2. Using the AIRDECK workstation
a) The AIRDECK workstation can only be used with the ladder in the stepladder and
staircase modes. Notice the keyhole shape in the top of the port (Fig. 51). There is a
matching plug in the end of one workstation leg, which prevents it from being mounted
incorrectly.
b) Slide the ends of the workstation into the ports and press down until the locks engage
(Fig. 52). With the fixed-position ports, and 2-position ports in the vertical position, the
workstation can now be used as a safety handrail for more security when working at
the top of the ladder and allows for standing access on the second rung from the top.
WARNING:
NEVER STAND ON THE SECOND RUNG FROM THE TOP WITHOUT THE
WORKSTATION IN THE SAFETY HANDRAIL POSITION, AND NEVER STAND ON THE
TOP RUNG. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE WORKSTATION IS FULLY LOCKED INTO THE
PORTS BEFORE USING.
c) To utilize the workstation in the safety handrail position, rotate the tray up and back
until the locks on both support arms engage (Fig. 53). To use the tool tray in the
horizontal position, simply insert the workstation when the 2-position ports are in the
horizontal position.
WARNING:
NEVER STAND OR SIT ON THE TOOL TRAY. IT HAS A RATING OF
25 lb [11 kg]; NEVER EXCEED THIS RATING. THE SAFETY HANDRAIL IS FOR EXTRA
STABILITY
ONLY,
EXCESSIVE FORCE. NEVER USE THE AIRDECK WORKSTATION WITH THE LADDER
IN THE 90-DEGREE MODE.
d) To return the tool tray to its stored position, press in the buttons at the ends of the
support arms to release the locks, then slide the button housings downward to retract
the tray (Fig. 54).
e) To remove, press in and hold the tops of the locks, then lift upward (Fig.55).
f)
To store, rotate the metal hanger under the tool tray out (Fig. 56), and hang the
AIRDECK workstation on the inside of the ladder on an inner rung. Then close the
ladder into its storage position (Fig. 57).
