Operating Instructions
Using the adjustable angle lean-in feature
There are three different lean-in angles that allow the user to adjust positioning. This helps the user to
maximize safety and productivity. To adjust angle lean-in:
1. Lock casters (A2) by pressing the lock tab with your foot on each of the locking casters. 2. Push back
on the climbing section (O).
3. Move angle adjustment to one of the three notches located on the base.
Changing Working Height
The working height of the Topsdie Creeper can be adjusted to fit the needs of each individual task from
44” (110cm) to 68” (172cm) in height. To change the working height:
1. Lock casters (A2) by pressing the lock tab with your foot on each of the locking casters.
2. Grasp a step within the sliding section with one hand while using the other hand to pull one of the
spring loaded locking pins outward. Rotate the pin so it does not slide back into the locking slot.
3. Repeat step 2 on the other side of the sliding section to remove the second spring loaded locking pin.
IMPORTANT: one hand MUST have a firm hold of a step within the sliding section when the second
spring loaded locking pin is removed from the locked position. This prevents the sliding section from free
falling which could cause serious personal injury.
4. Slide the inside step section up or down to desired height while maintaining a firm grip.
5. While holding a step within the sliding section with one hand guide one of the spring loaded locking
pins into its corresponding hole in the outside rail.
Done. Now use your
Topside Creeper safely
for maximum productivity.
Lock Casters by pressing
downward on the locking tab
with your foot.
Remove two locking pins from
the assembled base section.
Push the Angle Adjustment Bar
forward to the first setting of the
notched Angle Adjustment Keeper.
Grasp each of the two legs
(M1 and M2) and raise to the
climbing section.
Replace pins back into their
holes for safekeeping.
