Safe Installation
WARNING To reduce the risk of
electrocution, drowning, entrapment, falls, or other serious injury or death:
Check building codes/permitting. Consult your local Building Department
before the installation of your pool and equipment. Pool/equipment
installation must comply with the codes of the authority having jurisdiction
and may require permits (e.g., building, plumbing, electrical, zoning, etc.).
Use for intended purpose only
-
Use only as swimming pool stairs.
-
These steps are designed and manufactured for a specific pool wall height and/or deck of the pool – check product specification and the height of your pool.
Check that you have all the required parts. Check the contents of the carton with the Parts List for this step system. All parts and hardware are required. If any parts are missing, DO NOT attempt to assemble or
install the steps. Instead, call Toll Free U.S. – 800-635-3213 or visit our website at www. confer plastics. com for assistance.
Select an appropriate location – The step system must be located on a solid base. Follow all instructions -
For stable, correct assembly and installation, all instructions must be followed completely and in the sequence shown.
-
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe use of all hand tools and equipment used during installation.
Cordless drill only – no corded drills near the pool. Use a cordless
drill for assembly and installation. To reduce the risk of electrocution,
NEVER use a corded drill in or around a pool.
Lift safely. When lifting awkward or heavy loads, have another person
help you.
Double-check after installation
- Before using the product, after assembly and installation, go over the instructions and procedures again to make sure nothing has been overlooked.
- Make sure that safety labels are installed and legible.
Step #1
Spread open the flange of the hinge mounting post and slide it down over the
right-side panel until the bottom edge of the hinge post and the bottom edge
of the side panel are even.
Step #2
With a cordless drill, fasten the hinge post to the side panel using six of
the #10 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws at the pre-marked spots on each side of
the hinge post (3 per side).
WARNING! Using a corded drill near the pool may result in electrocution.
Step #3
Slide the open gate hinge through the hinge post pin opening and wrap the gate
hinge around the hinge pin. Fasten the hinge at the four pre-marked spots
using the #7 x 1/2” self-tapping screws (4 per hinge).
Step #4
Spread open the flange of the latch mounting post and slide it down over the
left side panel. Slide the post up or down until the support knob closes
properly into the recession of the post. Once the latch post is aligned so the
gate closes properly fasten the post to the side panel using six (6) #10 x
1-1/4” screws.
Step #5
Install the latch on the mounting block located on the upper portion of the
latch post using four (4) #10 x 1-1/4” screws.
Step #6
Close the gate and align the latch bar by locking it into the gate latch as
shown. Secure the latch bar to the gate with two (2) #10 x 1-1/4” screws.
Step #7
The PES-G includes a gate closer. Mount the closer on the flat recessed area
on the hinge post (see diagram to left). To adjust the tension on the closer
after installation see detailed instructions on the closer package.
DO NOT use the slide plate It is for metal/wood finish wear and will not work with our gravity hinge.
Note: Spraying the gate hinges with a silicone spray will aid in the
self-closing action.
WARNING: GATE MUST BE LOCKED WHEN THE POOL IS NOT IN USE.
Safe Use
To reduce the risk of drowning,
entrapment, falls, paralysis, electrocution, or other serious injury or death:
Use the step system properly.
- No diving or jumping from steps – shallow water; risk of paralysis or death.
- ONE PERSON ON THE LADDER/STAIR AT A TIME.
- Illuminate the steps when using the pool at night.
Weight limit – 400 lbs maximum. Exceeding maximum weight may cause the stairs to fail.
Secure stairs when not in use. When the pool is not in use, make sure the gate is closed and locked.
Watch children at all times when they are in or around water to help prevent drowning.
TO WINTERIZE YOUR POOL
We suggest removing your Confer-Step from the pool for the off-season months.
WARNING! The pool step will be heavy and must be lifted from within the
pool. Have additional help when removing from swimming pool. Do not
attempt to remove by yourself.
If your Confer-Step is attached to a deck: Two people are required for this
operation and it is best to remove the unit while the water is still warm
enough so that one person can get into the pool. Disconnect the mounting
brackets from the deck. The person in the water can lift the unit up while the
person on the deck helps to pull and guide the unit onto the deck. After the
unit is on the deck, and the water has drained out of the steps, lay the nit
on its backside so that most of the water drains from the side panels.
If getting into the water is not an option the unit can be removed by both
people standing on the deck and lifting and tilting the unit to drain some of
the water from the steps. After the unit is light enough carefully lift it
from the pool. Caution: Use care when lifting the unit. It will weigh at least
130 lbs.
If you have the Confer-Step Enclosure System or Connector System: disconnect
the two units by removing the center platform/ side rail assembly at the top
of the steps.
WARNING! Do not stand on the top step of the outside unit as it may tip.
Lift up the unit inside the pool and tilt it so that water drains out of the
steps. Once it is light enough carefully lift it over the side of the pool,
lay the unit on its backside, and allow most of the water to drain from the
side panels.
The Confer-Step can be covered, if desired, and stored outdoors.
