ON-DECK MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the assembled slide on the deck relative to the pool wall. Ensure that the exit flume clears
any coping. Slide may be angled slightly providing all dimensions are maintained as noted in the
Manufacturer’s Placement Instructions
noted in the following section.
2. With the slide in its proper location, center punch or otherwise mark through the (8) mounting holes
at the bottom of the ladder and pedestal so that a visible mark is apparent on the concrete.
3. Move the assembled slide aside to facilitate drilling of the anchoring holes.
4. Using a power drill and a 1/2” concrete drill bit, drill the holes
to a depth of 4”. Use tape or a marking on the drill bit to
ensure that the hole for the anchor is drilled to the required
depth. Maintain drill hole straight and perpendicular for
proper holding strength of anchor stud.
5. Clear the holes of all debris. Assemble anchor with nut and
washer so that the top of the nut is flush with the top of the
anchor. Move the slide over the holes and insert the
anchors. Drive anchor through the slide mounting holes so
that nut and washer are flush with the surface material.
6. Ensure the slide ladder is plumb by placing a level on a ladder tread. If necessary, shims can be
provided by S.R. Smith to place beneath the base of the ladder to ensure it is plumb due to varying
deck slopes. Please call 1.
800.824.4387 if shims are needed.
7. Expand anchor by tightening nut 3 to 5 turns. Once anchor
is set remove nut and install a lock washer, item #
(3),
and
retighten nut to a torque of 25 ft.-lbs.
