BASIC PRODUCTS
HOW CANDOCK WORKS
Before starting, here are some basic principles about the Candock Modular
floating system that apply throughout the instruction manual. Our system
relies on a simple yet proven coupling system to attach all its components.
Candock parts are secured together using a “Nut and Bolt/Screw” system.
Depending on the specifications, geometries, application, and options required
for your project, the below principles and concepts apply in different forms.
The coupling hardware may vary depending on the location of the assembly
point. Usually, the CONNECTING PIN and SLIDING NUT are used for coupling
modules on the interior of the system. On the other hand, the BOLT FOR CUBE
and NUT are used for coupling modules on the outskirt of the system.

LAYERS AND TABS
The “Nut and Bolt/Screw” coupling system requires every tab to be coupled at a
designated coupling point and must be overlapped adequately for the system to
work. The images and diagrams below demonstrate which “layer” each tab of our
different modules is using. The lowest tab available in a designated assembly
point holds the SLIDING NUT. The additional tabs of the cubes will be
positioned in superimposed layers. If a gap (missing tab) is present as you
overlap the tabs, the void is filled by a SPACER until you have reached the
highest available tab in your assembly. In the below image, layers #2, #3, and
4 are occupied by tabs 2, 3, and 4. On the lowest tab available in the
assembly, a SLIDING NUT is inserted on the tab to allow for the CONNECTING
PIN’s “male” threads to have traction in the “female” threads of the SLIDING
NUT.
Connecting Pin Tab #4 Tab #3 Tab #2 Sliding Nut
Layer 1 (tab #1) is missing in the featured assembly to allow for the assembly’s good viewpoint.
TAB POSITIONS The basic components of the Candock system are using eight (8)
different layers (tabs). Starting from the lowest tab, the sequence is as
follows: -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The regular CUBE uses tabs #1, #2, #3
and #4. The other components (CORNER CUBE and EDGE CUBES) are using tabs #-1,
0, #5, and #6. Throughout our manual, we use the below diagram to explain
which layers (tabs) is utilized for each system/product.

TERMINOLOGY
TABS: Prominent grooved parts of the cube, located at different heights on
each of the four (4) corners of the “cube” (tab #1 to #4, #1 being the lowest
and #4, the highest). These tabs are an integral part of the Candock system.
When assemble in groups of 4, the cubes create a larger square. At the center
of this square, four (4) different tabs overlap each other. These tabs form a
single opening and are meant to be coupled with our SLIDING NUT and CONNECTING
PIN to form a unique structure.
7
PLUGS: These watertight plugs are always found on the cube side between tab #
1 and # 4. These plugs, made of breathable material, act as pressure release
valves preventing any cube deformation due to temperature changes and pressure
variations. Furthermore, these plugs prevent any condensation inside the cube.
NOTE: Fully sealed plugs (no pressure release valve) are also available if the
cubes should be submerged for extended periods.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 1-During the installation of a dock, always have the
plugs oriented towards the shore. This orientation uses fewer SPACERS and
improves the aesthetic of your dock. If your configuration is meant to go
along the shoreline instead of offshore (parallel to shore instead of
perpendicular), align plugs towards the shortest side of your dock. 2-Always
make sure to regroup four (4) different tab heights to complete your assembly.
Make sure they are in their pre-destined position and that none of these are
wrongfully overlapping each other. 3-Preassemble the dock in larger sections
directly on the ground. Before putting the dock in the water, prepare the
missing units of CONNECTING PINS and SLIDING NUTS and position them on each
section’s corresponding side. This step helps you save time. PROCEDURE: 1-
Prepare all items and have them unboxed close to your “assembly” area (cubes,
connecting pins, sliding nuts, spacers, and tools) 2- Insert a SLIDING NUT on
the lowest tab available at each connecting point. 3- Position the sections
next to each other and ensure that the tabs are overlapping correctly. Fill in
any empty layers in-between the tabs with SPACERS 4- Insert the CONNECTING
PINS in the tabs as you progress and manually engage the threads. 5-Once the
sequence of cubes is connected, complete assembly by firmly tightening the
CONNECTIN PINS. 6- Add BOLT FOR CUBE and NUT assemblies on the entire
perimeter of your dock. If necessary, do not forget to fill the empty layers
in-between the tabs with SPACERS.
TRICKS AND TIPS: THE SCISSOR TECHNIQUE While assembling bigger sections on the
water, proceed with the following steps: 1-Insert SLIDING NUTS at each
coupling point. 2-Insert a CONNECTING PIN as shown on the diagram 3-Bring the
two sections side by side while correctly overlapping each tab. 4- Insert
CONNECTING PINS at each coupling point and tighten firmly. This technique
helps you assemble big sections with ease.

TERMINOLOGY
EDGE CUBE: Still using our regular “nut and pin” system on tabs, which are now
located at different heights on 2 of the corners of Candock’s EDGE CUBE, are
still an integral part of the Candock system. When added to our regular CUBES
perimeter, the EDGE CUBES create a smoother and more aesthetic finish while
eliminating any prominent pieces on the outskirt of your dock. The EDGE CUBE
tabs are located at a lower position than the regular G2 cube’s tabs (#1 to
4). Representing layers “negative 1” and “zero” ( -1 being the lowest and
-zero (“0”) being just above), these always need to be positioned underneath the regular CUBE’S tabs.
9
CORNER EDGE CUBE: Again, using our regular “nut and pin” system on a single
tab located on one corner of the CORNER EDGE CUBE. When added to our regular
CUBES perimeter, the CORNER EDGE CUBE creates a smoother and more aesthetic
finish on the outskirt corners of your dock while eliminating the prominent
part sticking out of the structure (G2 cube tab). The CORNER EDGE CUBE tab is
tab #5, which is the same one as the two (2) lower tabs of the CORNER CUBE.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT NOTIONS -Any tab layer that presents no tab must be replaced by a
SPACER, starting from the lowest tab available going upwards. -A SLIDING NUT
is required on the lowest tab available (either “0” or “-1”). -Make sure you
work on dry land with a flat and uniform surface. Installing EDGE CUBES in the
water is possible, but the task is more challenging and requires a minimum of
2 people to proceed. SEQUENCE 1- Prepare all items and have them unboxed close
to your “assembly” area (cubes, connecting pins, sliding nuts, spacers, and
tools) 2- Insert a SLIDING NUT on the lowest tabs available at each connecting
point. 3- Position the sections next to each other, alongside the regular G2
CUBES assembly, and ensure that the tabs are overlapping adequately. 4- Insert
the CONNECTING PINS in the tabs as you progress and manually engage the
threads. 5-Once the sequence of cubes is connected, complete assembly by
firmly tightening the CONNECTIN PINS.

