INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Float Assembly Basics

» Assemble on a flat surface—you can do it in the water or on an uneven surface but it will require more patience in getting
the tabs to align

» The tabs located on the floats are numbered 1-4. These numbers are represented by dots on the top of the floats.
Assemble floats so that you have number 1, 2, 3, and 4 coming together. (Exhibit A, page 3)

» Plan your assembly so that the same tab numbers are always facing the same direction. Example: # 1 and # 4 lugs are
all pointing to the shore. This will minimize the need for spacers.

» Floats must all point in the same direction when bolted together and make sure the tabs
are in the proper sequence on all sides before inserting pins. The top edges of the floats
will be level and even when correctly aligned (except for the V-channel).

NOTE: With some dock shapes you will have a gap where a number 1 and 4 meet
Insert a spacer in the place of your number 2 and 3 tab or invert the sliding nut.

Attaching Sliding Nuts
» Attaching the sliding nut on the bottom tab (typically #1). The sliding nut slips over the
ridges in the tabs on the bottom-most tab of the floats as shown on the left

NOT OVERTIGHTEN

NOTE: For easier assembly of connecting pins — dip the pin in soapy water to wet
@ the threads

Installing Lug Connectors
» Lastly install your lug connectors, bumpers and cleats. For maximum rigidity;
lug connectors, bumpers or cleats should be installed around perimeter of dock
While lugs are optional for most docks, It is necessary for all PVC V-Berth docks

Tool » The Exterior Lug Connector uses the
sliding nuts the same as the grey

Connecting Pins.

v

When installing a lug connector on a 1-4 tab set, you must place a spacer in the gap
so that when you tighten the nut, it will keep the dock connections level. You can
also invert the sliding nut on the #1 tab to create the same effect as a spacer

» The lug connector has 2 little tabs in the center channel to allow it to be
tightened. Use the end of the economy tool as shown at right to tighten each lug
connector.

 

» The exterior lug connector is the most common connector for securing the
exterior tabs on the floats. These connectors are used for each set of exterior Fh tol
tabs on the PWC docks but are only needed for every other set of tabs on the SESE SsOnomy-100
boat docks.
