Turn the assembly upright. Locate two (2) handrails and attach
them to the stairs using four (4) 1/4” x 1-3/4” long screws.
Tighten securely.
NOTE: If your pool is not filled with water, moving the
stair assembly into the pool will be easier if you attach the
handrails after the stairs are inside the pool.
Attach Platform Spacer to Platform
48” Tall Pools Only - See Fig. 4
Temporarily attach the platform spacer to the underside of
the platform as shown using only two (2) 1/4” x 2-1/8” long
screw and washers. Tighten securely.
Move Stair Assembly into Pool
CAUTION: Always enlist the aid of at least one other
person when moving and lifting large components.
Move the stair assembly as near as possible to the selected
installation location. Carefully lift the assembly and rest it on
the pool’s top rails and/or deck.
CAUTION: The stair assembly may be to heavy for some
top rails to support. To avoid damage to pool top rails,
always rest the stair’s weight on the deck or over a vertical
support location for additional support.
Assemble Stairs
See Fig. 3.
Locate the stairs, and turn them upside down (stair treads facing
the ground). Place a piece of cardboard under the stairs to
prevent scratching or marring the stair surfaces. Locate the
side panels and insert the raised bosses into the recesses on
the bottom of the stair rails as shown. At each boss location,
drill a 1/8” diameter hole through the inside stair rail and one
wall of the side panel boss. Be careful not to drill completely
through both sides of the stair rails. Secure each side panel
to the stairs using three (3) #10 x 1-1/2” long screws.
Locate the spacer pipe and insert each end into a side panel
hole as shown. Drill a 1/8” diameter hole into the pipe using
the predrilled hole in the side panel as a guide. Fasten the
spacer pipe to the side panels using two (2) #10 x 1/2” screws.
Complete the assembly by tightening all screws securely.