on each of the three (3) corners of the CORNER CUBE (tabs 5 and 6). Two of
those tabs are identical, namely tab #5. The 3rd one, being slightly higher
(tab #6), features a bigger and beveled opening to accommodate the CONNECTING
PIN’S neck’s conical shape. These tabs are also an integral part of the
Candock assembly system. Utilizing layers 5 and 6, the CORNER CUBE can be
installed anywhere around a Candock dock without interfering with the regular
CUBES tabs (1, 2, 3, and 4).
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT NOTIONS -Any tab/layer that presents no tab must be replaced by a
SPACER, starting from the lowest tab available, going upwards. INTERIOR CORNER
CONFIGURATION: SLIDING NUTS and CONNECTING PINS are required at each
connecting point. EXTERIOR CORNER CONFIGURATION: (1x) SLIDING NUT and (1x)
CONNECTING PIN is required for the “inside connecting point. (2x) BOLT FOT
CUBE and (2x) NUTS are required for the 2 “outside” connecting points.
11
SEQUENCE 1- Prepare all items and have them unboxed close to your “assembly”
area (corner cubes, connecting pins, sliding nuts, bolts for cube, white nuts,
spacers, and tools) 2- Insert a SLIDING NUT on the lowest tabs available at
each connecting point. 3- Position the CONER CUBE alongside the regular G2
CUBES assembly and ensure that the tabs are overlapping adequately. 4- Insert
the CONNECTING PINS in the “inside” openings as you progress and manually
engage the threads. 5-Insert all needed SPACERS on the “outside” connecting
points. 5- Insert the BOLT FOR CUBE on the “outside” tabs as you progress.
6-Manually engage the NUTS on the BOLT FOR CUBE as you progress. 7-Once the
cubes’ sequence is connected, complete assembly by firmly tightening the
CONNECTIN PINS and BOLT FOR CUBE/NUTS assemblies.

CANDOCK SERVICE CHANNEL
Before starting, here are some basic principles about the Candock service
channel system. The service channel system abides by the same assembly
concepts as our regular floating dock system while allowing many advantages.
Consisting of a “2-piece” cube (the SERVICE CUBE BASE and the SERVICE CUBE
COVER), multiple units’ assembly allows marina service channels, outlets
(freshwater outlets and electrical services) and our unique LED light system
to be seamlessly integrated into our modular floating dock system. As is the
case with our regular system, all Candock parts are secured together using a
“Nut and Bolt/Screw” system. Depending on the specification, geometries,
application, and options required for your project, the same principles
explained earlier apply. The coupling hardware may vary depending on the
location of the assembly point. The CONNECTING PIN and SLIDING NUT are used
for coupling modules inside the System’s perimeter. On the other hand, the
BOLT FOR CUBE and NUT are used for coupling modules on the outskirt of the
system.

TERMINOLOGY
TABS: Prominent grooved parts of the cube, located at different heights on
each of the four (4) corners of the “cube” (tab #1 to #4, #1 being the lowest
and #4, the highest). These tabs are an integral part of the Candock system.
When rallied in groups of 4, the cubes create a larger square. At the center
of this square, four (4) different tabs overlap each other. These tabs form a
single opening and are meant to be coupled with our SLIDING NUT and CONNECTING
PIN to form a unique structure. PLUGS: These watertight plugs are always found
on the cube side between tab # 1 and # 4. These plugs, made of breathable
material, act as pressure release valves preventing any cube deformation due
to temperature or altitude. Furthermore, these plugs prevent any condensation
inside the cube.
TILE COVER
The TILE COVER must be surrounded by other cubes (REGULAR CUBES, SERVICE
CUBES, CORNER CUBES, OR EDGE CUBES) on all four (4) sides. The four (4)
surrounding connecting pins, especially their “slanted necks,” compress the
cover onto the cube’s base, making it a sturdy and robust assembly.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 1-During the installation of a dock, always have the
plugs oriented towards the shore. This orientation uses fewer SPACERS and
improves the aesthetic of your dock. If your configuration is meant to go
along the shoreline instead of offshore (parallel to shore instead of
perpendicular), align plugs towards the shortest side of your dock. 2-Always
make sure to regroup four (4) different tab heights to complete your assembly.
Make sure they are in their pre-destined position and that none of these are
wrongfully overlapping each other. 3-Preassemble the dock in larger sections
directly on the ground. When in the water, prepare the missing units of
CONNECTING PINS and SLIDING NUTS and position them on each section’s
corresponding side. This step helps you save time. NOTES: -As the SERVICE CUBE
is composed of 2 parts (base and cover), including the covers or not in your
pre-assembly (i.e., “4-pack” of cubes) depends on the application, geometries,
and the environment you are working in. Contact your local Distributor or
Candock’s head offices for more information and insight in this regard. The
below procedure, we include the covers on the cube bases in our assembly.
PROCEDURE: 1- Prepare all items and have them unboxed close to your “assembly”
area (cube bases, cube covers, connecting pins, sliding nuts,
spacers, and tools) 2- Insert a SLIDING NUT on the lowest tab available at
each connecting point. 3- Position the sections next to each other and ensure
that the tabs are overlapping correctly. 4- Position de TILE COVERS onto the
cube’s bases. 5- Insert the CONNECTING PINS in the tabs as you progress and
manually engage the threads. 6- Once the sequence of cubes is connected,
complete assembly by firmly tightening the CONNECTIN PINS. 7- Add BOLT FOR
CUBE and NUT assemblies on the entire perimeter of your dock. If necessary, do
not forget to fill the empty layers in-between the tabs with SPACERS.

TERMINOLOGY
HEAD: Upper part of the CONNECTING PINS designed with a flat and anti-skid
surface. NOTCH: Manufactured recess in the pin’s head that allows the tool to
insert the key for screwing and unscrewing. SHAFT: Make part of our coupling
system; the threaded rod is inserted in our CANDOCK SLIDING NUTS.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1-Initiate the rotating process by hand.
2-When the CONNECTING PIN has access to the SLIDING NUT threads, proceed by
screwing manually or mechanically with the proper tools.
3-Make sure to securely tighten the CONNECTING PINS until snug, without over-
tightening them.
TIPS
1-When initially inserting the CONNECTING PINS in place, you can firmly “tap”
the pin in place. Tappig the connectin pin ensures a firm “initial” grip of
the shaft threads into the SLIDING NUT. Likewise, this “tap” helps you get the
pin through the four (4) cube tabs resting on top of the SLIDING NUT.
2-Once the assembly process is completed, align the NOTCHES of every
CONNECTING PIN using the manual key. This simple operation allows to quickly
locate any CONNECTING PINS which could have unscrewed over time.
3-Always proceed with caution if using a power drill to fasten the CONNECTING
PINS; the drill can tend to “kick.” Use protective footwear. If using a power
drill to unscrew pins, always loosen-up the pins manually before using the
drill.
4- Never use an “impact tool” to fasten the connecting pins; it can damage the
connecting pins and the assembly key for the drill as well.

