1 We recommend you level your shoreline with Blocks. Level shoreline Blocks will stabilize your dock and ensure a good start. While on shore, install Brackets on section (refer to dock layout and bracket installation sheets for correct bracket location and installation). We recommend the use of sawhorses or other suitable level work area for hardware installation. When installing Brackets for a tee section, measure correct distance of mating docks (standard width is 47-3/4”).

5 Loosen Bracket Adjusting Bolt (5a) and let Post slide down to the bottom of the lake (5b). Once dock is at desired height (12” is recommended) (5c), tighten Bracket Adjusting Bolt (repeat this step for each Bracket) (5d). Repeat steps 2-5 for each dock section to be installed. Note: Refer to dock layout for proper dock configuration.

6 If using Auger Feet, slide the Footpad up to desired depth (Footpad depth depends on bottom surfaces such as hard, soft, or rocky conditions, etc.) (6a) and tighten Bolt at the top of the Footpad to secure its position (6b). Position the Auger at the bottom of the Post (6c). Once in position, tighten the two Bolts on the Auger Foot until they are secure (6d). Slide Post down until the Auger touches the bottom of the lake (6e).

9 Install Post Bumpers (optional), and refer to available option sheet for bumper installation instructions (9a). Install all Safety Caps onto each post (9b). Note: If your dock settles or if water level fluctuates, the leveling operation should be done without removing L pins. When mooring your crafts at docks, replace 1/2-13x2-1/4” bolts with 1/2-13x3” eye bolts where needed (do not use L pin holes). Mark each dock section to make next spring’s installation easy.
