II. Operating and Adjusting the Ladder
A. The Rope - Located at the right side of the ladder. Pulling it raises the fly section of the ladder.
B. The Rung Locks - Located toward the lower portion of the fly section, they lock the ladder at
the desired working height.
1. To raise the ladder - Pull the rope until the ladder is at the desired height, and the
rung locks swing in over the base section rung. Release the rope slowly, and make
sure that the rung locks are fully seated over the rung, as illustrated below:
2. To lower the ladder - Pull the rope until the rung lock flippers are completely above
the base rung, then begin to let the fly section come down slowly until it has come
down to the desired height, then relock the rung locks as described above.
