EXTENSION RAILS
Extension rails are provided to extend the side rails of the ladder above the eave of the
roof and to support the safety cage at that point. Two rails have been provided, one for each
side of the ladder. Refer to diagram above for proper location and assembly of the extension
rails in relation to the ladder. Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts to attach the ladder. Tighten the
bolts at this time.
EAVE ADJUSTABLE BRACES
After extension rails are firmly attached, the adjustable braces must be attached at this
time. A larger diameter tube and two smaller diameter tubes are used to make up one
adjustable brace. Slip the smaller tubes inside the larger tube and attach one smaller tube to
the top of the extension rail. Adjust the other smaller tube so the bottom of the flattened tube
reaches the roof rib. Field drill four 5/16" holes through both large and small adjustable tubes
and bolt together using 1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts. This will keep the adjustable brace from
slipping.
Attach the safety cage brackets to the extension rail and ladder as shown in the
diagram. Brackets must be placed every 44". This will occur at every ladder joint. Use 5/16" x
3/4" bolts and nuts.
