You should visually inspect the ladder prior to assembly and use. Look at each part of
the ladder immediately after you receive the package from the shipper. Look for damage that might have
occurred during shipping. If damage is present, contact Vestil; DO NOT assemble or use the ladder
stand if you notice any damage to one or more of the steps or to any other structural element (step
weldment, back leg weldment, horizontal braces) of the ladder. Using the ladder stand despite weakness
of a structural component could cause the ladder to collapse and result in serious personal injuries. DO
NOT use your ladder stand if any of the hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) is damaged. Contact Vestil to order
replacement parts. Additionally,
•
DO NOT assemble the ladder by yourself. At least 2 persons are needed for assembly. Do not
participate in the assembly process if you have weight-lifting restrictions, back injuries or other
physical conditions that could make lifting the ladder dangerous.
•
Review the safety guidelines on p. 5 before you attempt to assemble the ladder.
•
Read the entire instruction manual before assembling the ladder stand; only assemble the ladder
stand if you fully understand the associated risks and the manufacturer-approved assembly
procedure discussed below.
•
DO NOT assemble the ladder stand unless your employer has given you approval to do so.
•
DO NOT deviate from the assembly instructions. To be safe for use, the product must be
assembled as directed.
•
DO NOT modify the ladder stand in any way unless and until you receive written approval from
Vestil.
•
DO NOT use the ladder stand if either of the wheels is damaged. A damaged wheel may cause the
ladder stand to tip over while supporting personnel and/or material.
•
ALWAYS use proper lifting techniques to minimize back strain if you must pick up ladder parts or
move the ladder.
• Any
unauthorized modification automatically voids the limited warranty. Contact Vestil to order
replacement parts.
•
The ladder stand is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, the ladder stand should
be sheltered from the weather when not in use.
After accepting delivery of a new ladder stand, remove it from the packaging and confirm that all parts
are present and undamaged. Do not assemble the ladder if any of the components is damaged.
Compare the parts to the photographs and tabular data below; contact Vestil if the ladder as delivered
is incomplete or damaged.
The following tools are necessary to assemble the ladder:
1. 2 crescent wrenches (1/2in. or adjustable to 1/2in.);
2. Rubber
mallet;
3. Proper work clothing, eye protection, gloves.
