01 - S16 introduction

Pre-install checklist

Allocate 2 hrs to the assembly of your S16. Do not remove components from their packaging before completing the step as its labelled on the packing. It can also help to read through the provided parts list and split the fasteners apart to make assembly smoother. 

• Mobile phone/ tablet or laptop
• 240V power - waterproof socket. No extension leads.
• Secure fixing area - 1250 x 650 base dimensions
• Water Source - static supply from a clean water source
• Some steps will be easier with an extra pair of hands

2060 and 2020

2060 and 2020 in part names refers to cross sectional dimensions of the aluminium frame component.

Installing channel nuts

Channel nuts allow components to be fixed to the slot in the side of the 2020 extrusion. The flush face of the channel nut always faces outwards.

Slotting alignment of the screw/ bolt head in channels

The bulk of the frame uses screws or allen head bolts in the channel of 2020 extrusion to secure in place. Take care in locating and threading screws to prevent cross threading and misalignment.

Positioning 

Like all structures the longevity and safe operation of your S16 is only as good as the foundation it is fixed to. 

Your S16 needs to be located on a flat, smooth surface measuring at least 1500mm x 600mm footprint with good access at the front. 

Use the supplied stainless angle brackets as seen later in the guide and secure all 4 corners to the floor. For a concrete floor you could use rawplugs or we supply 30mm long stainless steel screws for screwing into a wooden surface. It is also possible to secure the frame to a wall using the same brackets. Always ensure 4 fixing points for secure installation

DO NOT...

• Position your S16 directly onto a soft surface such as soil or sand.
• Position your S16 indoors.
• Position on an uneven surface
• Use a contaminated water supply such as that from a lake or pond.
• Leave the door or lid open in bad weather.