MODULAR RAILING SYSTEM
The Candock Modular Railing System has been developed with the same advantages
as our Modular Floating Dock System. By allowing limitless configuration
possibilities, they provide a tailored railing system for any Candock dock.
The system consists of a few simple components that can provide a safe and
aesthetical railing/guard rail for Candock docks.
Like our regular system, the railing/guard rail is installed on the Candock
system using the same coupling mechanism. Depending on the specifications,
geometries, application, and options required for your project, the same
principles explained earlier apply. The coupling hardware and method vary
depending on the post model.
The PVC railings and aluminum fittings are connected using a simple “push-pin”
quick connect system. These fittings allow for junctions in-between lengths of
PVC (if a section is longer than 20′) caps, 45 degree corners, and 90 degree
corners that allow for any shape of dock. Ninety (90) degree fittings are also
used to create a smooth yet sturdy ending at the end of each railing section
(image below).
1-SURFACE POST
It can be considered as a “guard-rail” if installed at “2-cubes” intervals
with Candock’s PVC pipes. See the detailed specification sheet for more
information. This model replaces a CONNECTING PIN and it is to be screwed in
place in combination with a SLIDING NUT. Specific tools are to be utilized.
Please refer to the tools sections in the Owner’s Manuals for instructions.
2-PERIPHERAL POST
It cannot be considered as a “guard-rail”. Must be installed at “2-cubes”
intervals or less. This model is to be installed on the Candock System’s
perimeter and is installed in the same fashion as a BOLT FOR CUBE/NUT
assembly.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
SURFACE POST 1-Determine the location of the post you wsnt to install.
2- Using the proper tool, remove the CONNECTING PIN that is in the selected location.
3-Insert the surface post and initiate the rotating process by hand.
4-When the SURFACE POST has access to the SLIDING NUT threads, proceed by screwing manually or mechanically with the proper tool.
5-Make sure to tighten the SURFACE POST until snug, without over-tightening.
28
NOTES -Intervals (spacing) between each post should be of 2 cubes if the railing system is utilized as a guard rail. PVC railings should also be included at both levels (upper and lower) to provide sufficient rigidity for the whole assembly. -A wider span can be considered if the railings are destined to provide walking/traffic assistance instead of preventing accidental falls off the dock. Ropes could be considered for the horizontal railings instead of PVC if the railings are destined to provide walking/traffic assistance instead of preventing accidental falls off the dock. PERIPHERAL POST 1-Determine the location of the post you wish to install. 2-Remove the potential installed BOLT FOR CUBE / NUT assembly at the selected location using the proper tool. 3-Insert the surface post while making sure to include the needed SPACERS (4x) and STRENTENING SPACER (1x) as you insert the post on the cube’s tabs. The STRENGTHENING SPACER is to be inserted at the lowest possible point on the post’s shaft. The “regular” SPACERS are to be inserted at the connection point where the tab configuration creates a void in the assembly. No SPACERS should be included higher than tab
4 (see image). The “neck” of the post must be “sitting” directly on top of
the tab (or spacer) #4.
Peripheral post
Peripheral post neck Spacers (4x)
Strengthening Spacer Nut
4-Finalize the assembly by firmly tightening the NUT at the bottom of the

29
TIP
-To create a stiffer assembly in a calm body of water, link the upper and lower PVC rails by adding a vertical PVC section of 29.2cm (11 ½”) between (2x) 90 fittings. This step creates a stiffer assembly between the upper and lower PVC rails.
PRODUCT LIMITATIONS -Regardless of the water conditions and main application
of the floating dock, it is not recommended to use these handrails in
conditions where waves are subjected to exceed 3 ‘(1m). – Unless installed in
an environment completely protected from wave action, the ropes or pipes must
have buffers of at least 45cm (18″) at each end to allow free movement of the
ropes OR PVC pipes through the posts. – If using rope instead of PVC pipes, we
recommend using a rope possessing high resistance to friction and abrasion.
-If using PVC pipes, the corners or “end section” of the handrail system (45
deg. ,90 deg. End-cap) cannot withstand waves of more than 30cm (12″) for
extensive periods. We, therefore, recommend leaving any corner section or “end
section” as free as possible by adding the necessary buffers to your pipe
measurements.

LED LIGHT SYSTEM
The Candock LED light system shares many components and concepts found in our
SERVICE CHANNEL SYSTEM. Replacing “solid colored” covers with translucent
covers, we, allow for light-emitting diodes (LED lights) to be installed
within the covers to brighten the surface of your Candock dock. As it is the
case with our SERVICE CHANNEL system, the covers are secured on the Candock
system using the same two (2) coupling mechanisms. Depending on the
specifications, geometries, application, and options required for your
project, the same principles explained earlier apply.

TERMINOLOGY
LIGHT BULB: Custom design light-emitting diodes that are destined to light-up
any CANDOCK dock, pontoon, platform, or marina. Perfectly sealed and extremely
durable, these light bulbs are the most reliable and practical solution to
bring light to any CANDOCK floating structure. They are RGB, so you will have
the choice between multiple colors.
EXTENSION CORD 10′: These cables are mandatory if you have more than 1 cube
between each light, and to get from the control unit to your first light.
CONTROL UNIT: This control unit is equipped with a photocell and allows you to
change the color of your lights. It is also equipped with a DC to 12V current
transformer to power your lights in complete safety.
32
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE 1-Proceed with cube assembly without installing covers on the G2
SERVICE CUBE bases.
2- Plug and test the control unit. Under a bright light, the photocell will
need to be covered to trigger the lights. Once you have confirmation
everything is working as expected, proceed with the other steps. We also
recommand to keep the control unit “ON” during the whole process, so you have
confirmation that every lights you add on the systems works and are well
plugged.
3- Starting from the control unit, insert the 1st light in the pre-drilled
hole of the cover. The seal has a small slot that allows a firm fit. Once the
1st light is installed, repeat the same steps for further lights. Remember to
start from shore and make your way from there.
4- When plugging the lights together, make sure to align both notches on the
female and male connectors. Push the male connector until it touches the
rubber gasket to assure a dust and water free connection.
5- Once you have a couple of lights plugged in, you can then start putting the
covers on and fixing them in place with the connecting pins.
33
6- When installing the Control unit, it is best to put it as close to the dock
as possible. From the control unit, run 10′ extension cords (as needed) to the
1st light. The cable can be attached under the gangway for a cleaner
installation.
NOTES
-The lights can be installed in the covers and the covers put in place as you go. -You must ensure that you do not exceed the capacity of your converter. The limit is 50 lights or 200’/60m, whichever comes first. A second converter is required if you go past the number of lights or the maximum cable length. -If you need to remove a light already installed in a cover, do not remove it by pulling on the wire. Push the light entirely inside the cover, remove the ring, and then it is easy to pull out the light from the cover. -Our LED light system works with AC only. Many options exist to convert AC into DC current, but Candock does not provide this option.

