Step 9 Each side panel [A]requires 20 lbs of sandsplit between the two fillholes. Sand is needed as ballast to hold stepdown in the water. Using a funnel fill the lower holecompletely to the top withsand. Shake the panel tohelp settle the sand, lowerhole must be completelyfilled. Pour what s left fromthe 20 lbs into the upper fill hole. Using providedcap, plug the lower fill holeonly. Upper fill hole mustremain open. Repeatprocedure to fill thesecond part [A].

4 Step 10 Installing theFoot Pads [H]:If swimmingpool has a flatbottom, all fourfoot pads [H] will be installed with the #1 facing swimming pool has a slight taper towards thecenter, the back foot pads will be installed with #1facing up and the front foot pads with #2 facing 7 The two back footpads [H] will alwaysbe installed with #1facing up. Place part[H] over the roundedtab, strike with a rubber mallet untilseated onto therounded tab. Repeatto install second part [H].

Next, attach the two deck connectors to thehandrail posts using 2-#10 x 1-1/4 screws in each 18 With a helper place the pool step into swimming pool. Hold the step under water at a slight angle until all the airbubbles stop. Tilt the step in the other direction until all theair bubbles stop.

Push the tabs all the way in, then tap panel down with a rubber mallet until seated in 19 Next, install one of the foot pads [H] onto the tab located on the bottom ofthe large flex riser [M] by placing overthe raised tab and striking with a rubbermallet until seated.

7 Foot pad [H]should be installed in the same direction as the front foot pads on base step.[Refer to steps 7 & 9].Step 20 Tilt the step back farenough to slide theend of large flex riser[M] up into the slotlocated on the frontbottom edge of theadd-on side 21 Insert the tab onthe other end ofthe flex riser [M]into the openingon side panel [A]. Step 22 Attach the last footpad [H] on to the bottom of the treadsupport [N] by placingover the raised taband striking with arubber mallet untilseated. Foot pad [H]should be installedin the same positionas the front footpads on base step. Step 23 Locate the notch onthe bottom edge ofthe large flex riser[M].

Lower holemust be completely what s left from the 30lbs, into the upper the provided cap plugthe lower fill hole only. Upperfill hole must remain open. Step 25 The next step will require an extra set of hands to helpalign the large flex riser [M] and the tread support [N] intothe groove and the openings located on the bottom side ofthe large curved tread [O]. Step 26 Fill HolesIt will be easier to start fromthe add-on panel side andwork towards the base by placing the largecurved tread in approximateposition over the panels andflex riser. Next align the tabson the add-on panel with theopenings on the bottom sideof large curved tread. Lockthe tread down by strikingtop of tread directly over thetabs with rubber mallet. Step 27 Next, install the mediumflex riser [P] by slidingdown into the slot locatedon the add-on panel [J].
