SIGNAL WORDS
SIGNAL WORDS IN THIS MANUAL DRAW THE READER’S ATTENTION TO IMPORTANT SAFETY-RELATED MESSAGES.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products, but no manual can address every
conceivable risk. Reduce risk by applying sound judgment whenever using this device. Acquire a copy of the latest
version of ANSI A14.7 (“A14.7” or the “Standard”). Apply all parts of the Standard that concern using, inspecting,
maintaining & repairing the ladder. Keep a copy of this manual with the ladder at all times, e.g. inside a plastic pouch
attached to the frame. Anyone who uses this ladder must be made aware that a copy of the manual is available and
where to find it.
If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the user and/or bystanders might sustain serious
personal injuries or could even be killed. ALWAYS use the product properly:
•Read & understand the entire manual before assembling, using, inspecting, or servicing the ladder.
•DO NOT use this ladder unless you are in good health. NEVER use the ladder while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, including prescription medication that affects balance, perception, or judgment.
•DO NOT exceed the capacity/rated load. The total weight applied to the ladder (weight of the user plus tools, etc.)
must not be greater than the capacity. The capacity is provided on label 1153. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 14.
•Wear appropriate footwear. DO NOT wear high-heeled shoes or footwear with smooth soles.
•DO NOT use the ladder on uneven, sloped, or unstable surfaces. ONLY use the ladder on even, level surfaces.
•Make sure that you will not contact overhead objects with either your body or with the ladder during use.
•Avoid electrical shock! Take precautions to prevent any contact, or possible contact, with an energized, insulated
conductor (electrical line).
•Remove foreign matter, e.g. mud, from your shoes before walking on the ladder. Only wear slip-resistant shoes.
•Only stand on the steps or the platform. DO NOT climb onto the railing. DO NOT slide on the railing.
•DO NOT access, or egress from, any step or the platform from another elevated surface unless the ladder is positively
secured against movement.
•ALWAYS face the stairs and use the handrails while ascending and descending the ladder.
•DO NOT increase the height of the platform or of a step by standing on other objects placed on the ladder.
•Inspect the ladder as described in INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE on p. 12-13. DO NOT use the ladder unless it is in
Satisfactory Condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts when repairs are necessary.
•DO NOT use the ladder if the caps on the front legs are significantly worn. See applicable EXPLODED VIEW on p. 4-8.
Caps should prevent the ladder from sliding. If either or both caps are too worn to function properly, replace them
before using the ladder again.
•ONLY use the ladder to access elevated working positions. DO NOT use the ladder for any other purpose. DO NOT
store materials and/or equipment on the steps or platform. Always unload the ladder before leaving it unattended.
•DO NOT position an occupied ladder in front of a door unless that door is secured in an open position, is locked, is
attended, or is barricaded.
•DO NOT lean, or reach, over the handrails or guardrails of the ladder. Position the ladder as close to the work as
possible. Reposition the ladder to prevent overreaching. Overreaching could cause instability and result in a fall.
•Avoid sudden shifts while on the ladder. DO NOT push, pull, or lean on the handrails or guardrails.
•DO NOT skip steps. Climb the ladder one step at a time.
•DO NOT attempt to move the ladder while someone is using it. The ladder must be unoccupied before it is moved.
•DO NOT use the ladder to transport people or objects. DO NOT ride on the ladder
•DO NOT remove or obscure any label. Each label must be readable, undamaged, and present in the appropriate
location. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 13.
•DO NOT modify this ladder! Unauthorized modifications automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY (p. 19) and might
make the ladder unsafe to use.
•Only locking fasteners should be used. During assembly, confirm that there are only locking nuts. Contact TECHNICAL
SERVICE (see cover page) if you find non-locking nuts. Lock nuts can only safely be used once. Discard used lock nuts
and install new lock nuts after unfastening any connection.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read this manual before assembling the ladder. Improper assembly might make the ladder unsafe to use.
•Inspect the ladder components prior to assembly. Examine each part of the ladder immediately after
delivery from the shipper. Look for damage that might have occurred during shipping. DO NOT assemble
or use the ladder stand if you notice any damage to one or more of the steps or to any other structural
element (step weldment, back leg weldment, base supports, and handrails) of the ladder. Using the ladder
stand despite weakness of a frame member could result in serious personal injuries. DO NOT use your ladder
stand if any of the hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) is damaged. Contact Vestil to order replacement parts.
•DO NOT assemble the ladder by yourself. At least 2 people are needed for assembly.
•Read the entire instruction manual before assembling this ladder.
•DO NOT use the ladder if a wheel is damaged because the ladder might wobble or tip during use.
•Apply lifting techniques to minimize back strain if you must pick up ladder parts or move the ladder.
The following tools are necessary to assemble the ladder:
1. 2 crescent wrenches (adjustable to 1/2in.)
2. Rubber mallet
3. Pliers, preferably needle nose, to bend arms of cotter pins
4. Proper work clothing, eye protection, gloves
5. Sturdy wall no shorter than 8 feet high
6. At least 30ft by 10ft of floor space is required to raise or collapse the ladder

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
After assembling the ladder and before putting it into service, visually inspect the ladder. Record the
condition and appearance of each of the frame members (step weldment, back leg weldment, base
support frame members), the handrails, outriggers, wheels and/or casters, (leg) caps, back platform frame
and chain, and all fasteners (bolts, nuts, etc.). Thoroughly photograph the ladder from multiple angles.
Include close range photographs of the rubber leg caps, casters and wheels, all labeling, and all handrail
connections. Add the photographs to the record. Collate all photographs and writings into a single file. This
file is a record of the ladder in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all inspections to this Record to
determine whether the ladder is in satisfactory condition. Do not use the ladder unless it is in satisfactory
condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint or powdercoat, are not changes from satisfactory
condition. However, touchup paint should be applied as soon as damage occurs.
Step 5: Attach the handrails.
Step 6: Install the platform chain. Attach the snap hooks to the hook brackets.

