   IMPORTANT: Ensure the J-shaped legs are pointing outwards before installing the steps.
   

2. UPPER SIDE LEG ASSEMBLY (refer to figure 2):
   

3. TOP PLATFORM INSTALLATION – ONE SIDE AT A TIME (refer to figure 3):
   Identify hole “A” and hole “B” on the top platform (2), marked accordingly at each corner.
   Slide the top platform over the legs, making sure hole “A” of one corner of platform slides over leg “A” and hole “B” of the other corner of platform over leg “B”. The small holes on the side of platform should align with the lower holes on the legs. Fasten each platformto the legs using the longer fasteners/screws (4). Do not yet attach the other side of the ladder to the top platform – this assembly step will follow later.
   IMPORTANT : Do not fully tighten fasterners until last assembly operation.
   

4. U-SHAPED TOP RAIL INSTALLATION (refer to figure 4):
   Install the U-shaped top rails (1) onto the legs above the top platform (2) and fasten them with the shorter fasteners/screws (3) – see figure 4.
   

5. INSTALLATION OF THE REMAINING LADDER SIDE (refer to figure 5):
   With all the top rail and top platform holes in alignment, slide the remaining ladder side from the underside into its proper position. Make sure the “A” leg slides into hole “A” of the top platform and the “B” leg slides into hole “B” of the corresponding top platform. Fasten all parts using the appropriate fasteners/screws (4) and (3), as described earlier.
   

6. BEFORE USE OF LADDER:
   With all parts now in place, verify that all fasteners/screws are fully tightened and apply downward pressure to each step to be sure they are fully anchored in place. Place the ladder over the side wall of your pool, with one side of the ladder located inside the pool and the other side outside of the pool – see figure 6.

   • Remove and secure ladder away from the pool when the pool is not in use to prevent unauthorized, unintentional or unsupervised pool entry.

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY

Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all product, package and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember, however, that product warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water recreation, but do not cover all risks and dangers.

For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally recognized Safety Organizations:

• Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed as a “lifeguard” or water watcher, especially when children are in and around the pool.
• Learn to swim.
• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.
• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about the use of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.
• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.
• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.
• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
