1. Verify that the bottoms of all four of the platform’s

corner handrail posts are undamaged and that there
is no foreign material plugging the inside of the
posts.

2. Raise the work platform high enough to allow the

casters to be inserted into the bottom of each of the
four posts.

3. Verify that the stems of the casters have, in this order

from the rig to the end of the stem: a plastic spacer, a
black rubber expansion sleeve, and a knurled nut.

4. Hold onto the 2-1/2” tightening hub at the top of the

caster rig with your hand and snug the knurled nut
against the top rubber expansion sleeve.

5. Insert the caster stem into the bottom of the post until

the tightening hub is up against the bottom of the
handrail post.

6. Turn the tightening hub counterclockwise. If the hub

doesn’t tighten, apply side pressure to the caster
while turning the hub.
Note: Be sure that the tightening hub stays up
against the bottom of the handrail post when
tightening.

7. Once hand-tightened as far as possible, pull

downward on the caster rig to be certain the caster is
held securely in the post.

CAUTIONS:

•

Inspect the casters regularly for damage and to

verify that the caster stem is still inserted fully
and that it is securely held in the post.

• The casters are intended to be used only on solid,

smooth finished surfaces.

• Do not roll a platform across a surface when loaded

with equipment or personnel. The casters are only
intended to facilitate moving an unloaded platform.

• Do not lower the platform to the floor at a rate greater

than one foot per second.
