Lock Units Together
1. Before you lock any units together, set up all units and move them into position next to each other.
To move a 3-step riser, lift the 1st step and roll the unit on its two positioning wheels.
With 3-step risers, also attach any back rails and 4th-step options (see pages 10-11).
2. Lift one riser, and place it over the unit-to-unit clamp on a second unit.
If the riser hangs up on the clamp, loosen the clamp's two capscrews. Adjust to t, and re-tighten the
capscrews.
1. Take o󰀨 the rst and third steps by loosening the
capscrews that hold the steps to the legs.
Don't loosen the second steps capscrews yet.
2. Turn the rst and third steps end-for-end, and
switch their places as shown.
Reattach the steps to the legs.
3. Remove the second step, turn it end-for-end, and
reattach it to the legs.
4. Be sure all capscrews are tightened securely.
5. Remove the unit-to-unit clamps, and reattach them
at the opposite end of the steps.
6. If a back rail is used on a reversed riser, reverse the rail loop also.
To do this, depress the two snaps, separate the loop, turn the rail around, and snap it back together
(see page 11).

2. Turn the rst and fourth steps end-for-end, and switch their places as shown.
Reattach the steps to the legs.
3. Remove the second and third steps.
Turn them end-for-end, switch their places as shown, and reattach them to the legs.
4. Be sure all capscrews are tightened securely.
5. Remove the unit-to-unit clamps, and reattach them at the opposite end of the steps.
6. If a back rail is used on a reversed riser, reverse the rail loop also.
To do this, depress the two snaps, separate the loop, turn the rail around, and snap it back together
(see page 11).
Note: Performers should load the riser from the middle of the bottom step when steps are in reversed position.

Attach an Optional 4th-Step Addition
1. If the riser has a back rail installed, remove it before attaching the 4th-step.
2. Open both locking clamps on the 4th-step.
3. Position the 4th-steps brace brackets to the right side (viewed from the rear) of the risers leg assemblies.
On the right side, place the bracket between the leg and the positioning wheel.
4. Lean the 4th-step to the left, and slip its leg support brackets over the riser leg assemblies.
5. Push the locking clamps down so that they cover both leg assemblies on the riser.
Riser is unsafe unless both
clamps are fully locked.

Attach an Optional Back Rail
Note: Back rails (optional) are recommended on all risers.
1. Open the locking clamps on the lower posts of the back rail.
Note: In the following steps, install the lower posts so their wheels are on the inside (facing each other).
2. Riser without a 4th-step. Set a lower post on the oor, and hook its bracket around the riser leg.
Riser with a 4th-step. Set a lower post on the 4th-step cross tube, and hook its bracket around the riser leg.
3. Push the locking clamp down until it secures the post to the riser leg.
4. Attach the other post in the same way.
5. To install the rail, slide the upper posts into the
lower posts until the lock buttons snap into place.
