After drilling the two (2) 3/8" holes, attach the starter brackets (E) to the sidewall as shown in Figure 6U .
Check the top ladder section to make sure the ladder rung dimples are to the top surface and attach to the
starter brackets (E) using the holes located 1" from the top of the ladder. See general detail information
on Page 12 for proper installation of additional ladder sections required. Standoff brackets (F) must be