NATIONAL STANDARDS
This product is a “mobile ladder stand” (MLS). ANSI standard A14.7 (the “Standard”) applies to MLS’s. You
should acquire a copy of the latest version of the standard. Follow all use and maintenance/care
instructions provided in the Standard as well as all other provisions for MLS owners and users. If any content
in this manual conflicts with any mandatory provision(s) in the Standard, apply the provision(s) from the
Standard.
USING THE LADDER
Review the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on p. 3 before using the ladder.
Inspect the ladder before each use for damage, such as unusual wear, deterioration, or corrosion.
Tighten loose nuts. If a lock nut has been partially or completely unfastened, replace it with a new lock nut.
Make sure there are no children in the area where the ladder is used or stored.
Climbing the ladder:
ONLY use this ladder on solid, level ground. Never use the ladder on angled surfaces. The ladder must
not wobble or lean while in use. Only climb the ladder when the steps and handrails are clean and dry.
The rubber caps on the front legs must solidly contact the ground. The caps are provided to help the
ladder resist movement during use. Confirm solid contact between the entire bottom surface of each cap
and the floor before climbing the ladder. Do not use the ladder if either or both of the rubber caps are
damaged (worn, cracked, torn, or cut through by the front legs (see STEP 3 on p. 10). Remove the ladder
from service until new caps are installed.
Face the ladder and grasp the handrails while ascending or descending the steps. Do not lean against
the handrails, the guardrails (around the top of the ladder), or the cross bar or chain. Do not lean over the
handrails, guardrails, or cross bar.
To move the ladder, grasp either the handrails or the side rails. Carefully lift the front of the ladder off of
the ground. Ladders with more steps are heavier and therefore require more effort to move. Only attempt
to lift and move the ladder if you are able to comfortably lift it and can easily control it.
INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
Inspections and repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each
inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (the “RECORD”). Do not use the ladder unless all
parts are in satisfactory condition. Replace parts that are not in satisfactory condition before using the
ladder again. DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your ladder, speak with
TECHNICAL SERVICE personnel.The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual. Never
make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement
parts. DO NOT continue to use the ladder if damage cannot be repaired.
Before each use inspect the ladder for any sustained damage such as impact/collision damage, unusual
wear, deterioration, or corrosion. Look for loose connections. Tighten all loose connections. If any lock nut is
removed from its bolt, it must be replaced with a new lock nut.
Regular inspections —at least once per month inspect the following items. Replace all parts not in
satisfactory condition before returning the ladder to service. DO NOT use the ladder if damage cannot be
repaired.
•Handrails, guardrails, cross bar, snap hooks, and platform chain: Inspect both handrails. Confirm that they
are solidly fastened to the step weldment and to the platform. Each handrail should be straight, rigid, and
undamaged. Examine the guardrails around the platform for damage, bends, and cracks. Examine the
cross bar and the chain and snap hooks (if included with your ladder model). Confirm that the cross bar
and chain are undamaged and securely fastened to the guard railing. Snap hooks should close
automatically.
•Back leg weldment and wheels: Make sure that the back leg weldment is undamaged, e.g. not bent,
cracked, or warped. Check the wheels. They must not be cracked or significantly worn. Wheels should be
vertical (not angled towards or away from the ladder) and should roll smoothly. Make sure that the wheel
fasteners are undamaged. If any lock nut is loose, replace it with a new lock nut.
•All frame members (step weldment, back leg weldment, base supports, handrails) and all fasteners (bolts,
nuts, pins): Inspect each frame member weekly for damage like excessive wear, warps, cracks, and other
types of damage. All frame pieces should be square, rigid, and free of rust and corrosion. Remove rust
with steel wool or a metal bristle brush and apply touch-up paint to the affected area. Check the areas
where frame members are bolted together. Check the areas around bolt holes for warps, cracks, etc.
Replace all parts that are damaged before using the ladder again.

Table of Contents Rev. 10.5.2022 LAD-MM, MANUAL
Table of Contents Copyright 2022 Vestil Manufacturing Co. Page 13 of 14
•Square rubber foot caps: Check the caps for cracks, tears, wear, or for the bottoms of the front legs
cutting through the caps. Install replacement caps before returning the ladder to service. Even a
moderate amount of wear can affect the ability of a cap to resist sliding movement. The entire bottom
surface of each cap must contact the floor.
•Outriggers (11 and 12 step models): Examine the outriggers and confirm that they are securely fastened
to the step weldment. Both outriggers should make solid contact with the ground, i.e. the ladder should
not be able to wobble. Confirm that the caps on the outrigger legs are in satisfactory condition.
Maintenance: in addition to correcting issues discovered during inspections, maintain the ladder
as described below.
•Clean the ladder to remove dirt and grime, especially from step surfaces.
•Lubricate the axle as necessary for the wheels to rotate freely.
•Apply touchup paint wherever the finish is chipped.
