Garelick 19250 SWINGER PONTOON LADDER - Manual (Page 2)

Refer to Fig. 4
9. Mount the standoff bar (F) to the ladder by locating a
point where it abuts the pontoon log below its major
diameter. This will force the standoff to remain in the open
position when the ladder is in use. Check to make sure
there is enough clearance to fold the standoff bar flat to
the ladder verticals for stowage without contacting a step.
NOTE:
If you are unable to position the standoff below the
centerline of the pontoon and you must position the
standoff above the centerline, then reverse the standoff so
it folds down instead of up. This will force the standoff to
remain in the open position when the ladder is in use.
10. Drill a crosshole through the ladder with a 17/64"
diameter bit at the point where the standoff’s pivot hole
contacts the ladder vertical. Secure the standoff in place
with a screw (B) and locknut (C).
Refer to Fig. 1
12. Place the ladder in the “UP” and “STORED” position.
13. Locate the securing strap (H) in a place where it will be
easy to attach and remove.
IF TRAILERING YOUR BOAT, MAKE SURE THE LADDER IS
TIED SECURELY IN PLACE WITH AN ADDITIONAL LINE
OR STRAP FOR ADDED SAFETY.
