# 10 - ATTACH LATCH & STRIKER
Attach striker to gate using two (2) # 10 x 1 inch long screws provided. The gate has pre-drilled holes to
accept the screws (Figure 10.1 & 10.2). Position the gate latch, with the striker in the catch (closed position),
against the bottom right post and mark the four (4) screw locations (Figure 10.3). Pre-drill 1/8 inch holes and
attach latch using four (4) # 10 x 1 inch long screws provided. Do not over-tighten screws as the holes may
strip. Make certain gate functions properly. It should open with tension, self-close and self-latch. If the gate
does not function properly see the CORRECTIVE

# 11 - DETERMINE POOL DEPTH
Figure 11.2
Figure 11.1
Measure the depth of the pool to
determine if the FOOT EXTENSIONS are
required to be attached to your pool
step entry system. Measure the inside
depth of the pool, from the pool floor to
the top of the top rail (Figure 11.1). The
CS step system has clearance of 52.5
inches without the foot extensions
(Figure 11.2). If your pool measures
equal to or less than the 52 inches the
foot extensions are not required
# 12 - ATTACH FOOT EXTENSIONS * (IF REQUIRED) *
52"
If your pool depth, from pool
floor to top of top rail, measures
greater than 52 inches in
height, you will need to attach
the foot extensions provided.
The foot extensions are used as
shoes for the bottom of the
stringers to raise the height
clearance of the CS step system
over your pool wall. Fit the foot
extensions onto the bottom of
the stringers (Figure 12.1).
Make certain to fit properly -
front & back as indicated (front
is the nose of the stringer).
Once in place, pre-drill a 3/16
inch pilot hole in the stringer
and secure using a # 14 x 1 inch
screw both front & back. Make
certain
not
to
over-tighten
screws. Repeat for all four
