STEP 2: FLUME ASSEMBLY

Starting with the exit section, assemble the slide on the ground, right side

up along actual pathway where the slide will reside (be careful not to FIG. 2

scratch the slide). Attach the exit section anchor support, followed by the

next flume section in the correct order of the slide pathway.To help identify

F’s

the flume sections for the correct order of assembly, there are stickers

E’s

attached at each flange end of each flume section. For example, attach the

letter A end of the exit section to the letter A end of the next flume section

STEP 2: FLUME ASSEMBLY – Continued
TIPS:
· Make sure to use Anti-Seize on all bolts.
· Be careful not to allow dirt to get into the water delivery system on the entry section.
· Gasket end of each flume section goes downhill.
· The Entry Frame Support bolts to the inside of the Entry Section.There are three 3/8″ bolts, one on each side, and one in the center.
· Anchor supports attach to the down slope side of the flange. (Fig. 3)
· Each flange has 7 bolts (Kit BYOS2-102-SS). All bolts are 3/8″ x 1-3/4″. Use Anti-Seize (in BYOS2-101-SS) on all bolts.
· Insert bolts in this order: bolt, flat washer, flanges, flat washer, lock washer, nut. On flanges that require anchor supports insert bolts in this order: bolt, flat washer, flanges, anchor support, flat washer, lock washer, and nut.
· Insert and hand tighten all seven flange bolts.Then, utilizing a torque wrench, tighten each nut to approximately half of the maximum 25 ft. lbs. Tighten the blots in an alternating fashion working from left to right starting with the center bolt, working your way up the flange (Fig. 3). Repeat this same tightening process until the specified 25 ft lbs is reached on each bolt. Do not over tighten. Using greater force may fracture the fiberglass.Tightening the bolts in this sequence is necessary to compress the gasket evenly.

STEP 3: ENTRY SECTION ANCHOR ASSEMBLY
Attach handrails first. Handrails are directional; the side with the 2 bends faces away from the pool. (Fig. 4)
The River Run Frame Support consists of 1 entry frame support, 1 right support arm and 1 left support arm. The assembly is attached to the River Run Entry Section with the hardware kit BYOS2-101-SS. (Fig. 5)
Carefully turn the River Run Entry Section upside down (on cardboard) and sit the anchor upright into position as shown. (Fig. 6 & 7)
Using 4 each 3/8″x1″ bolts, attach the anchor to the entry section. Use a flat washer on each side of the part and anchor. Pass the bolt through from the outside of part toward the underside and add a lock washer and a nut to each bolt. Hand tighten only. Attach next flume section after entry and 20° anchor on the downhill side of assembly.
Attach right and left arms as shown. The arms are attached at this point only to the entry frame support using 2 each 3/8″x1″ bolts with flat washers, lock washers and nuts. Hand tighten only. NOTE: The other end of the right and left arms attach to the 20° anchor as shown in Fig. 8 & 9. Hand tighten only.

STEP 6: EXCAVATE THE HOLES
Pier holes for the 20° flume anchor supports should be a minimum of 12″ long, 24″ wide and 24″ deep, or minimum 18″ diameter tube.

WARNING

The above specified sizes for the concrete piers represent a minimum and should be increased due to local weather, soil conditions, frost line and/or local building codes. Anchor supports shall be bonded. Refer to your local building/electrical code requirements.

STEP 7: RESET THE RIVER RUN IN POSITION
Ensure sufficient blocking material is on hand, then utilizing sufficient manpower; lift the assembled slide back into its correct horizontal and vertical position and block in place.
At this point, the anchor supports should be directly over, centered and within the holes for the piers or tubes, adjust hole location as necessary at this time.The angle iron cross member will be approximately 4″ below final concrete grade for correct anchor embedment depth. (See Fig. 14) NOTE: It is essential that the vertical portions of the anchors are plumb.
With the exception of the exit section landing plate (Fig. 1), make sure that a minimum 3 inch clearance is maintained between any por tion of the underside of the slide (including the flanges) and the substrate. Based on the slider’s weight and velocity the slide can move slightly both vertically and horizontally. If the slide rubs upon the substrate due to this motion a wear spot and/or leak can develop.

