SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Rev. 4.2.2020 LAD-TRN-FDA MANUAL
Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no manual can address every conceivable risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is to exercise sound judgment when assembling, using, inspecting, and maintaining this ladder.
Keep a copy of this manual with the ladder at all times.
For example, put the copy inside a plastic pouch and attach the pouch 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.
Improper or careless use could result in serious personal injuries or death.

Read and 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 287. See
• 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, improved surfaces

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Rev. 4.2.2020 LAD-TRN-FDA MANUAL
Improper or incomplete assembly might result in a ladder that is unsafe to use.
• Visually inspect all ladder components
prior to assembly
. Look at each part of the ladder immediately after you receive the package from the shipper. Determine whether damage occurred during shipping. DO NOT assemble or use the ladder stand if you notice any damage, especially to the step weldment, back leg weldment, base supports, or handrails. Using a damaged component could lead to ladder collapse and result in serious personal injuries.
• While assembling this ladder, confirm that only locking fasteners are provided, i.e. only locking nuts. Contact
(p. 1) if you find non-locking nuts. Only lock nuts should be used. However, lock nuts can only
safely be used once. Discard the used lock nut and install a new lock nut after unfastening a connection
• 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. Damaged wheels might cause the ladder to wobble or tip when used.
The following tools are necessary to assemble the ladder: 2 crescent wrenches (

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.
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. Vestil encourages you to
if you discover any inconsistencies.
USING THE LADDER
ladder. Do not use in direct food contact applications.
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, it must be replaced 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 the ladder on even, level, improved surfaces (concrete or asphalt).
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.
Stand on the bottom step and confirm that the caps solidly contact the ground. The rubber caps on the bottoms of the legs should prevent movement. Face the ladder and grasp the handrails while ascending and descending the steps. Do not lean against the handrails or the platform chain.
Before moving the ladder, completely empty the tool tray. Move the ladder by standing in front of it, grasping the handrails, and rotating the ladder towards you until both wheels contact the ground and are able to roll. Push the ladder to the desired location. Ladders with more steps are heavier and therefore require more effort to manipulate.

INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
A
B
C
Rev. 4.2.2020 LAD-TRN-FDA MANUAL
Inspect the unit as instructed. Inspections and all necessary repairs should be performed by qualified persons.
Compare the results of each inspection to the
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
unless every part is in satisfactory condition. If you have any questions about the condition of your ladder, contact the
department. 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 to restore the ladder to satisfactory condition.
Before each use,
inspect the ladder for any sustained damage, such as unusual wear, deterioration, or corrosion.
Look for loose connections. Tighten all loose connections. Whenever a lock nut is partially or completely unfastened, it must be replaced with a new lock nut. Check cotter pins at each end of the wheel axle, the wheels, and the square caps (99-024-027) for damage.
Regular inspections: At least once per month inspect
the following items. Replace all parts that are damaged before using the ladder again. DO NOT continue to use the ladder if damage cannot be repaired.
• Handrails and platform bar: Inspect both handrails. Confirm that they are solidly fastened to the steps. Each handrail should be rigid and undamaged. Examine the platform and platform bar. Confirm that the bar is securely fastened to the handrails. Tighten nuts and bolts, if necessary.
• Back leg weldment, wheel brackets (caster tilter frames in exploded views, pages 4-7) and wheels: Make sure that the back leg weldment is not bent, twisted, etc. Wheels must not be severely worn otherwise they will not roll smoothly. Examine the wheel brackets and hardware for damage. Tighten nuts and bolts.
• Frame members (step weldment, back leg weldment, braces, handrails) and all fasteners (bolts, nuts, pins): Inspect each frame member for damage like excessive wear, bends, and cracks. 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 cracks, elongated bolt holes, etc.
• Square caps: Check the caps for cracks and excessive or uneven wear. If a cap requires replacement, install replacement caps before returning the ladder to service.
Maintenance
: In addition to correcting issues discovered during inspections, maintain the ladder by
• Cleaning it with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime, especially from step surfaces. Let the ladder dry completely before returning it to service. Clean
• Lubricating bolts when necessary for the wheels to rotate freely.
• Applying touchup paint wherever the finish is damaged as soon as damage occurs
