOARD INSTALLATION
For specific requirements of jig placements, consult
manufacturer's instructions. Be sure that the diving board
jigs are in line with the centerline of the pool, level, and
plumb. If concrete jigs are not properly set, the board
installation will appear crooked and not function properly.
LADDER PLACEMENT
Place the ladder over the pool wall in the middle of the
deep end slope for easy access. If there are no steps in the
shallow end, a second ladder must be placed in that section
of the pool. Swimming pools with a walk out step are
required at have at least one handrail at either side or in
the middle of the step. Two handrails may be used at either
side. A shallow end ladder is not necessary with a walk out
step. Assemble the ladder according to manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to seat the rubber
bumper pieces securely to the bottom of the rails to protect the liner from puncturing. Put the
chrome escutcheon rings on each ladder rail. Insert rail ends into the anchor sockets and
tighten the securing wedges, making sure rails are fully
inserted and bottomed inside of the anchor sockets.
Prepare step hand rails in the same manner for the
escutcheon and anchor sockets. Electrical bonding set
screws are located on the back of the anchor sockets.
The ladder should be place level, plumb, and parallel
with the pool wall. Spray WD-40 on the rails before
pouring the concrete to make cleaning easier. The
anchor sockets should be completely encased in
concrete and flush with the surface. Do not use the
ladder for at least 5 days after the concrete is poured.
Clean off any concrete splatters within 24 hours. Slide
the escutcheons over the anchor sockets so they lay flat
onto the concrete after it has been poured, and cured.
