For the installation and storage of your dock, you will need the following tools.
Make sure to drive the poles at least 2 feet into the ground for optimal stability. Choose a flat location with as few rocks as possible and before tightening the screws permanently, ensure that the dock is perfectly level.
The installation of floating docks is generally simpler. Ensure that the black acetal pivot rings are properly positioned in the hinges. Adjust and level the hinges before inserting the pintle to connect them. Once the pintle is inserted, make sure to firmly drive in the pin.
It is crucial to cross the chains to ensure increased stability. To check the correct angle, pull one chain to one side of the dock diagonally. Then install the chain under the dock, passing it behind the chain plate.
Document your accessories and tools by taking photos to facilitate their installation at the beginning of the season. Only remove necessary accessories during storage.
The water level is typically higher at the beginning of the season. Regularly check the tension of the chain and ensure there is some possible movement from left to right.
The poles must be completely removed for the winter.
Remove the accessories and disconnect the chains. Use yellow floating rope to tie them, allowing for easy retrieval in the spring. Disconnect the docks and secure the pintles in the hinges.
Remove the dock from the water and store it on level ground on dry land. Use planks with a winch to facilitate removal if necessary. Find a location with the fewest possible obstacles to avoid any damage.
If unable to remove the dock from the water, tie it to trees on the shore with 3 ropes per dock for optimal securing.
