STEP ONE
STEP TWO STEP THREE STEP FOUR
Once the podium has been unfolded,
locate and lock in the bottom and
top pins on the horizontal bracing
at the back of the podium as shown
in the diagram. If the top pin is
inaccessible from the ground, lock
in the top pin when the podium is
fully assembled and accessed for the
rst time. There is no safety risk when
doing this as the deck, ladder frame
and bottom pin keeps the podium
secure and free from any movement.
Attach the ladder frame to the front
of the podium ensuring that all
of the brace claws are locked into
position. The ladder can be used
to help square the podium.