ANCHORING PRODUCTS
PILINGS INTRODUCTION
The piling anchor method is one of the most common and popular approaches
there is. Providing unmatched stability to the floating dock, they are often
the preferred option if the environment and conditions allow it. The anchoring
of a floating dock with pilings requires most of the below conditions:
-Protected (sheltered) location which is not subject to high swells, waves, or
wakes. -Water depths in the low to medium range, depending on the types of
pilings. -Tractable nature of the seabed, depending on the types of pilings.
CANDOCK’S PILING SYSTEMS
Candock has developed a piling system that features noticeable advantages.
Being a cost-effective, simple, and considered a temporary method, it also has
its limitations. Through the below section, we demonstrate the best practices
regarding our piling system.
Additionally, Candock has developed accessories that may be added to widen the
scope of possibilities.. As an example, we stated above that water depths must
be in the low to mid-range for the piling approach to be considered. With that
in mind, in specific environments where a fixed structure is readily available
and adjacent to the future floating dock installation, we are proposing
accessories that allow for those water depths to be a bit more considerable
while maintaining optimal stability.By fastening the piles’ upper section onto
those existing fixed structures (seawall, fixed crib dock, fixed dock on
posts, etc.), we can achieve optimal stability while allowing deeper waters.
OTHER PILING ATTACHMENT OPTIONS
Candock also developed piling attachments to help our customers who already
have existing piles which they can secure their Candock dock. The below
section illustrates the most common accessories Candock has been using in the
past years.

It allows the POST CUBE to move up and down on the pile (with tidal or
seasonal variations) without any restriction while ensuring a sturdy and
durable anchoring method.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
See the CUBE assembly procedure.
IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES
The below principles and notions apply to Candock’s piling system in general.
We recommend that the specifications of the combined products remain
unchanged. Outside diameters of both the steel piles and PVC sleeves and the
below guidelines are of the utmost importance to ensure the components’ proper
functioning altogether. See diagrams on the following page for additional
visual explanations. WATER DEPTH: Water depths should not exceed 2m (6.6′) to
ensure optimal stability. NATURE OF SEABED: The composition of the soil/ground
underwater must be tractable. I.E., Sand, mud, or small gravel. PILEDEPTH :
The piles should be inserted in the ground at 60cm (2′), ideally 90cm (3′).
VERTICALITY: All piles should be perfectly vertical after installation is
complete. The use of a level is highly recommended. PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT: Any
Candock system that is to be anchored with our piling system should not be
subjected to waves of more than 60cm (2′). Candock’s piling system is
extremely restrictive in the amount of leeway it will allow to the dock.
Aggressive waters may translate to premature wear of the components. CANDOCK’S
PILES WORK IN PAIRS: Candock’s piling system implies that the piles are
configured in pairs. EACH PAIR OF POST CUBES SHOULD BE AT MAXIMAL INTERVALS OF
7m TO 9m (23 TO 30′): To maintain optimal stability and linear geometry, each
pair of post cube should not exceed a distance of more than 9m (30′). OTHER
CUBES ON 3 SIDES SHOULD ALWAYS support POST CUBES.: In other words, a post
cube should never be installed on the outside corner of a Candock dock. It
should always be recessed inside of 1 cube; on at least one (1) side. POST
CUBES SHOULD NEVER RUB DIRECTLY AGAINST THE STEEL PILES: This implies that the
lengths of PVC sleeves must always span the total length of seasonal or tidal
fluctuations of water levels. The PVC sleeve should be going deep enough for
the post cube to rub on the PVC sleeve at the lowest possible water levels.
PVC CAPS (INCLUDING RUBBER INSERT) ARE MANDATORY: Each pile/PVC sleeve
combination should be completed with a glued PVC cap and rubber insert.
TIPS
-Candock suggests that the piles protrude of approximately 1m to 1.5m (3-5 ft.) above the dock surface; at an average high-water level. Doing this allows for an insurance policy if the water level should unforeseeably rise.

UNDERWATER ANCHORING POINTS WITH ANCHOR LINES INTRODUCTION
CANDOCK’S UNDERWATER ANCHORING SYSTEMS
The underwater anchoring points with anchor lines approach is also a widely
employed technique. The anchoring of a floating dock using this technique
impose fewer restrictions. There is a wide variety of options regarding the
components and possibilities through a multitude of possible combinations.
This technique can easily be broken down into three (3) separate categories of
accessories: 1-Connecting mechanism to the floating dock 2-Anchor line
3-Anchoring point in the seabed, lakebed, or riverbed.
56
CANDOCK’S REGULAR ANCHORING METHOD AND ACCESSORIES
Candock has also developed its array of anchoring components. Due to our
Modular Floating Dock systems’particularities , the market’s readily available
hardware and accessories werenot sufficient . We have perfected and developed
accessories for the three (3) categories mentioned above for the past two
decades. Because of our floating dock systems’ outstanding durability and
resilience, each of the components has been designed to outperform any other
floating dock system on the market. The flexibility and “energyabsorbing”
nature of our systems have made Candock world-renowned for its unmatched
durability and resilience.
CANDOCK’S “OPEN SEA” ANCHORING METHOD AND ACCESSORIES
Candock has also developed a revolutionary anchoring approach that sets the
brand apart from its competitors. As our systems are extremely resilient,
we’ve created a unique combination of accessories and techniques to develop
the most robust and most resilient OPEN SEA CONDITIONS anchoring method
available for a modular floating dock system like Candock. Look for the 3

IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES
The below principles and notions apply to Candock’s ELASTIC ANCHORING CABLES
(TMS). The addition of these cables on the anchor lines allows for the dock’s
optimal stability in every condition. Suppose the water levels are subjected
to fluctuations (tidal or seasonal). In that case, our elastic cables’
addition to the anchor lines allows for optimal tension in the lines at all
water levels. Depending on the application, environment, and applied forces to
the dock, a Candock representative will determine a precise configuration
layout. The below guidelines demonstrate the basic principles and best
practices when these TMS cables are included in your dock system. Also, see
the below diagrams for explanations on the below principles.
FLUCTUATION AMPLITUDES: If expected water fluctuations are higher than 2m, we
recommend using the 2m elastic cable. If fluctuations and lesser than 2m, we
suggest using the 1m elastic cable.
TMS POSITION ON THE ANCHOR LINE: The TMS cables should always be included in
the line’s upper-mid section. It prevents potential damages to the cable from
seabed debris while allowing the upper section to be adjusted onto the
floating dock.
TMS INSTALLATION AND TENSION: The TMS final adjustments (tension in the anchor
lines) should be performed at a low water level (low tide). It allows for
optimal tension when water fluctuates. The exact tension in the cables is
challenging to determine, so we highly recommend meticulous monitoring of the
first fluctuation cycles.
INCREASED RESISTANCE TO STRETCHING: The TMS cables can also be paired or
tripled on a given anchor line to provide more stretching resistance.
Depending on the load applied and the amplitude of the fluctuations, a Candock
representative must determine the proper configuration.
ONE PIECE CHAIN: The TMS cable should be installed on a single section anchor
line. It implies that the chain between the 2 connecting points of the TMS on
the chain must be as long as the maximal stretch of the chosen TMS cable
length (2m for the 1m cable; 4m for the de 2m cable).
62
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1-Install TMS cables on all anchor lines before installing the connecting
lines.
2-Use proper shackles depending on chain gauge and application

MISCELLANEOUS ANCHORING TECHNIQUES
In the miscellaneous category of techniques and accessories, there are
multiple options. As a manufacturer, we developed tailored accessories and
concepts. However, we kept in mind other alternatives available such as
“custom-made” accessories or via third-party companies and marine contractors.
The below list of accessories consists of our most often utilized accessories.
WALL ANCHORS AND EXTENSION PLATE FOR WALL ANCHORS
SPECIFICATIONS
Material/Composition: Stainless steel 316 or galvanized steel Needed tools:
Key for nut, 1 1/8” ratchet socket and wrench for the WALL ANCHORAGES and ¾”

floating structure. *Bolt for cube and nut included.
SKU NUMBER
WALL ANCHOR GALVANIZED STEEL: WALL ANCHOR STAINLESS STEEL 316: C06-000009 WALL
ANCHORING ANGLE PLATE: C06-000036
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Simply insert the WALL ANCHOR onto the “pre-installed” BOLT FOR CUBE and NUT
assembly using the provided hardware (bolt, washers, and nut). Secure by
firmly tightening the nut onto the bolt.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
-Wall anchors are strictly to connect a Candock system onto another type of floating dock.
-Connection point onto the other type of floating dock must provide a flat, sturdy, and robust surface from 10cm (4”) over the waterline up to 20cm (8”) to allow for the mounting plate to be securely fastened to the existing floating dock. If the existing dock’s freeboard height is higher than the Candock system, include an EXTENSION PLATE FOR WALL ANCHORAGES, which provides additional leeway for adjusting the WALL ANCHOR proper height. The plate allows for a freeboard height of 60cm (24”) at the most. -When purchasing the EXTENSION PLATE FOR WALL ANCHORS, the needed hardware to secure the WALL ANCHOR onto the plate is included in the packaging.
-Wall anchors are to be installed in pairs; or more.

SKU NUMBER
SLIDING ANCHOR H-BEAM STAINLESS STEEL: C06-000006 SLIDING ANCHOR H-BEAM
ALUMINUM: C06-000007
IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES
The below principles and notions apply to Candock’s SLIDING ANCHOR H BEAM.
FLUCTUATION AMPLITUDES: We suggest installing SLIDING ANCHOR H BEAM that
allows the fluctuation amplitudes of the environment it is installed in.
AT LEAST 60% OF THE OVERALL LENGTH OF THE H BEAM MUST BE SECURED ON THE
SHORELINE’S STRUCTURE. The bottom portion of the H Beam may not be possible to
secure onto the face of the existing structure (seawall), but we recommend at
least 60% of its length well secured onto the seawall.
VERTICALITY: All H beams should be perfectly vertical after installation is
complete. The use of a level is highly recommended.
PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT: Any Candock system that is to be anchored with our
SLIDING ANCHOR H-BEAM should not be subjected to waves of more than 60cm (2′).
The Candock’s piling system is extremely restrictive in the amount of leeway
it will allow to the dock. Aggressive waters may translate to premature wear
of the components.
CANDOCK’S SLIDING ANCHORAGE H-BEAM WORK IN PAIRS: Candock’s H beam system
implies that the beams are to be configured in pairs; or more.

JETSLIDE DRY-DOCK SYSTEM
JETSLIDE SYSTEM BASIC CONCEPTS
The JETSLIDE dry-dock system consists of an assembly of multiple components.
First and foremost, the JETSLIDE unit itself. It is the center part of any
drive-on dry-dock system that Candock can provide. Depending on the vessel’s
size and specifications, an array of additional components is required to
ensure a safe and efficient system. The below information is essential
information for every JETSLIDE SYSTEM that is to be considered/offered:
MAKE NAME (BRAND) MODEL NAME YEAR OF MANUFACTURING ENGINE LAYOUT AND
SPECIFICATIONS Consisted of a single piece of medium density polyethylene,
with 100% of its interior filled with expanded polystyrene, the JETSLIDE is
virtually unsinkable. Furthermore, as it does not have any mobile parts, it
relies on its “low friction” soft surface to help your vessel going up and
down from the system itself. Depending on the boat’s length and weight,
Candock will determine a suitable configuration of the needed components.
JETSLIDE, CUBES, CONNECTING PINS, and SLIDING NUTS, to name a few, are all
part of the recipe to create a perfectly tailored dry-dock system for your
vessel.
There are some basic yet essential rules and premises to ensure a functional
system: 1- CANDOCK’S PROPOSED CONFIGURATION SHOULDN’T BE ALTERED IN ANY WAYS.
2- CERTAIN BOATS (STEPPED HULL, V-DRIVE/DIRECT-DRIVE) ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH
THE JETSLIDE SYSTEM. 3- USERS MUST MASTER MANEUVERS WITH SUCH A SYSTEM.
4-CANDOCK IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING OF THE NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.

