3. ASSEMBLY & USE
3.1 Stabilizer Assembly.
3.1.1 The stabilizer will come mostly assembled apart from the four feet. Screw the nuts
onto the feet then screw the feet into the threaded inserts on each corner (Fig.1).
3.2 Using the Stabilizer
3.2.1 Locate the stabilizer on solid even or uneven ground, the stabilizer uses a raising tray to counter uneven ground, Fig.2. Ensure that
the stabilizer is the correct way around to achieve this (the tray raises away from the slope).
The stabilizer has back to front adjustment within the feet, loosen the nut and screw in or out to the required height then tighten nut.
3.2.2 Remove the 'R' clip from the locking pin, withdraw the locking pin from the adjuster bracket (Fig.2a).
3.2.3 Lift the tray so that the ladder can be placed on a level surface (a spirit level can be used but by eye should be accurate enough),
move the adjuster bracket through its arc of movement to align the holes in
the tray with ones in the bracket, when the holes line up insert the pin and
secure with 'R' clip.
3.2.4 Place the ladder in the tray and secure the strap around the lower rung of the
ladder. Wrap the strap round the rung, pass it through the grip and pull tight,
as shown in Fig.2.
NOTE! You may also use pegs to secure the stabilizer to the ground to prevent
stippling (pegs not supplied).
