Once assembled, this system is designed to minimize the amount of flex occurring from stress and loads on the system. The rubber connections will stretch to help the system, and its attachments, absorb shock and extreme pr€ssures. Properly installed and maintained, this system will lasl for years of enjoyable use"

IMpORTANT! Assembly, lnstallation, Maintenance and Safety:

You should read these instructions thoroughly, before assembling and installing your EZ Dock.

Please adhere to all recommendations and cautionary suggestions appearing in this manual and al-ways follow the instruotions precisely. Please save these instructions and refer to them as needed for future reference.

A$SEMBLY OVERVIEW

become familiar with the installation instructions before beginning r Although most assembly instructions depict a 40" wide dock section, the same assembly meth-ods are used for the 60" and 80" wide docks.

r The layout should be planned before beginning to assemble the dock.

r Make sure the correct tools are available.

. The system may be assembled on the ground, on open water, or on a sufficiently thick ice sheet.

To make assembly easier, attach pairs of the dock sections together, before placing in the water.

Recommendations:

Attach as much hardware to dock sections as possible, before placing the sections in the water.

Whenever possible, connections should be made at the shoreline, and the dock should be pushed out into the water.

Tools and Requirements:

As with most assembly and installation projects, some tools are required to assemble and install your EZ Dock. You may not need every tool listed below for your particular installation, but the following tools are generally helpful in the installation process (for professional installation, call your local EZ Dock dealer):

ModellSerial Number You should register your EZ Dock product to ensure proper warranty coverage. The location of the serial number may be difficult or impossible to see once installed, so we suggest that you create a record of your serial numbers and corresponding dock sections to insure proper identi-fication when flling a warranty claim, The serial numbers can be found on the verlical side wall on the logo end of the dock sections. See photo below.

Site Preparation

Each EZ Dock installation is site specific and needs to be configured specifically for the end user's intended application. Sorne factors to take into consideration when determining the components nec-essary for a proper installation include; intended usage, water conditions, soil and bed conditions, and climatic conditions. Listed below are simple rules to follow.

Be certain that your installation configuration is designed to accommodate the daily intended use of your EZ Dock. Please take into account the following:

. Commercialapplicationneeds

. Public access requirements (ADA, CORP, or other) r Private docking needs . Scale of operation and use (size of boats, number of PWCs, number of people, etc.)

. Other special considerations affecting your daily use

Be aware of the unique characteristics of the specific body of water and consider how such conditions will affect the installation. Take into account:

. Overall area of the body of water r Water depth (at the shore and at the furthest point of the dock from shore) r Normal and greatest wave action r Waterlevelfluctuation . Fresh, brackish, or salt-water . Normal and extraordinary ice ihickness and movement . Lake bed and soil conditions (sand, rock, mud, etc.)

. Determine whether your installation will be attended to and inspected on a regular basis.

. Become acquainted with the normal movement associated with floating structures.

. Determine whether you are capable of performing your own installation or wheiher it is best to hire a professional.

$ites with severe wave conditions need to arrange docks so pylons are parallel to wave action and vent holes are facing inside to minimize excess water collecting in docks.

Coupler Installation (301100)

Helpful Hint: To make assemtrly and disassembling easier, rub a bar of hand soap on the coupler rods to lubricate them.

lnsert the composite coupler bolt into coupler. Align the mark on the head of the bolt so the splines line up into the notched pockets in the coupler.

Using a hammer, seat the bolt into the coupler.

lnstall coupler with seated bolt on the in-water installation tool.

4. Align dock sections so coupler pockets are adjacent to each other, and using the in-water in-stallation tool, insert the coupler and bolt assembly into the bottom pocket with the bolt pointing upward.

5. Pull up on the in-water installation toolto seat the bottom coupler. {NOTE: The dock sections must be setting level on the water and at the same elevation for the coupler to properly seat into the bottom pocket. Sometimes it is helpful to ballast the opposing ends of dock sections to keep the adjoining ends from dipping. This can be done by having someone stand on the opposite ends of each dock section, or by standing on an elevated beam or board (as shown) placed perpendicular to the dock section to span the seam being connected. When coupling seams together, it is recommended to start at the center of the seam and work to the edges.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE NUT!

Torque to 15 ft lbs.

A11 empty or un-used coupler pockets should be filled with an EZDockpocket filler (201030); see page 38.

4. While maintaining the proper depth, slide the tool between the dock sections until you reach the pocket to be connected.

5. Lift the tool upward while aligning the rod to come up between the opening through the pockets. The tool has a 112" hole on the long flat part of the handle that may be seen above the deck area and will indicate that the bottom coupler is properly in position. lnsert a rod or screwdriver into this hole to hold the tool and coupler in place while connecting top coupler.

