LADDER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - VERY IMPORTANT
* LADDER WEIGHT LIMIT IS 300 POUNDS
* LOOSE HARDWARE WILL RESULT IN LADDER FAILURE.
* The ladder will fail if the Machine Screws (45), Washers (46), Lock Washers (47),
and Cap Nuts (48) holding handles to legs are not properly installed.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
• Phillips head screwdriver • Small adjustable wrench
1. Separate the Ladder Legs (40) – 2 pieces each left and right. Look for the “L” and “R”
on the top of the legs.
2. Start with one “R” ladder leg section (40). Carefully pry open one ladder step clip (44)
from the side, just enough to get over the top section of the ladder leg, and slide it from
the top of the leg down to the lowest indented section as shown in Figure 1. The ridge
on the ladder clip should be on the inside of the leg as shown in Figure 2. Repeat with
“L” leg section.
3. Slide a step (42) down over both legs. Make sure that the side of the step marked with
an “R” is on the right side leg. Slide the step down until the ladder step clips (44) in-
serts into the underside of the step and the ridges inside of the clips lock into place. The ladder step clips should stay in the
indented section of the ladder leg as you press the steps down
over them. The ladder step clips should insert flush against the
bottom of the step. See Figure 2.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3, installing the rest of the ladder step clips
(44) and steps (42) for the first section.
5. Assemble the second ladder leg section in the same manner,
repeating step 2-4.
6. The Machine Screws (45) should be installed from the inside of
the Handle (41), and out through the Ladder Handle Brace with
Safety Label (49) on the outside. Make sure that the English
warning label is facing out on both handle sections. Install the
Lock Washer (47), and thread the Cap Nut (48) on until the Lad-
der Brace tightens up against the Handle.
7. Stand both ladder leg sections in the upright position, with feet
facing outward, as shown in Figure 3. Place the ladder handles
(41), with the ladder handle braces on the outside of the ladder,
on top of both ladder leg sections.
8. Make sure all of the steps are now level (parallel to the ground)
and that the Safety Warning Labels are facing outward in the
right direction as in # 6 above.
9. From the inside of the ladder handles, insert the four machine screws (45) through the flat washers (46), then through the
handle and fasten in place using the four lock washers (47) and cap nuts (48). See Figure 4.
NOTE: THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT KEEPS THE HANDLES FROM SEPARATING FROM THE
LEGS - LADDER FAILURE WILL RESULT IF SCREWS ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED!
MAINTENANCE: 1. Keep ladder steps cleared off and free of mud, which causes slipping.
2. Retighten ladder hardware periodically; LOOSE HARDWARE WILL CAUSE LADDER FAILURE.
1. Locate ladder on a solid base, use the pool ladder as the only means of entering
and exiting pool.
