Mounting The Top Bracket; Raising The Ladder - Grizzly 511 Series Instruction Manual

MOUNTING THE TOP BRACKET

Slide top bracket into end of the top ladder section and bolt securely to the ladder. Make sure top sheave is
centered with cross ties (fig. 5), or cable will cut though cross ties.

RAISING THE LADDER

WARNING:
CAUTION:
Two alternate methods are suggested for raising the ladder to its operating position.
PROCEDURE A
1. Lay the assembled ladder with platform and top bracket attached parallel to the building wall that is to
support the ladder.
2. Use a man on the roof with a rope dropped from the roof and attached to the top bracket to pull up the
ladder while a man on the ground, with his feet braced against the ladder shoes to keep the bottom of
ladder from slipping, aids in raising by pulling against the rails, cross ties or platform.
3. Another man on the ground may aid in erecting by "walking" the ladder up hand over hand on the rails
or cross ties. When ladder reaches a vertical position, carefully turn the ladder away from the building
where ladder is to be supported. Allowance must be made for an overhand on building.

KEEP LADDERS CLEAR OF ALL ELECTRICAL WIRES AND
EQUIPMENT. NEVER CLIMB THE LADDER.
BECAUSE OF ITS LONG LENGTH AND WITH THE TOP BRACKET
ATTACHED, THE LADDER ASSEMBLY IS EXTREMELY TOP HEAVY AND
MUST BE KEPT UNDER CONTROL AT ALL TIMES.
