ISSUED: 1/14/15
We recommend that the deck surface of the dock
is a minimum of 16” above the water when properly
adjusted. However if you have high wave conditions that
commonly exceed 15” we recommend that your raise
your dock accordingly. Waves should pass under the
dock and not hit siderail or decking.

Step 1
• Place the dock section upside down on a soft surface or wood blocks to ensure the deck surface doesn’t
get scratched.
• Slide a 1/2” aluminum nut into the track of each leg pocket. (Fig. 1a)
• Thread the knob bolt in through the leg pocket and into the nut. Do not fully tighten knob bolt at this time.
• Attach each leg pocket to the dock frame using (4) 3/8x 2” button head bolts, (4) stainless steel flat
washers and (4) 3/8” nylock nuts. TORQUE TO 20 FLT/LBS.
• Depending on the layout, the leg pockets can be mounted on the end for a straight dock (Fig. 1b) or on the
side to create a boat slip or sundeck (Fig. 1c). You may need to drill 13/32” holes for the side mount boat
lift configuration (Fig. 1d)

Step 2
• Attach the two Center V-Brace Mounts to each side of the center frame between
the two leg pockets using (2) 3/8 x 2” hex head bolts and (2) 3/8” nylock nuts as
shown in Fig. 2c & d.
• For composite decking, attach one V-Brace Mount to the outside of each center
frame. (Fig. 2b)
• For a sundeck, attach each V-Brace Mount to opposite ends of the same frame
beam as shown in Fig. 2d

Step 3
• Insert a leg into each Leg Pocket as shown in Fig. 3a (note the orientation of the stop
blocks welded to the front and rear of the leg in Fig. 3a). Rocking the leg assembly
while hand tightening the knob bolt will help to ensure that the leg is seated and the
knob bolt is adequately tightened. Note – if the leg moves in the pocket, the knob bolt
needs to be tightened further. Do not use any tools on the knob bolt.
• Slide a Brace Bracket

with the tab toward
the center of the
dock as shown in

(2) 3/8 x 4” hex
head bolts, (4) 3/8”

• Attach the (2) V-Braces to the Center V-Brace Mount using the (2) Safety Snap Pins. For the
composite docks use the 12-1/2” V Braces that are shipped with the dock section.
• Adjust the V-brace Bracket Leg up or down the leg to allow the installation of the (2) 3/8 x 1-3/4”
hex head bolt, (4) 3/8” stainless steel flat washers and (2) 3/8” nylock nuts as shown in Fig. 4.
Do not over tighten and crush the V-Brace.

Step 6
• Turn the dock section right side up and attach the Quick Connects to the dock using (2) 3/8 x 2”
button head bolts and (2) aluminum nuts as shown in Fig 6a. TORQUE TO 20 FT/LBS.
• Note the orientation shown in Fig 6a is for straight docks or shore end ramps. For sundeck and

Step 6 continued:
• Quick Connects have two different sides to accommodate straight lined docks and sundecks/slips.
(Fig. 6b) For sundeck and slip applications, the Quick Connect must be positioned as shown in
Fig. 6c. TORQUE TO 20 FT.LBS.
Warning: Incorrect orientation of the Quick Connects will produce a large gap between the two
dock sections and create a possible pinch hazard if the dock sections become out of level
• Sundecks are generally mounted off the side of a straight dock. If the sundeck is attached to the
end (Fig. 6d), the first sundeck section will require 3 legs.

Step 6 continued:
• For some dock configurations it may be necessary to drill additional holes for the Quick Connects.
In such case the holes are positioned 43-1/16” apart and 1-3/4” up from the bottom of the frame.
The Quick Connect can be used as a drill guide to achieve the proper hole height.
torque to 20 ft/lbs.
leveling the dock:
Remove the plastic caps from the adjustment holes. Using FLOE SPEED WRENCH, a 1-1/8”
socket and wrench, or a cordless drill with a socket and socket adaptor, adjust the height of the
dock so the deck surface is approximately 16” above the water. SEE WARNINGS BELOW! Turn
the adjuster nut on the top of the dock clockwise to lower and counter clockwise to raise. Use a
level to make sure all dock surfaces are level. Once the dock is set in place and leveled, insert the
plastic caps into the adjustment holes.
WARNING
WARNING
Never adjust your dock legs with an
impact wrench or hammer drill. If you
can not turn the adjusting nut, DO NOT
FORCE IT, you have reached the end of
the adjustment range.DO NOT exceed
15 ft/lbs of force. Applying too much
force to your dock legs will damage the
mechanism and void your warranty.
Cordless drill may come to a sudden
stop when the leg is fully extended or
retracted. Be sure to have your cordless
drill in clutch mode when adjusting the
legs. Failure to use drill in clutch mode
may cause injury to your hand or arm. Use
of a corded drill may cause electrocution.
