Tighten the bolt until snug to surface. Be careful not to
over-tighten the bolt or tube may be crushed. NOTE: Do
not apply final torque until instructed as handle bolts may
need to be removed later in instructions.
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE
Over-tightening bolts will cause damage to the ladder
and render it unusable and unsafe. The nylon-lock
nuts allow the bolt to be assembled to hold parts in
place
without being tightened to the required
application torque. When instructed, all bolt and nut
assemblies should be tighten to the specified torque
without exceeding the specified torque values.
2. Slide the upper ladder assembly over the smaller-
diameter inserts of the lower ladder section. Pre-drilled
holes should line up in both sections. If holes are not
present, drill a 13/64" hole through the each upper
ladder assembly section rail and inner tube insert
approximately 1-1/2" from the upper ladder assembly rail
end. Place a #10-24x1-1/2" bolt through each set of
holes and fasten each with a #10-24 nut with nylon lock
insert.
Tighten the bolt to 16-18 in-lbs until snug to
surface (see Diagram #3). Be careful not to over-tighten
the bolt or tube may be crushed.
CAUTION
3. The ladder will be mounted from the top down. Begin
by placing the upper portion of the ladder on the roof
with the curved handle section ends resting on the roof
and the rest of the ladder hanging vertical down along
the rear wall. Move the ladder until it aligns vertically
with known frame or backer locations.
side-to-side until it is vertical from left to right when
facing the rear wall.
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
Mounting your ladder will involve heights that will
require most individuals to be elevated off of the
ground, especially for roof access. Make sure that any
structure you use for climbing is secure and that you
can safely maneuver up and down the various
positions safely before attempting this installation.
4. Check the ends of the handles setting on the roof. If
the roof is flat, the handle ends should lay flat against
the roof and no modifications will need to be done. If
one end is resting on the roof and one end is raised
above the roof, then the roof more than likely has a
radius or angle built into it and the handle ends will need
to be modified. Measure the gap between the end of the
raised handle portion and the roof. Mark the measured
gap distance onto the handle portion that is resting on
the roof. Using a hacksaw or tube cutter, remove the end
of the resting handle portion at the mark and check the
fit. Both handles should now be resting on the roof and
the ladder should be vertical from left to right. Drill a
13/64" hole through the side of each handle section ¾"
from the end (see Diagram #4). To clarify orientation,
the triangular mounting bracket is intended to allow the
ladder to swivel away from the rear wall of the vehicle
once attached and mounted.
