Installation

Every SLR is designed to be buried in the snow and withstand the abuse of the elements and the abuse of its users. It is dependant on you as to how well they are used and maintained. Below is a basic guideline for installing and maintaining your SLR.

- All SLR’s require a minimal depth burial depth of 8” of packed frozen snow, usually up to the bottom skirting bar.

- Every rail/box should be placed on a platform of snow allowing you to shape a transition on all side and front areas of the landing

- All rails/boxes should have a landing pitch on the downhill side of your SLR.

- All on ramps should be piled up to the lowest sliding section of the rail/box

- Keep on ramps mellow and wide. Back dragging the ramp works best to keep square and form during cat maintenance.

- Due to changing weather conditions and nightly maintenance, daily inspection of your SLR is highly recommended.

- Always reset your SLR if it lacks stability or leans in warmer conditions.

- Separate your SLR’s to accommodate inrun and runout.

- Always close or remove the SLR rail/box if it encounters cat damage to any part of the item.

- When storing your SLR, inside is always the best. If not inside be sure to spread a liberal coating of lubricant on the sliding surface of your rail/box to withstand rust and the elements better.

- To keep your SLR in top condition be sure to repaint skirting (aluminum does not apply) and coping annually.
