Spreading the Outriggers
1. Lower the fly section completely.
2. Lean the ladder against a secure structure.
3. While holding the ladder vertical away from the wall or
secure structure, lean the ladder very slightly to the right and
pull upward on left release lever to unlock the engagement
pin. (Figures 1 - 2).
4. Push the left outrigger out with your left foot and release the
lever. Continue extending the outrigger with your foot until
the engagement pin locks into place. (Figure 3)
5. Ensure the engagement pin is fully locked, if any red is
visible at the end of the pin, the pin is not fully engaged.
(Figure 4).
6. Repeat steps 1 – 5 on the opposite side using your right foot.
7. Check the bubble levels located on the top of the outrigger
side rail to ensure that the ladder is level and properly set up
before climbing. (Figures 5 - 7).
8. Raise the fly section to your desired height.
9. To return the outriggers to the storage position, lower the fly
section completely and lift upward on the release lever. The
outrigger will spring back to the storage position.
Raising or Lowering the Outriggers
1. To lower the outrigger leg, depress the thumb release button
and pull down on the trigger release lever at the same time and
adjust the outrigger to the desired height. (Figures 8 - 11).
2. To raise the outrigger leg, depress the thumb release button and
pull down on the trigger release lever at the same time and
adjust the outrigger to the desired height. (Figures 8 - 11).
3. Check the bubble levels located on the top of the outrigger side
rail to ensure that the ladder is level and properly set up before
climbing. (Figures 5 & 7).
Tip: To ensure smooth operation of the outriggers use a dry lubri-
cant (3-IN-ONE
®
is recommended) spray the top surface of the
outrigger. The lubricant will dry in seconds; wipe off all excess
over spray with a dry clean cloth. Do not use oil.
Erecting the SumoStance Ladder
1. Lay the ladder on the ground with the base section facing up.
Place the spike shoe of the ladder against a wall to keep the
ladder from moving. (Figure 12).
2. Lift the other end of the ladder and walk the ladder hand over
hand one rung at a time until you are able to lean the ladder
against the wall. The inner or fly section should be facing out.
(Figures 12 - 14).
3. Lift the base of the ladder and carefully move the base away
from the wall until the ladder leans at a 75.5-degree angle.
Use the bubble level to verify that you have set the ladder at a
75-degree angle. (Figures 14 - 15).
Extending the SumoStance Ladder Using Rope and Pulley
System
1. Lean the ladder slightly away from the wall. (Figure 16).
2. Pull the rope to extend the ladder to your desired height.
3. When the ladder reaches the desired height, make sure the
rung locks are fully hooked over the two rung sections. Check
both bubble levels and adjust as needed.
4. To take down your ladder, reverse this process. Working slowly
will help you keep total control of the ladder.
