D FENDER INSTALLATION

D Shaped Marine Fenders are simple to install, requiring no specialised skills. These instructions are for the Light-Weight D Fender, Heavy Duty D Fender and the D Fender With Lip.

Please remember to employ the proper safety procedures when working in and around water and heights.

Required Equipment

• Aluminium or Stainless Steel Fixing Strip (can be purchased at Bunnings)

• Appropriate Fixing Screw (adjust screw type according to fixing surface)

• Measuring Tape

• Power Drill

Installation Instructions

Step 1: Measure and mark the location of the guide holes at a maximum of 450mm apart (from centrelines).

Step 2: Laying the fender on a flat surface, use a power drill to drill the guide holes at the peak of the fender. Remove the drill swarf and burrs.

Step 3: Slide the aluminium/stainless steel fixing strip inside the fender along its base.

Step 4: Depending on its length, have somebody help you hold the fender in the desired position. If you are installing the D fender with lip, rest the inner edge of the lip against the top edge of the pier.

Step 5: Using a power drill, fix the screw into position.
