Ladder-Boarding - Regal LS4 Owner's Manual

Ladder-Boarding

The stern ladder is located under the port side of
the swim platform. It is the recommended compo-
nent for entering or exiting the vessel to and from
the water. Be sure to use a hand hold for support
as needed when on the ladder.
Never try to board using any part of the outboard
motor as serious injury may occur.
When not using ladder be sure to keep the ladder
locked in the framework as shown in top right photo.
Insist that only one person use the ladder at a time.
Periodically check the ladder hardware for tightness
and corrosion. Replace fasteners and lubricate
hinges as needed.
See the cosmetic care chapter regarding cleaning
and preserving the stainless steel. Read and un-
derstand all warning and information labels found
in the vicinity of the ladder.
LADDER
To use the stern ladder grasp the ladder rung and
push the ladder up and in until the ladder round
pawl clears the spring loaded scalloped lock of
the framework. Pull the ladder out to the end of
the travel. Then fl ip the ladder over and let it down
gently. Make sure you keep all body parts clear of
any moving ladder parts especially the hinged top.
When reattaching pull the ladder up to retract the
rungs. Then grasp the rung and push it into the
scalloped lock and pull it down until the round pawl
is secured. Note that some resistance may be felt
during both the releasing and attaching process as
the ladder framework is spring loaded to complete
the locking process.
