Introduction
The On-the-Go Receiver is designed for easy installation on various types of units. The receiver is designed for
use with both the 12.5 ft and 14.5 ft versions of the On-the-Go Ladder. No pre-drilling is required for installation.
The "WARNING" symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause death or
serious personal injury if not performed safely and within the parameters set forth in this manual.
Failure to follow instructions provided in this manual may result in death, serious personal injury
and/or severe product and property damage, including voiding of the component warranty.
Always wear eye protection when performing service, maintenance or installation procedures.
Other safety equipment to consider would be hearing protection, gloves and possibly a full face
shield, depending on the nature of the task.
The “CAUTION” symbol above is a sign that a safety risk is involved and may cause personal injury
and/or product or property damage if not safely adhered to and within the parameters set forth
in this manual.
Safety
Read and understand all instructions before installing or operating this product. Adhere to all safety labels.
This manual provides general instructions. Many variables can change the circumstances of the instructions,
i.e., the degree of difficulty, operation and ability of the individual performing the instructions. This
manual cannot begin to plot out instructions for every possibility, but provides the general instructions,
as necessary, for effectively interfacing with the device, product or system. Failure to correctly follow the
provided instructions may result in death, serious personal injury, severe product and/or property damage,
including voiding of the Lippert limited warranty.

• Appropriate drive bits
• Ladder or step ladder
• Butyl tape
• Ruler or tape measure
• Non-permanent marking method

Installation
Prior to Installation
Determine the location of the receiver on the unit. The receiver should be mounted toward the rear of the
unit. Lippert recommends a receiver mount height of around 10 feet for the 12.5 foot ladder and 12 feet for
the 14.5 foot ladder. This will allow the top ladder rungs to exceed the height of the unit, allowing the user
safe access to the roof of the unit.
To support the load of the ladder and ladder operator during use, minimum backing of 1/8” (3mm) for
aluminum tube or a nominal 2” x 2” (50mm x 50mm) for wood (of sufficient length) or an EGS galvanized
strip backer or a Lippert engineering approved equivalent must be installed into the backer within
the structure of the wall of the unit. Backers used for hanging awnings or used historically to mount
conventional ladders are inherently approved for use.
Receiver Installation
1. Park the unit on level and stable ground.
NOTE: If a ladder is required to install the receiver, make sure it is also on level and stable ground.
2. Determine the approximate location of the four mounting holes on the unit (Fig. 1A).

Receiver
3. Using a reference that is parallel to the unit, such as the top of the wall or a window, use the ruler or
tape measure and position the receiver so that it is straight and parallel to the unit.
4. Mark this position with a non-permanent marking method.
5. Apply butyl tape (Fig. 1B) to the back of the receiver.
NOTE: Lippert recommends using butyl tape.
6. Align the receiver to the marked location on the unit.
7. Fasten the receiver to the unit with the four supplied fasteners (Fig. 1C).

Additional Instructions
Ladder Operation Verification
These instructions are needed if a complete On-the-Go Ladder system is provided by the OEM. Use the
following instructions to verify ladder operation.
locked
unlocked
Overview
Each ladder rung is extended and retracted via telescoping rails held in place by locks and operated by sliding
the lock buttons (Fig. 2A). Sliding the button towards the rail engages the lock. Sliding the button away from
the rail disengages the lock (Fig. 3).
The ladder can be fully retracted when the ladder is being stored, or fully extended during use if the full
height of the ladder is required (Fig. 4).
NOTE: The ladder can be used under a partial extension in the event that the full ladder height is not
needed. Care should be taken to ensure that rung spacing is even to avoid potential for tripping, or
else group unused rungs at either the top or the bottom of the ladder.

Remove and stow the ladder prior to travel. Failure to properly remove and stow the ladder
could result in personal injury or property damage.

Extending and Retracting the Ladder
1. Disengage both lock buttons on the rung (Fig. 5) that is going to be moved.
2. Fully extend or retract the rung (Fig. 6).
3. Engage the lock buttons (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Lock buttons cannot be engaged if the rung is not fully extended or retracted.
Make sure all lock buttons are in the "Lock" position prior to ascent or descent. Unlocked buttons
may cause instability and could lead to a fall.
Moving parts can pinch, cut, and crush. Keep hands o of moving parts at all times and exercise
caution when extending or retracting the ladder.

Installing Ladder on Receiver
1. Extend the ladder to full height.
2. Insert the attached mounting hanger of the ladder into the slots of the receiver (Fig. 8).
75°
3. Pull down on the ladder to make sure the mounting hanger is fully inserted into the receiver.
4. Put the feet of the ladder on the ground. Ladder should be at an angle. The optimal angle for use of
the ladder is approximately 75 degrees (Fig. 9). Retract rungs starting from the bottom if angle
needs adjustment.
Make sure ladder is fully seated in the receiver before use. If all the ladder treads are not fully extended,
use caution ascending and descending as ladder rung spacing will not be as uniform as expected.

Essential Ladder Operation Safety
• Do not exceed the 330 lb. (150 kg) maximum weight capacity of the ladder.
• Only 1 person at any given time should be on the ladder.
• Ensure all lock buttons are in the “lock” position prior to using ladder (Fig.3).
• Position the ladder only on level, stable ground that will not shift or sink under use.
• Do not overreach. Keep torso between the side rails at all times.
• Always face the ladder when ascending or descending.
• Equipment carried up and down the ladder should be manageable and easy to handle.
Falls from a ladder from any height can lead to death or serious physical injury. Obey safety
measures and do not use the ladder for anything other than its intended use.
Storage
The ladder comes equipped with a Velcro strap for storage. Secure the Velcro strap to the On-the-Go
Ladder (Fig. 10) prior to storage and unit transportation.
