INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Storm or Rough Water Conditions

>

Your VersaDock system is designed to be used and installed in normal calm water conditions. Special care must be
taken to protect the dock and watercraft in rough water or storm conditions.

When a storm surge or extreme high tide is possible—make sure that any connections to a fixed dock such as chain
around pilings, are removed if they pose a potential problem. A floating VersaDock rising above a cross member on a
fixed dock can cause damage to either the VersaDock or the fixed dock. Replace these chains with lines that allow the
dock to rise and fall in a safe location and position.

Tie extra lines to the dock to account for broken attachment points, pilings, etc or for the dock to rise above the poles that
are attaching the dock.. Tie these lines through the exterior lug connectors and tabs. The light duty cleat is not sufficient
to handle these types of loads.

Secure your watercraft - tie the watercraft from all possible directions. DO NOT USE THE WINCH SYSTEM AS A TIE-
DOWN. Failure to secure the craft from multiple angles can allow wave action from the rear of the dock to cause the
watercraft to ride up on the dock and hit the winch causing substantial damage. Waves from the side could cause a
watercraft to come off the dock sideways causing substantial damage.

> If you have questions regarding storm preparation, please contact your VersaDock dealer or representative well in
advance of a predicted storm so that you can take adequate precautions.
>» Make sure that you immediately check the dock and attachments after the storm to ensure that everything is in proper
working order and conditions. If you have any questions, please call your VersaDock representative.
Winter Preparation
>» In most cases your VersaDock can be left in the water over the winter.
> If you have a mild ice shift—you can simply pull the poles and use line or chains to secure your VersaDock to the shore

to account for ice and the melting water rise in the spring
In the case of rough water and major ice shift areas, you should remove your dock to a safe location on shore.

VersaDock is not responsible for damage to the dock or property caused by ice shifts or strong spring currents during the
thaw.

How to Care for Your Dock

>

Caring for your VersaDock requires little maintenance. Just hose the dock off, using a brush and a mild environmentally
friendly detergent when necessary.

Check all anchorage points and watercraft storage positions at regular intervals. Take special care to inspect the dock
prior to predicted storms and prior to your regions storm season.
