INSTALLING YOUR FLOOD GATE
By following the procedures in the correct sequence, the barrier
will take approximately 2 minutes to install in position.
STEP ONE
Ensure that your entrance is smooth and clean of dust and debris
at the vertical and base area in preparation for positioning.
WARNING - Rough surfaces may damage the sleeve & leave area
for possible seepage.
STEP TWO
Place the barrier with its face (see Diagram 1) toward the ood
threat and as close as possible to your entrance in a solid reveal.
WARNING - If you are not sure the reveal can withstand the forces that
will be applied to it you MUST seek advice from a structural engineer.
STEP THREE
Keeping the unit in an upright position, apply downward pressure
to the unit, while adjusting the horizontal scissor jack -
(see Diagram 2).
WARNING - Over extending the unit may weaken it and reduce its
effectiveness. It is recommended that expansion be no more than
  5inches(12.7cm).Ifalargerunitwouldttheopening,itmustbe
used instead of over extending a smaller unit.
STEP FOUR
Hand tighten each of the 4 downward pressure bolts to a
maximum depth of ¼” (7 mm) to compact the sleeve along the
ground - (see Diagram 3).
WARNING - DO NOT fully tighten these bolts as this will cause the
Flood Gate to rise off the surface & cause seepage. Only tighten
enough to gently compress neoprene sleeve.
STEP FIVE
Silicone caulk may be used (see Diagram 4), in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions, on the exterior edges of the frame
to ensure a complete seal. The use of added neoprene strips may
be used to increase the water tight seal.
