G. Ladder Setup instructions
1. With the ladder in its shortest position, lay the ladder on its climbing side with the feet
against a wall or solid surface. If none are available, have a second person brace the
feet as you raise the ladder.
2. Lift the top end of the ladder and walk it hand-over-hand, one rung at a time, until the
ladder is vertical. If you're working against a solid surface, lean the ladder into it to help
stabilize it.
3. If your ladder has SUMOSTANCE outriggers, deploy them as shown on page 7, while
carefully securing the ladder and preventing it from tipping.
4. Lift the ladder and carefully move it back from the working surface until you are back
approximately 1/4 of the planned working length of the ladder.
5. While maintaining control of the ladder, pull the rope to extend the ladder to the
desired height. When the ladder reaches the desired height, make sure both rung locks
are fully seated, as shown on page 5.
6. Slowly lean the ladder onto the working surface, then adjust the base until the ladder
rests at the proper 4:1 ratio (75.5° working angle). This can acheived by following the
instructional diagram on the PROPER SETUP label on the ladder, or by checking the
Bubble Level on the right side rail of the ladder on select models. Also, always make
sure the ladder is level side-to-side before climbing by checking the Bubble Level at the
bottom of the ladder, as shown on page 6. Readjust ladder as necessary.
7. If accessing a roof or raised platform, erect ladder so that approximately 36" [91 cm]
extends above the roof line or working surface, and tie top at support points.
