INSTALLED TYPHOON STRUCTURAL & INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Installer to review with slide owner upon completion of slide installation.

1. Inspect the runway for visible cracks or tears.

2. Inspect the ladder for sharp edges, protrusions, cracks, or tears.

3. Inspect all fasteners to make sure they are fully tightened.

4. Inspect the ladder for rigidity and attachment.

5. Measure the following dimensions and compare with the manufacturer’s placement instructions on

page 16.

•Pool water depth at the base of the slide should be at least 3’ (914 mm) deep, and at 4’6”

(1372 mm) out from slide exit, should be at least 4’6” (1372 mm) deep.

•The height of the slide runway exit above the water should be 20” (508 mm) maximum.

•The distance between the slide centerline and the edge of other pool equipment should be at

least 3’6” (1067 mm).

6. Observe the position of the exit of the slide as shown in FIGURE M, FIGURE N, and FIGURE P on

pages 16 and 17.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1. When hosing down the deck, hose your Typhoon to wash away any dust, dirt or other debris, which

may have accumulated.

2. Be sure that all connections are secure. Tighten hardware if necessary.

3. All polyethylene parts require little maintenance. Hose and wipe to clean.

While cleaning slide, check and see that all nuts and bolts are tight and secure.

4. Inspect the runway for visible cracks or tears, sharp edges and protrusions.

5. Inspect all attachment points for loose or corroded fasteners.

6. Inspect all ladder tread or step-attachment points for evidence of shear, bending yield, or fatigue in

the ladder steps, rails, or attachments means. Yield is evidenced by crystallization or fine cracking of

the ladder tread and/or surface.

Gasket Installation

•Most of the gasket material has been installed at the factory, however additional gasket has been

provided in case any gasket has fallen off during shipping. If gasket installation is required, follow

the instructions below. The gasket on the face of the ladder is not installed in the factory, but

detailed instructions are provided in step 8 on page 11.

•Apply gasket (PN 8-532) in the required locations as shown in the figures below.

•Place gasket along the section to determine the length needed.

•Cut gasket to appropriate length.

•Remove backing and adhere gasket to slide.

•All gaskets below are applied as shown in the gasket section detail (see step 8 for further details

on installing the ladder gasket, PN 8-531)

FIGURE B

NOTE:

BE SURE TO APPLY ANTI-SEIZE TO ALL

FASTENERS TO PREVENT GALLING.

NOTE: Use pistol-grip clamps as

necessary to align the molded parts.

Typhoon Assembly

Before getting started:

•To prevent damage to the parts during assembly, it is recommended that cardboard or

some other protective barrier is laid down on the ground where the slide is to be

assembled.

•Verify that the gasket material is affixed to the slide parts as shown on page 6

•During assembly, be sure to apply a thin coat of anti-seize compound to the threads of all

fasteners. Anti-seize helps aid in assembly, prevents galling, and improves corrosion

resistance.

1. Assemble the pedestal part to the runway exit section as shown in FIGURE C. Attach the

pedestal part to the runway exit section by inserting the two lag screws into the holes located in

the bottom of the pedestal.

2. Before inserting the lag bolts into the side of the runway exit part, 1/4” (6 mm) pilot holes must be

drilled into the center of each of the recesses. The pilot holes should be drilled through both the

runway exit section and into the pedestal.

3. Place the assembled runway exit section and pedestal upright so that the pedestal is resting on

the ground.

FIGURE C

Notes: It may take more than one person to perform this step. Verify that the gasket material

is properly attached before assembling the parts.

4. Insert the threaded studs into each of the threaded inserts as shown in FIGURE D. The studs

should be screwed in by hand until they reach the bottom of the insert. If the studs cannot be

threaded in by hand, pliers may be used. Before using pliers, a piece of cloth should be placed

over the stud to protect the threads from damage. .

5. Assemble the top ladder section to the lower ladder section as shown in FIGURE E. Insert the

two button head cap screws into the threaded inserts as shown in FIGURE E. Do not fully

tighten the screws at this point; just get the screws started into the threaded inserts.

6. Insert the button head cap screws into the back side of the ladder as shown in FIGURE F.

Tighten the screws until snug. Go back and fully tighten the screws from Step 7.

7. Insert the two carriage bolts into the steps as shown in FIGURE E. Tighten the nuts onto the

carriage bolt until the lock washer is fully compressed.
