3 Step 1 Place the dock section upside down on a soft surface or wood blocks to ensure the deck surface doesn t get scratched. Slide a 1/2 aluminum nut into the track of each leg pocket. (FIG. 1A) Thread the knob bolt in through the leg pocket and into the nut. Do not fully tighten knob bolt at this time.

Both Leg Kits on one side for a sundeck. Page 3

4 Step 2 Insert a leg into each Leg Pocket as shown in FIG. 2A (note the orientation of the stop blocks welded to the front and rear of the leg in FIG. 2A). Rocking the leg assembly while hand tightening the knob bolt will help to ensure that the leg is seated and the knob bolt is adequately tightened. Note if the leg moves in the pocket, the knob bolt needs to be tightened further. Do not use any tools on the knob bolt. Slide a Brace Clamp over the leg with the tab toward the center of the dock as shown in 2B and insert (2) 3/8 x 4 hex head bolts, (4) 3/8 stainless steel flat washers and (2) 3/8 nylock nuts. Do not tighten at this time. 3/8 x 4 stainless steel hex head bolt 3/8 stainless steel washer 3/8 aluminum nylock nut Brace clamp Stop Block FIG. 2A FIG. 2B Step 3 Attach the (2) V-Braces to the Center V-Brace Mount using the (2) Safety Snap Pins. Adjust the V-brace Bracket Leg up or down the leg to allow the installation of the (2) 3/8 x 1-3/4 hex head bolt, (4) 3/8 stainless steel flat washers and (2) 3/8 nylock nuts as shown in FIG. 4. Do not over tighten and crush the V-Brace. At this time, tighten the 3/8 x 4 bolt and nut on the V-brace Bracket Clamp installed in Step 3.

5 Note As of Sept. 2017, V-Braces are welded to dock sections and do not need to be mounted. Prior to Sept. 2017, V-Braces were not welded in and need to be mounted. FOR INSTALLING new wheel kits ON pre-sept docks, KIT # IS NECESSARY. Instructions for these older docks is below. V-Brace installation for docks prior to September 2017 Attach the two Center V-Brace Mounts to each side of the center frame between the two leg pockets using (2) 3/8 x 2 hex head bolts and (2) 3/8 nylock nuts as shown in Fig. B & C For a sundeck, attach each V-Brace Mount to opposite ends of the same frame beam as shown in Fig. C Torque to 20ft lbs. center v-brace mount 3/8 aluminum nylock nut 3/8 x 2 stainless steel hex head bolt Fig. A Fig. B Straight dock Fig. C sundeck / slip V-brace mount Location Page 5

7 Step 5 (continued) Quick Connects have two different sides to accommodate straight lined docks and sundecks/slips. (FIG. 6B) For sundeck and slip applications, the Quick Connect must be positioned as shown in FIG. 6C. TORQUE TO 20 FT.LBS. WARNING: Incorrect orientation of the Quick Connects will produce a large gap between the two dock sections and create a possible pinch hazard if the dock sections become out of level Sundecks are generally mounted off the side of a straight dock. If the sundeck is attached to the end (FIG. 6D), the first sundeck section will require 3 legs. FIG. 5B FIG. 5C sundeck sundeck and slip orientation of quick connect FIG. 5D 3 legs Page 7

8 Step 5 (continued) For some standard sectional dock configurations, it may be necessary to drill additional holes for the Quick Connects. In such cases, the holes are positioned 43-1/16 apart and 1-3/4 up from the bottom of the frame. The Quick Connect can be used as a drill guide to achieve the proper hole height. FIG. 5E torque to 20 ft/lbs. For Quick Attach Sectional docks, hook Quick Connect onto dock and insert set bolt. TORQUE TO 5 FT/LBS MAXIMUM. FIG. 5F leveling the dock Remove the plastic caps from the adjustment holes. Using FLOE SPEED WRENCH, a 1-1/8 socket and wrench, or a cordless drill with a socket and socket adaptor, adjust the height of the dock so the deck surface is approximately 16 above the water. SEE WARNINGS BELOW! Turn the adjuster nut on the top of the dock clockwise to lower and counter clockwise to raise. Use a level to make sure all dock surfaces are level. Once the dock is set in place and leveled, insert the plastic caps into the adjustment holes. Page 8