6. Place top coupler into position, thread on coupler nut, and draw the connections together tig htly.

7. To release the installation tool, remove pin from hole and push down tool, sliding it between the docks and begin your next coupler installation.

Anchoring

Once you have selected your site and assembled the dock , the next step is to select the anchoring method best suited for your location. Since no two installations are ever exactly the same, each and every EZ Dock installation must be designed and configured for your specific application. Your local dealer can help you select the anchoring system that is right for your location. EZ Dock offers a wide variety of anchoring components which are simple to install and safe to use. Constructed of either poly-ethylene or steel {both of which are long lasting, durable materials that can range from light to heavy duty) lhey both provide a wide range of reliable options to construct a dock for nearly any use and wa-terscape.

$electing your Anchoring Method

EZ Dock provides a wide range of anchoring components to accommodate most water conditions and bottoms (deep, shallow, rough, or sandy). EZ Dock anchoring methods are sirnple to install and safe to use. Our anchoring products are made from long-lasting, durable materials that can accommodate from standard to heavy-duty demands.

r Pipe anchoring is typically used in most private and some light duty commercial applications.

r The deadweight method of anchoring is used with deeper water or rocky bottoms.

r Piling anchoring is very sirnilar to pipe anchoring in that the pilings are used to prevent the lateral movement of the dock. This method of anchoring is used in heavy duty commercial applications.

. Stiff-arm anchoring is a method of supporting the dock system by attachment to the shore or some other type ol rigid structure by poles or arms.

Pipe Anchoring

Pipe anchoring is our most popular type of anchoring using a small diameter pipe to provide the hori-zontal support necessary to keep the docks in place. The use of pipe will allow the docks to move up and down wilh most water fluctuations, and with little maintenance . lt includes a heavy-duty and a standard-duty pipe bracket that is typically used in most private and some light duty commercial instal-lations, The size and nurnber of pipe needed will be determined by conditions encountered.

Pipe is normally embedded or screwed into the bed of the body of water a distance of three to eight feet (roughly 114 to 113 the total length of the pipe). Wave action should not exceed three feet, and water depths should not exceed 12 feet for ihe 2-1 12" bracket or 1 B feet for the 3" bracket.

. Pipes can be used lo secure an EZ Port. When pipes are used they must be sufficiently embedded or screwed into the lake, river or ocean bed to a depth of at least three feet. The EZ Port will not hold the pipe upright, the pipe should remain vertical and hold the EZ Port in place.

. lt is recommended to use pipe augers, except in rocky or shale bottoms, to make installation easier.

Augers allow the pipe to be turned into the lake, river or ocean bed like a cork screw using a pipe wrench or by drilling the hole for the pipe and using a T-handle.

. Pipe diameter: Pipe brackets are available for two pipe sizes 2-112" and 3-112". A 2" bracket is de-signed to use pipe that measures 2-112" in outside diameter and a 3" bracket is designed to use pipe that measures 3-1/2". The installation process is the same for either pipe size.

r In salt water or brackish water conditions it is recommended that the steel pipe be sleeved with PVC pipe. The steel pipe will need to fit inside lhe 2-112" ar 3-112" pipe. This will help prevent abrasion and wear on the pipe bracket, prevent rust, and improve appearance.

Determine the length and size of pipe needed and bracket locations.

Pipe Brackets

EZ Dock pipe brackets are available in a standard-duty or heavy-duty models. Each type of bracket is capable of using 2-112" or 3-112" pipe depending on your needs.

Standard-Duty Pipe Bracket (130250 or 1 30350)

The standard-duty bracket is designed for residential use or to anchor EZ Port PWC lifts. For installation wave action should not exceed '1.5 to 2 feet and water depths should not exceed B feet for 2" pipe or 12 feet for 3" pipe. The standard-duty bracket is simple to install, connecting to a single set of pockets that may be placed anywhere around the perimeter of the dock.

It is always best to locate at least one bracket near the shore end of the dock. The other brackets may be placed along the sides or at the ends of the dock.

Heavy-Duty Pipe Bracket Q1A25A or 2'10350)

The heavy-duty pipe bracket is designed for residential and light commercial applications which must allow docks to ad-just to changing water levels. Wave action should not exceed

2.5 to 3 feet. Water depths should not exceed 12 feelfor 2" pipe or 1B feet for 3" pipe. lt is always best to locate at least one bracket near the shore end of the dock. The remaining brackets may be placed along the sides or at the end of the dock. You never want 1o span a seam restricting the move-ment of the dock creating more stress on the couplers. Two sets of pockets are required to connect the bracket to the dock.

Pipe Auger (100255 or 100355)

The auger is attached to the bottom of the pipe to allow easier installation of pipe anchoring in lake, river, or ocean bottoms. The auger works well in sandy or muddy bottoms.

Anchoring Pipe Specifications
