4.2. OSHA Riser Safety Pins (FIG. 1D) must ALWAYS be installed in the riser hangers on the platform corner
pockets before use (FIG. 2). If any hardware is missing, DO NOT USE system and contact manufacturer.
4.3. Set platform on its side.
4.4. Loosen platform leg adjustment bolts in each platform corner pocket, but do not remove; adjust legs to

If using (optional) oversized feet, see instructions on page 6 for installation.
4.5. Set platform in upright position.
4.6. Readjust each platform leg height as necessary to level platform.
A slight tilt, away from structure of no more than 1:50, will aid in drainage. An optional platform
with drain holes is also available. For more information call 1-800-258-8503, or visit us on the

4.7. Remove the OSHA Riser Safety Pins and attach riser (FIG. 1E) to platform by placing the
“T” in the upper
corner pockets of riser into the corresponding riser hanger (channel with roll pin) on the platform (FIG. 2).
The “T” placement determines height; use either upper or lower riser hangers as required.
4.8. Secure riser to platform by reinserting OSHA Riser Safety Pins into the riser hanger (FIG. 2).

building or structure.
4.11. Unfold the 40” (shorter) side of the platform handrail (FIG. 1H) and orient on the side opposite the riser,
then lower handrail into platform corner pockets until the snap button engages in the corresponding hole