STEP 8: FINAL SLIDE POSITION
It is essential that the slide be in its correct horizontal and vertical position prior to pouring concrete; and since the pool cannot be moved, star t checking position with the exit section first. Starting with and then ensuring that the exit section is installed correctly is absolutely necessary for a successful installation.
The exit section must meet the pool edge at the correct elevation, in the correct orientation and be level in both axes. (Fig. 16 & Fig. 17) When determining level position for the exit section please note that the exit section star ts with a 20° up slope, which then makes a gradual transition to 7° the exit point. Check for level position only as illustrated below.

EXIT IS 7° WHEN CORRECT.

FIG. 16

FIG. 17

Utilize an angle finder along the centerline of the flume ensure the flume is at the correct angle. Check the angle along the centerline of the flume only. (Fig. 18) (Continued on next page)

FIG. 18

I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S T RU C T I O N S

RIVER RUN SLIDE

STEP 8: FINAL SLIDE POSITION – Continued When checking for the correct flume angle keep the below in mind:
· Each slide section is identified on the underside. · The exit section starts at 20° on the up slope end which then makes a gradual transition to 7° at the exit point. · The entry section seating area is almost flat, however, for proper drainage it incorporates a slight downhill
slope which transitions to a full 20°. To ensure correct placement of the entry section the entry frame support must be level to ensure correct orientation of the slide. (Fig. 19 & 20)

FIG. 19

FIG. 20

FIG. 21

FIG. 22

The sides of the flumes should be checked for level as well.The only place along the flume where level positions can be determined is at the flange/gasket locations. Place level across the flume at the flume joint as illustrated. (Fig. 21 & 22) Check each flange location for level position, adjust as necessary.

TIPS FOR SETTING THE SLIDE IN FINAL POSITION:
· It may take a series of adjustments to get the slide in its correct position. · At this point the entire slide should be assembled, anchor supports attached and all bolts correctly tighten.
The slide should be blocked up in its approximate horizontal and vertical position. (Continued on next page)

STEP 8: FINAL SLIDE POSITION – Continued
TIPS FOR SETTING THE SLIDE IN FINAL POSITION – Continued
· Now, put exit section is in its correct horizontal and vertical position relative to the pool edge by adjusting the blocks.
· Then, start at the top of the slide and work down using an angle finder along the center of the flume, adjust the blocks to achieve the correct angle for the flume.
· Once the angle for the flume is set correctly, re-check the position of the exit section for alignment and height above water, adjust as necessary.
· Then, start at the top of the slide and work down, adjust the blocking materials to level the flume from side to side.
· Once the flume is level from side to side, re-check the position of exit section for alignment and height above water, adjust as necessary.
· Repeat this process until the entire slide is correctly positioned.
STEP 9: POUR CONCRETE PIERS Once the correct horizontal and vertical position of the slide has been established and verified, pour the concrete around anchor supports and allow to cure.
STEP 10: CONNECT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM The River Run slide can be plumbed with rigid 1″ PVC pipe or with 1″ Flex PVC, you may find that Flex PVC works best.
Glue and slip pipe into the 1″ female fittings on the underside of the Entry section. (Fig. 23 & 24) Use PVC primer and glue (not included) as required.
The River Run has two water delivery units.A ball is valve recommended on each side to evenly adjust the water flow.

RIVER RUNTM SLIDE CARE & MAINTENANCE:
Your River Run slide requires periodic maintenance to keep it looking like new and protected from the elements.
· Wash slide monthly or more frequently if needed using a mild soap and soft brush cloth. Keep cleaning materials from entering pool. – Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleaches, chlorines, high alkaline or strong acidic cleaners. – Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, metal scrapers, Scotchbrite or other abrasive sponge pads.
· Keeping your slide’s gel coat finish coated with wax – starting when the slide is new – is the best way to prolong its life. – Choose a wax intended for use on gel coat surfaces.Preferably one designed for use in a Marine environment. – Test product on small inconspicuouse section of slide prior to full application. – While application instructions will vary between brands of wax, in general you apply the wax with a cloth or foam pad using circular motion. Once wax dries to a haze, buff the excess with a soft dry cloth. – Routine waxing (at least twice a year) will maintain the smooth reflective surface of your slide.