TERMINOLOGY
JETSLIDE TABS: Prominent threaded parts on each side of the JETSLIDE, located
under tab “1” . As opposed to our regular CUBE coupling system, which
requires the addition of a SLIDING NUT at the bottom of a connection point so
that the CONNECTING PIN can have traction in the threads, the JETSLIDE TABS
have their threads inside the tabs along its sides.
The exception to the above description is the FRONT TABS (left and right), located underneath the other JETSLIDE tabs. This specifically allows the merging of 2 JETSLIDES in an “in-line” configuration. This allows configuring longer systems to accept longer/heavier vessels. See lower in this section for more explanations on “dual” JETSLIDE configurations. PLUGS: These watertight plugs are always found on the front wall of the JETSLIDE. These plugs, made of a breathable material, act as pressure release valves, preventing the JETSLIDE’s deformation due to temperature changes and pressure variations. Furthermore, these plugs prevent any condensation inside the JETSLIDE.

OVERVIEW
JETSLIDE SMALLEST CONFIGURATION (PWC)
JETSLIDE BIGGEST CONFIGURATION (BOAT) THIS CONFIGURATION MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL BOATS
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
1-Assemble on a flat surface rather than in the water.
2-Assemble the cubes around the JETSLIDE. If you attach it to an existing
Candock dock, make sure the plugs face the same direction as the existing
dock. If your JETSLIDE is an independent unit, the cubes’ vent plugs should be
oriented towards the system’s front.
PROCEDURE:
1-Prepare the needed SPACERS on each side of the JETSLIDE before manually
inserting the connecting pins. The tab configuration will create a void in the
assembly; depending on the cube’s tabs utilized in the assembly, insert
SPACERS in the missing tabs’ opening. 2- Manually insert CONNECTING PINS to
engage the threads.
3-When the pins are engaged, proceed by screwing manually or mechanically.
Start by tightening the pins in the middle section of each side and work
towards the front and the back alternating.
4-We suggest manually tightening the pins to better feel the needed torque for
each CONNECTING PIN.
4) For the 2 front corners of the JETSLIDE connecting points, the CONNECTING
PINS require SLIDING NUTS as the FRONT TABS are too low, and they don’t have a
threaded opening like the other tabs of the JETSLIDE. Insert a SLIDING NUT on
the lowest tab available at the connection point and make sure to include the
potentially needed SPACERS if the tab configuration creates a void in the
assembly.
5) When the needed CUBES are all secured around the JETSLIDE, install BOLT FOR
CUBE and NUTS assemblies all around the perimeter of the JETSLIDE system. Make
sure to include the potentially needed SPACERS if the tab configuration
creates a void in the assembly.
71
OPERATING A WATER-CRAFT WITH THE JETSLIDE
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The water depth at the back of the system (entry point) must be at least 1m
(3.3′) to avoid potential damage to the engine’s propeller and skeg.
GOING UP THE SYSTEM
PWC: Approach the JETSLIDE at idle, keeping the craft straight and centered
with the JETSLIDE. When the craft’s bow is in contact with the JETSLIDE, give
small throttle strokes to align the craft with the JETSLIDE. When the craft is
in line with the JETSLIDE, throttle in slowly. After a few tries, you will
develop a feel of how much throttle you must use to reach the final position
on the JETSLIDE
BOAT: The engine must be trimmed entirely down during the entering procedures.
Increase throttle power until the boat is entirely on the system. When the
engine gets in contact with the JETSLIDE, you will feel the vessel has
stopped. You must immediately throttle down. It indicates that the craft is at
its final resting position. Entering the unit at high speed may damage the
unit. We recommend, at first, that you try at slow speeds until you reach the
correct speed. If the boat gets on the system but is not all the way in, you
can continue throttling progressively until the boat reaches its final resting
position. Be careful; boarding on the JETSLIDE at high speed can be dangerous.
NOTE: It is recommended to secure the craft to a cleat to prevent it from
sliding back into the water accidentally. The craft can be locked to the
JETSLIDE system with a CONNECTING PIN WITH LOCK CHAIN. See lower in this
manual.
GOING DOWN THE SYSTEM
PWC: To go back into the water, initiate the procedure by pushing the PWC
backward of 30-60cm (1′ to 2′) to bring the machine’s weight towards the back
of the system. Then, stand up at the back of your PWC, grab the seat’s handle,
and transfer your weight backward. The easiest way to push the PWC backward is
to grab the PWC’s nose in one hand and the handle with the other and then push
gently. Be vigilant because, at some point, your PWC will want to go down by
itself. At this point, you will have to get on it if you do not want it in the
water without you.
BOAT: Trim the engine down completely and put the engine in reverse. Gradually
increase throttle until craft starts to go down by itself. It helps if you wet
the system, especially if the boat was not used for an extended period. It
might be necessary to give a good throttle stroke to initiate the motion and
then throttle down.
NOTE: For boats powered with turbine engine layout, a BOAT WINCH is required
to initiate the process of going back in the water with the vessel. See lower
in this manual.
WARNINGS & SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1- For all JETSLIDE systems, the surrounding environments must not be
subjected to waves of more than 60cm (24”). We recommend installing a JETSLIDE
system in a protected area.
2-The installation of multiple PWC JETSLIDES side by side is possible, but we
suggest a minimum of 2 rows of CUBES in-between each JETSLIDE. An installation
with only one row is also possible, but there are risks of injuries for the
surrounding users and damaging the PWC.
3-The lifting (crane) of multiple JETSLIDES assembled is strongly not
recommended.
4-Aluminum riveted hulls may scratch the surface of the JETSLIDE.
5- “Stepped-hull” vessels as well as “v-drive or direct-drive” engine layouts
are not compatible with the JETSLIDE system. 6-Please note that some boats
have engine cooling intakes on the hull and may overheat if the boat is dry-
docked on the system with the engine running.
7-All boats and PWC’s must be brought entirely to the front of the JETSLIDE at
all times. 8-Surfaces can be slippery when the system is wet.

