Hazards of Improper Use:
Vestil strives to identify all foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its ladders. However, no manual can
address every possible risk. The most effective means for avoiding injury is to apply sound judgment whenever using
this ladder. Read all of the instructions prior to using the ladder to familiarize yourself with assembly, use and
maintenance practices.
If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the user and/or bystanders might sustain serious personal
injuries or could even be killed. ALWAYS use the product properly:
Read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the ladder.
DO NOT exceed the rated load of the ladder. The total weight applied to the ladder (weight of the user plus tools, etc.)
must not be greater than the rated load.
DO NOT use the ladder on uneven or unstable surfaces. ONLY use the ladder on level, even surfaces
Make sure that you will not contact overhead objects with either your body or with the ladder during use.
Always unload the ladder before leaving it unattended.
Remove foreign matter, like mud or grease, from your shoes before walking on the ladder.
ALWAYS face the stairs and use the handrails while ascending and descending the ladder.
DO NOT increase the height of the platform or of a step by standing on other objects placed on the ladder.
Inspect the ladder as described in “Inspections & Maintenance” on p. 12. DO NOT use the ladder unless it is in normal
condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts if repairs are necessary.
DO NOT use the ladder if the caps on the front legs are significantly worn (see exploded parts diagrams on p. 4-8).
Caps should prevent the ladder from sliding. If either or both caps are too worn to function properly, replace them
before using the ladder again.
ONLY use the ladder to access objects that you cannot otherwise reach. DO NOT use the ladder for any other
purpose. For instance, DO NOT use the ladder as a storage rack or as a way to move people or material. Always
unload the ladder before leaving it unattended.
DO NOT lean or reach over the sides of the ladder. Position the ladder as close to the work as possible.
DO NOT attempt to move the ladder while someone is using it.
DO NOT use the ladder to transport people or objects.
DO NOT remove or obscure any label. Each label must be readable, undamaged, and present in the appropriate
location (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 12).
DO NOT modify this ladder! Unauthorized modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p. 13) and might
make the ladder unsafe to use.
This product must be properly maintained to function properly. (See “Inspections & Maintenance”, p. 12.)
Keep the ladder clean & dry.
Periodically check the ladder frame. The ladder should be solid, square, and free of rust and corrosion.
Lubricate the wheel bolts whenever necessary for the wheels to rotate freely.
The ladder stand is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, it should be stored indoors when not in use.

Assembly Instructions:
Improper assembly might make the ladder unsafe to use.
Visually inspect all ladder components prior to assembly. Look at each part of the ladder immediately after you
receive the package from the shipper. Look for damage that might have occurred during shipping. DO NOT assemble
or use the ladder stand if you notice any damage to one or more of the steps or to any other structural element (step
weldment, back leg weldment, base supports, and handrails) of the ladder. Using the ladder stand despite weakness of
a frame member could result in serious personal injuries.
DO NOT assemble the ladder by yourself. At least 2 people are needed for assembly.
Read the entire instruction manual before assembling this ladder.
DO NOT use the ladder if a wheel is damaged. Damaged wheels might cause the ladder to wobble or tip when used.
The following tools are necessary to assemble the ladder:
1. 2 crescent wrenches (
2. Rubber mallet
NOTE: Numbers in the diagrams and in parentheses () correspond to part numbers in the exploded views on
pages 4-14.
Step 1: Fasten the back leg weldment to the stair frame weldment with 5/
back leg weldment as shown below (support tabs should face inwards).

Step 3: Install the plugs, caps, and wheels.
a) Install the plastic plugs and square caps in the leg tubes. First, press the 1in. plastic plug into the leg tubes.
Then, press the square caps over the plugs and onto the ends of the legs. If necessary, use a rubber mallet to
gently tap the plugs and caps into place.
b) Press a plug into each end of the cross brace.
c) Then, insert the wheels into the wheel brackets and install
axle. Periodically lubricate the bolts to allow the wheels to rotate freely.

Using the ladder:
Before climbing the ladder, stand on the bottom step and confirm that the caps solidly contact the ground. The
caps should prevent the front end of the ladder from moving.
To move the ladder, grasp either the handrails or the side rails and lift the front of the ladder. Ladders with more
steps are heavier and therefore require more effort to move. Only attempt to move the ladder if you are able to
comfortably lift it and can easily control it while balanced on its wheels.
Face the ladder and grasp the handrails while ascending or descending the steps. Do not lean against the
handrails or the platform chain.

Inspections & Maintenance:
After assembling the ladder and before putting it into use, visually inspect the ladder. Make a written record that
describes the condition and appearance of the steps, handrails, wheels, (leg) caps, base supports, back leg
weldment, platform chain, and fasteners (bolts, nuts, etc.). This record establishes “normal condition” of the ladder.
When conducting subsequent inspections, compare your observations to the written record to determine whether the
ladder is in normal condition. Do not use the ladder unless it is in normal condition.
Regular inspections — at least once per month inspect the following items. Replace all parts that are damaged
before using the ladder again. DO NOT continue to use the ladder if damage cannot be repaired.
Handrails, snap hooks, and platform chains: Inspect both handrails. Confirm that they are solidly fastened to
the step weldment. Each handrail should be rigid and undamaged. Examine the platform chain and snap
hooks. Confirm that they are securely fastened to the handrails and are in normal condition.
Back leg weldment and wheels: Make sure that the back leg weldment is not bent, that the wheels are not
severely worn, that they are vertical (not angled towards or away from the ladder) and roll smoothly. Examine
the wheel brackets and hardware for damage. Tighten nuts and bolts, if necessary.
Frame members (step weldment, back leg weldment, base supports, handrails) and all fasteners (bolts, nuts,
pins): Inspect each frame member for damage like excessive wear, bends, and cracks. All frame pieces should
be square, rigid, and free of rust and corrosion. Remove rust with steel wool or a metal bristle brush and apply
touch-up paint to the affected area. Check the areas where frame members are bolted together. Check the
areas around bolt holes for cracks, elongated bolt holes, etc
Square (rubber) caps: Check the caps for cracks and excessive or uneven wear. Install replacement caps
before returning the ladder to service.
Outriggers (11 and 12 step models): Examine the outriggers. Both should be securely fastened to the step
weldment. Both outriggers should make solid contact with the ground, i.e. the ladder should not be able to
Maintenance: in addition to correcting issues discovered during inspections, maintain the ladder as
described below.
wobble. Confirm that the caps on the outrigger legs are in satisfactory condition.
Clean the ladder to remove dirt and grime, especially from step surfaces.
Lubricate bolts as necessary for the wheels to rotate freely.
Apply touchup paint wherever the finish is damaged.
Labeling diagram:
The ladder should be labeled as shown in the diagram (below). Replace any label that is damaged, missing, or not
easily readable (e.g. faded). DO NOT use the ladder unless all labels are in place and in normal condition.
A: Label 740 (on nosing of a step or platform)
