5/16in. Lock Nut
Instruction 7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining base support.
Instruction 8: Rotate the ladder onto the wheels and front legs in the manner shown.
DO NOT lift the ladder until all other persons clear the area. If you are uncertain that you
can control the ladder as it rotates, enlist a coworker to help you. If you are under weight-lifting
restrictions DO NOT perform instruction 8; get someone else to rotate the ladder.
Instruction 9: Tighten all connections with crescent wrenches. Use one wrench to prevent the hex head of
a bolt from rotating. Turn the nut with a second wrench until the connection is tight.
Instruction 10: Attach the handrail weldments (4) to the step weldment (1) as demonstrated below. Use
two 1-1/2in. bolts and two 5/16in. lock nuts to secure each bracket to the step weldment. To connect each
handrail, first insert the leg portion into the platform brackets; then slide the integral handrail brackets into
place. In the photos, the leg of a handrail and the receiving bracket on the platform are circled and solid
squares identify the integral brackets. Feed the bolts through the corresponding holes so that the threaded
end of each bolt protrudes through the inner portion of each bracket.
DO NOT stand on the ladder to install the handrails! Connect both handrails to the step
weldment from the ground; then fully tighten all hardware/fasteners.
