might damage the crane.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no manual can address every conceivable risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is to exercise sound judgment when assembling, using, inspecting, and maintaining this ladder. Keep a copy of this manual with the ladder at all times. For example, put the copy inside a plastic pouch and attach the pouch to the frame. Anyone who uses this ladder must be made aware that a copy of the manual is available and where to find it.

Improper or careless use could result in serious personal injuries or death.

• Read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using, inspecting, or servicing the ladder.

• DO NOT use this ladder unless you are in good health. NEVER use the ladder while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs, including prescription medication that affects balance, perception, or judgment.

• DO NOT exceed the capacity/rated load. The total weight applied to the ladder (weight of the user plus tools, etc.)

must not be greater than the capacity. The capacity is provided on label 287. See Labeling Diagram on p. 10.

• Wear appropriate footwear. DO NOT wear high-heeled shoes or footwear with smooth soles.

• DO NOT use the ladder on uneven, sloped, or unstable surfaces. ONLY use the ladder on even, level, improved

surfaces (concrete or asphalt).

• Make sure that you will not contact overhead objects with either your body or with the ladder during use.

• Avoid electrical shock! Take precautions to prevent any contact, or possible contact, with an energized, insulated

conductor (electrical line).

• Remove foreign matter, e.g. mud, from your shoes before walking on the ladder. Only wear slip-resistant shoes.

• Only stand on the steps. DO NOT climb on the railing. DO NOT slide on the railing.

• DO NOT access, or egress from, any step from another elevated surface unless the ladder is positively secured

against movement.

• ALWAYS face the stairs and use the handrails while ascending and descending the ladder.

• DO NOT increase the height of a step by standing on other objects placed on the ladder.

• Inspect the ladder as described in Inspections & Maintenance on p. 9-10. DO NOT use the ladder unless it is in

Satisfactory Condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts when repairs are necessary.

• DO NOT use the ladder if the caster guards are significantly worn. See applicable Exploded View on p. 3-7. Guards

should prevent the ladder from sliding. Replace worn and damaged guards before using the ladder.

• ONLY use the ladder to access elevated working positions. DO NOT use the ladder for any other purpose. DO NOT

store materials and/or equipment on the steps. Always unload the ladder before leaving it unattended.

• DO NOT position an occupied ladder in front of a door unless that door is secured in an open position, is locked, is

attended, or is barricaded.

• DO NOT lean, or reach, over the side rails or handrails of the ladder. Position the ladder as close to the work as

possible. Reposition the ladder to prevent overreaching. Overreaching could cause instability and result in a fall.

• Avoid sudden shifts while on the ladder.

• DO NOT push, pull, or lean on the handrails.

• DO NOT skip steps. Climb the ladder one step at a time.

• DO NOT attempt to move the ladder while someone is using it. The ladder must be unoccupied before it is moved.

• DO NOT use the ladder to transport people or objects. DO NOT ride on the ladder.

• DO NOT remove or obscure any label. Each label must be readable, undamaged, and present in the appropriate

location. See Labeling Diagram on p. 10.

• DO NOT modify this ladder! Unauthorized modifications automatically void the Limited Warranty (p. 11) and might

make the ladder unsafe to use.

• While assembling this ladder, confirm that only locking fasteners are provided, i.e. only locking nuts. Contact

Technical Service (p. 1) if you find non-locking nuts. Only lock nuts should be used. However, lock nuts can only

safely be used once. Discard the used lock nut and install a new lock nut after unfastening a connection.
