Attach D-Ring Clip to Deck
Hardware for attaching the D-ring-clips to the pool deck HAS NOT
been supplied due to the wide variety of deck types and materials.
Please consult with your local hardware store or pool service
company to make the appropriate selection. We
suggest 1/4" stainless steel pan-head screws 1.25" long into
a masonry anchor. |
| |
| There is no "one" right way
to attach the clips; however, we suggest that you: |
| |
a. Find a spot visible from all parts
of the pool, with minimal deck traffic and activity--this could
be next to built in steps (as a training mechanism), farther
down the pool sidewall, or beside the skimmer basket, but do
not block the skimmer basket with the ramp!
b. Screw the D-ring-clips into the deck
surface/coping, flat side down, using 1/4" stainless steel pan-head
screws 1.25" long into a masonry anchor. The anchors should be
positioned approximately 3-6" from the pool/deck edge, and approximately
10-11" apart assuring that the rope ends will be parallel when
tied through the D-ring clips.. |
| |
| Attach Ramp to D-Rings (Figure
B below) |
 |
 |
a. Run a rope end through the
mounted D-Ring
and pull/position the ramp snugly to the wall with about 3-5 of
the nose end under the recommended level of water (see Positioning
the Ramp). |
| |
| b. Thread the rope through one of the nylon
washers up to the D-ring opening and place a simple knot behind
it. The washer keeps the knot from pulling through the D-ring. |
| |
| Thread the Rope through the smaller
ramp holes in the ramp before installing: |
| |
 |
 |
For pools with any overhang
at the edge, thread the rope through the holes beneath
the Skamper-Ramp logo. Ensure that both sides of
the mounting rope are even. Tie a simple knot at each side of the
ramp to prevent the ramp from shifting when in use. |
| |
|
NOTE: For pools with a flush edge/coping, thread
the rope the the set of holes above the
Skamper logo.
Be sure the ramp "box" end fits snuggly underneath the
coping and flush against the vertical sidewall of the
pool.
Positioning the Ramp
Tighten the mounting ropes until the wing end swings against the
pool wall, so the nose end is 3-5 below the waterline and
the ramp is at an angle that is approximately 30 below horizontal.
Check tightness of the mounting rope by pressing firmly down on the
ramp near the wall. It should not deflect downward more that 2 to
4 inches.
Your Super Skamper-Ramp is now installed! Keep
in mind that it can be flipped out of the pool when you are swimming.
Just remember to flip it back in once you are out for the day.