FOR JETSLIDE SYSTEM 153” (8 CUBES): C02-000007
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 1-Assemble STIFENING BEAMS when the JETSLIDE system is
in the water. 2-Position STIFFENING BEAM(S) precisely at the designated
position provided by your Candock’s representative. PROCEDURE 1-Insert the
STIFFENING BEAM assembly onto “pre-installed” BOLT FOR CUBE and NUT assembly
using the provided hardware (bolt, washers, and nut). Holding the threaded
rods’ very end, slide the beam underneath the system starting from the rear.
Ensure installing the beams at the front and making your way to the back with
the subsequent beams if needed.
2-Once aligned, secure the beam to the BOLT FOR CUBE with the hardware kit
supplied with the bars. Insert the threaded rods through the BOLT FOR CUBE and
manually engage the washers, lock washers, and nuts.
3-Complete installation by adjusting the beam’s positions to be perfectly
perpendicular to the JETSLIDE(S). The over-tightening of the stabilizer bars
may exert undue pressure on the tabs and cause damages to the JETSLIDE(S).
TIP
-The number of STIFFENING BEAMS needed for a specific configuration may be estimated with the below ratio:
(1x) STIFFENING BEAM FOR EVERY 455kg (1000lbs) OF THE VESSEL’S WEIGHT.
Example: A boat of 910kg (2000lbs) “wet weight” requires (2x) STIFFENING
BEAMS.

overall size of the system needed for a specific boat while keeping the cost
as low as possible. To secure the EXTENSION PLATE, we use modified BOLTS FOR
CUBE to remove the “locking ribs.” It allows for the BOLTS FOR CUBE to be used
as regular “bolts.” When modified, these bolts are named BOLT FOR JETSLIDE.
*Once installed, the plate may slightly deform. This deformation is expected and normal.
**Please note that the surface of the safety plate can be slippery.
PROCEDURE
1- Insert SLIDING NUT on all cube tabs that are supporting the EXTENSION PLATE.
2- Place all needed SPACERS if the tab configuration creates a void in the assembly, starting from the lowest available tab to the highest. Make sure the EXTENSION PLATE is leveled.

PWC JETSLIDE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDELINES
The following section is also essential to Candock. The configuration of a PWC Jetslide system is of the utmost importance to ensure its optimal durability and performance. Following the below recommendations and guidelines is critical for your product to perform as we intend.
There are several sizes and models, so the below configurations may have to be modified on a case-by-case basis. Please contact a Candock representative in the event you wish to alter the below configurations.
1 IDEAL CONFIGURATION
2 ALTERNATE CONFIGURATION
3.86m (12.67′)
3.38m (11.08′)
1.93m (6.33′)
1.93m (6.33′)
IMPORTANT NOTIONS
-Always keep the system symmetrical left/right. -In doubt, please refer to your Candock representative. -For multiple units assembled, we advocate 2 rows of cubes in between each JETSLIDE. Using only 1 row of cubes between each JETSLIDE is also possible but be aware of possible injuries or machine damages. As space between the machines is limited, there are potential risks of impacts with surrounding objects or users.
79
PWC JETSLIDE SYSTEM ANCHORING GUIDELINES
The following configurations are showcased to help determine the best scenario
for each situation. Numerous factors influence the exact suggested layout, so
the following proposed layouts must not be taken integrally. Modifications and
altering of these are highly probable. Please contact a Candock representative
to gather clarification and validation on the below configurations.
The below section is segmented as per our anchoring accessories/techniques
categories. Note that combinations of multiple techniques may apply, and some
alterations of the below accessories/techniques may also be involved in the
process. The below list aims at covering as many of the possible scenarios. If
the JetSlide system is secured against another floating or fixed structure
(another Candock system, a standard floating dock, a fixed dock, or seawall),
this “other” structure must be adequately anchored or fixed in place to
withstand the torque applied by the addition of the JetSlide system.
It is also probable that in the event of a regular “POST CUBE AND PILES”
anchoring technique, additional accessories may be required to secure the
piles’ upper section onto another fixed structure. In this case, the POST
CUBES location may be changed to accommodate the needed bracket and hardware.
Additionally, the POST CUBES may also be substituted with our HDPE PILE GUIDE
FOR 2 7/8 `’ STEEL PILE if the situation allows.

BOAT JETSLIDE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDELINES
The following section is also essential to Candock. Indeed, the configuration
of a BOAT Jetslide system is of the utmost importance to ensure its optimal
durability and performance. Following the below recommendations and guidelines
is vital for your product to perform as we intend. There are several sizes and
models, so the below configurations may have to be modified on a case-by-case
basis. Please contact a Candock representative to help in determining a valid
and approved configuration for your vessel. To better help our customers, we
have elaborated a comprehensive chart that helps determine a specific vessel’s
needed layout while considering the 2 most important variables, length, and
weight.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
-Maximal boat’s weight capacity of Candock’s JETSLIDE system is 1360kg (3000lbs), including hull, engine, fuel, and equipment. -Vessels with V-Drive and Direct-Drive engine layouts are not compatible with the JETSLIDE’s system. -Vessels with “step-hull” designs are not compatible with the JETSLIDE’s system. -Pontoon boats are not compatible with the JETSLIDE’s system.

JETROLL DRY-DOCK SYSTEM
JETROLL SYSTEM BASIC CONCEPTS
The JETROLL dry-dock system is a single-piece unit that is specially designed
to accommodate PWC’s. Consisted of a single piece of medium density
polyethylene, with 100% of its interior filled with expanded polystyrene, the
JETROLL is virtually unsinkable. In opposition with the JETSLIDE, the JETROLL
is equipped with 12 nylon wheels on stainless steel shafts, allowing for even
easier berthing and unberthing maneuvers. Furthermore, as it requires
virtually no assembly, it offers advantages that are not to be neglected.
Depending on the environment and the PWC, Candock will determine the proper
anchoring layout.
There are some basic yet, essential rules and premises to ensure a functional
system: 1- CANDOCK’S PROPOSED ANCHORING CONFIGURATION SHOULDN’T BE ALTERED IN
ANY WAYS. 2- USERS MUST MASTER MANEUVERS IMPLIED WITH SUCH A SYSTEM. 3-CANDOCK
IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING OF THE NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES.

