Secure each leg with a frame bolt (N) and lock nut 1 (V).
Insert the two leg lock pins (M) and push the ends down to
secure the legs.

of each caster through the end of each leg and
securing it with a flange nut (U). Install the rear
locking casters (K) to the base frame in the same
manner. Lock the rear wheels in place for the
remainder of the installation.

each side of the base frame and lower ladder assembly. Secure ach bolt
with a lock nut 1 (V). Swing the ladder's angle support (3-1) into the height
adjustment notches (3-2). Make sure the crossbar is firmly in place.

aligning the bolt holes. Insert a cross support bolt (O) through
the each end of the leg cross support and leg. Slide a washer
(T) over one bolt and secure with a lock nut 2 (W). Repeat
with the other cross support bolt.
