TOOLS NEEDED:

 

»

Phillips head screwdriver

Scissors

TO SETUP

1.  Remove the ladder barrel from the boxes. Remove all zip ties 

(with scissors) and bags from the unit.  

2.  Install the wooden dowel into the two holes at the top of the 

ladder. Note there are two (2) predrilled holes in the dowel, 
these will face backwards (away from the barrel) and line up 
with the two holes in the ladder uprights. See Fig. A.  

3.  The dowel will be centered in the ladder uprights.  Using a 

Phillips head screwdriver, install the two (2) included screws 
into the uprights and dowel securing the dowel into position 
(See Fig. A). The heads of the screws will be slightly sub-flush 
with the wood uprights when properly tightened.

TO ADJUST

Stand between the ladder and the barrel facing towards the 
barrel. Place your hands in the grey handles on the outside of the 
barrel sides. Using either foot firmly press down on the foot pedal 
(see Fig. B) continue to hold the foot pedal down and push or pull 
the barrel towards or away from you.  

When in the desired location release the foot pedal and pins will 
lock the barrel into position. Be sure to push the barrel forward to 
ensure the barrel is locked in a position, if it is not this push will 
locate it into a position. On the right bottom frame rail, if 
standing between the barrel and the ladder, there are numbers to 
visually see which position you are in. There are ten (10) positions 
to adjust back and forth to accommodate different heights and 
different exercises.
