ASSEMBLY
WARNING:Assembly of these types of ladders can be inherently dangerous. Please take all precautions necessary during the assembly process. Always use a separate ladder to finish assembly in high places. Never climb a ladder that is not completely assembled. Do not assemble or use a ladder with missing or damaged parts. Use proper lifting mechanics when assembling a ladder. Watch for overhead electrical hazards and obstructions.
STEP 1: BACK PANEL ASSEMBLY
NOTE: DO NOT tighten bolts until instructed to.
- Place the ladder stile (D) on the floor. Be sure to assemble on a protective surface so the finish does not get damaged.
- Bolt back panel (F) to the inside of lugs 1 with (2) 3 ⁄8-16 x 1¼” hex head cap screws and self-locking nuts. (See Figure 1)
STEP 2: ASSEMBLY OF BOTTOM BARS
- Bolt bottom bar (G) to the inside of lugs 2 with (2) 3⁄8-16 x 1¼” hex head cap screws and self-locking nuts. (See Figure 1)
- Bolt other end of bottom bar (G) to the inside of lugs 3. (See Figure 1)
- Repeat on opposite side with other bottom bar.
- If rubber tips have not been installed prior to shipping, slip rubber tips onto the ends of the legs.
NOTE: Brake housing must be on the inside of the bottom bars (G) with the large opening facing away from the stile. (See Figure 1)
STEP 3: DIAGONAL BRACE ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Used only on 30″ deep top step ladders.
- Using 3⁄8-16 x 1¼” hex head cap screws, locate diagonal brace (I) on the inside of lugs 2 and lugs 4. (See Figure 1)
- Start (2) self-locking nuts onto screws.
- Repeat on other side.
WARNING: Never climb a ladder that is not completely assembled.
STEP 4: INSTALL HANDRAILS
NOTE: Do not tighten bolts until instructed to.
- Install side handrail (A) into the rear stile tubes. Use the rubber mallet as needed for mating parts. (See Figure 2, Step 1)
- Detach handrail brackets that are shipped attached to the handrail.
- Clamp side handrail to outside of stile tubes using detached handrail brackets and 3⁄8-16 x 2″ hex head cap screws, gray bushings and self-locking nuts. (See Figure 2, Step 2)
- Repeat step 4 with handrail (B).
STEP 5: INSTALL HANDRAIL EXTENSION PANELS
- Install handrail extension panels (E) into support tubes located on the side of the deep top. Use the rubber mallet as needed for mating parts. (See Figure 2, Step 3)
- Clamp the handrail extension panels to the side handrails using handrail extension clamps and 3⁄8-16 x 2″ hex head cap screws and self-locking nuts. (See Figure 2, Step 4)
STEP 6: INSTALL REAR HANDRAIL BAR
- Detach rear handrail bar (C) from the handrail or extension panel.
- Insert notched bushing into each end of rear handrail bar (C).
- Position rear handrail bar between mounting holes on handrail extension panels (E). (See Figure 2, Step 5)
- Attach using (2) 1/4-20 x 2¾” hex head cap screws.
NOTE: You may tighten all handrail bolts.
STEP 7: LEVEL LADDER
- Stand ladder upright on a level surface.
- Weight ladder to compress casters, making sure ladder rests level on all four legs.
- When all steps are level, tighten all installed bolts.
NOTE: Do not proceed until ladder is stable.