HOLE CAP GRAY: C02-000011 WHEELS KIT: C02-000012
TERMINOLOGY
JETROLL TABS: (4x) prominent threaded openings that are on the front of the
JETROLL; which are located under tab “0” and under “-2”. The 2 outside tabs
are the lowest (under “-2”), and the 2 center ones are the highest (under
“0”). This particularity allows for our EDGE cubes to be merged at the front
of the JETROLL. As opposed to our regular CUBE coupling system, which requires
the addition of a SLIDING NUT at the bottom of a connection point so that the
CONNECTING PIN can have traction in the threads, the JETROLL also has its
threads inside the tabs. PLUGS: These watertight plugs are always found in the
front part of the JETROLL. These plugs, made of a breathable material, act as
pressure release valves preventing JETROLL’s deformation due to temperature
changes and pressure variations. Furthermore, these plugs prevent any
condensation inside the JETROLL.
84
WHEELS & PLASTIC WASHERS: (12x) plastic and polyurethane wheels and (24x)
nylon washers that can be positioned in numerous configurations to ensure an
optimal fit with any PWC on the market. Include (1x) small nylon washer on
each side of each wheel for a total of (24x) for each JetRoll. SHAFTS: (12x)
stainless shafts that allow for smooth rolling motion of the wheels. BOW-STOP:
Molded plastic piece positioned at the front of the JETROLL to help prevent
the PWC from exceeding the front of the system during berthing maneuvers. HOLE
CAP: A molded plastic piece that can be “snapped-on” into the circular
openings on the 4 corners of the JETROLL. Depending on the adequate anchoring
layout and accessories, these are to be inserted in the remaining openings to
prevent a trip hazard.
OVERVIEW
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 1-Assemble on a flat surface rather than on the water.
PROCEDURE: 1-Prepare the needed parts around your JETROLL (2 HOLE CAPS, 1 BOW-
STOP, and 12 WHEELS AND SHAFTS). 2-Determine the location of the 12 wheels.
Ideally, Candock suggests using the featured pre-set (above image). The goal
is to create a lower area to create a cradle for the machine to rest in the
system’s middle. Especially after/during berthing maneuvers, this lowercenter
geometry is to prevent the PWC from rolling back in the water by itself.
3-Using the rubber mallet, hammer down on the wheel and shaft assembly with a
single stroke motion, directly on the wheel. 4-Secure the BOW-STOP using the
provided hardware. Brass inserts are already casted in the plastic of the
unit. 5- If needed, using the rubber mallet, hammer down HOLE-CAPS in the
proper locations.
OPERATING A WATER-CRAFT WITH THE JETROLL 85
IMPORTANT NOTICE The water depth at the back of the JETROLL must be at least
1m (3.3′) to avoid potential damage to the PWC turbine. GOING UP THE SYSTEM
Approach the JETROLL at idle, keeping the craft straight and centered with the
JETROLL. When the craft’s bow is in contact with the JETROLL, give small
throttle strokes to make the craft align with the JETROLL. When the craft is
in line with the JETROLL, throttle in slowly. After a few tries, you will
develop a feel of how much throttle you must use to reach the final position
on the JETROLL. NOTE: It is recommended to secure the craft to the BOW-STOP’s
eyelet to prevent the PWC from rolling back into the water accidentally. GOING
DOWN THE SYSTEM To go back into the water, initiate the procedure by pushing
the PWC backward of 30-60cm (1′ to 2′) to bring the machine’s weight towards
the back of the system. Then, stand up at the back of your PWC, grab the
seat’s handle, and transfer your weight backward. The easiest way to push the
PWC backward is to grab the PWC’s nose in one hand and the handle with the
other and then push gently. Be vigilant because, at some point, your PWC will
want to go down by itself. At this point, you will have to promptly get on the
machine if you do not want your watercraft in the water without you. WARNINGS
& SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS 1- For all JETROLL systems, the surrounding
environments must not be subjected to waves of more than 60cm (24”). We
recommend installing a JETROLL system in a protected area. 2-Surfaces can be
slippery when the system is wet. 3-All PWC’s must be brought entirely to the
front of the JETSLIDE at all times.

OVERVIEW
The addition of LINK KITS between multiple JETROLLS may be suggested or
mandatory depending on the environment and conditions the systems are to be
installed in. Please refer to your Candock distributor to know if LINK KITS
should be included on your system. The addition of LINK KITS provides a
stiffer assembly and prevents the JETROLLS from moving/sinking independently.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION Position the JETROLLS in the water at their final
location before installing the LINK KITS One person should be standing on the
JETROLLS with one tool, and the other person should be in the water with the
other tool to hold the “bottom” hardware.
87
PROCEDURE: 1-Position the upper and lower links onto the JETROLL connection
point.
2-Insert threaded rods with washers from the top.
3-Place and hold the lower link underneath the JETROLLS

HEAD: Upper part of the CONNECTING PINS designed with a flat and anti-skid
surface. NOTCH: Manufactured recess in the pin’s head that allows the tool to
insert the key for screwing and unscrewing. SHAFT: The male part of our
coupling system, the extended threaded shaft, is inserted in the JETROLL’s
front tabs.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1-Initiate the rotating process by hand.
2-When the CONNECTING PIN has access to the JETROLL’s tab threads, proceed by
screwing manually or mechanically with the proper tools.
3-Make sure to securely tighten the CONNECTING PINS until snug, without over-
tightening them.
TIPS
1-When initially inserting the CONNECTING PINS in place, you might want to
firmly “tap” the pin in place. Ensure a firm “initial” grip of the shaft
threads into the tabs. This “tap” helps you get the pin through the cube’s
tabs resting on top of the JETROLL’s tabs.
2-Once the assembly process is completed, align the NOTCHES of the CONNECTING
PINS using the manual key. This simple operation allows to quickly locate any
CONNECTING PINS which could have unscrewed over time.
3-Always proceed with caution if using a power drill to fasten the CONNECTING
PINS; the drill can tend to “kick”. Use protective footwear. If using a power
drill to unscrew pins, always loosen-up the pins manually before using the
drill.
4- Never use an `’impact tool” to fasten the connecting pins as you will most
likely damage the connecting pins as well as the assembly key for drill.

PWC JETROLL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDELINES
The following section is also essential to Candock. The configuration of a PWC
JetRoll system is of the utmost importance to ensure its optimal durability
and performance. Following the below recommendations and guidelines is vital
for your product to perform as we intend. There are several sizes and models
of PWCs, so the below configurations may have to be modified on a case-by-case
basis. Please contact a Candock representative in the event you wish to alter
the below configurations.
IMPORTANT NOTIONS
-Always keep the rear (entry point) of the JETROLL free for it to sink freely when the PWC is climbing onto the system. -For multiple units assembled, LINK KITS may or may not be suggested. The overall exposure and application influence the inclusion or exclusion of LINK KITS. Always refer to your Candock representative for guidance. -Upon completion of an installation, HOLE CAPS or LINK KITS are mandatory in all 4 pile openings of the JETROLL(s) to ensure a safe and “trip-hazard-free” environment. -BOW STOPS are mandatory on all JETROLL installations -The inclusion of 12 wheels is mandatory on all JETROLL installations -The ideal wheel configuration may vary depending on the hull’s shape and machine size.

GANGWAYS BASIC CONCEPTS AND CONFIGURATION GUIDELINES
The Candock aluminum access ramps (gangways) allows for a tailored transition
passage from your shoreline to your Candock system. All our gangways consist
of an assembly of multiple components. A proper analysis of the environment,
the dock’s application, and your specific needs and requirements will
determine the gangway configuration and its components. Please contact a
Candock representative for more information. Several widths, lengths, and
gages are available to suit most of the possible scenarios. The categories of
accessories can be classified as follow:
1-SHORE-END ACCESSORIES 2-GANGWAY FRAMES AND RAMP ACCESSORIES 3-DOCK-END
