OWNER’S MANUAL
SP56-137 STANDARD PLATFORM LADDER
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ CAREFULLY
INSPECTION
1. Inspect before each use. Never climb a damaged, bent or broken ladder. All parts must be in good
condition.
2. Make sure all rivets, joints, nuts and bolts are tight; ladder feet and rungs secure.
3. Keep platform clean and free from grease, oil, mud, snow, wet paints and other slippery materials.
4. Never make temporary repairs to damaged or missing parts.
5. Have the ladder properly repaired if any part of the ladder, platform or ladder frame mount is broken or
worn, or has been exposed to fire or chemical corrosion.
PROPER SET-UP
DANGER! METAL CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY! Do not let ladder or any material come in contact with live
electrical wires.
1. Remove the locking pin on the ladder frame mount and slide the ladder and platform out completely.
Place the locking pin back through the ladder frame mount and platform slide. Push back on the
platform to ensure that it does not slide back into the frame. Failure to secure the platform properly
could cause the ladder to fold up while in use, which may result in injury or death.
2. Place the ladder feet on a firm level surface. Do not use on slippery surfaces. Do not place the ladder
feet on boxes or unstable bases.
PROPER CLIMBING AND USE
1. Do not allow children to play on the ladder or platform. It is for emergency use only.
2. Exit through the emergency window feet first and face down. Carefully lower your feet to platform,
using the window frame for stabilization.
3. Begin descending the ladder, making sure to hold onto the window frame until you are able to grasp
platform or ladder sides.
4. Face the ladder when climbing down. Keep your body centered between the side rails.
5. Do not overload. This fire escape ladder is meant for one person at a time only.
PROPER CARE AND STORAGE
1. The ladder and platform are designed to store safely and securely while towing your 5th wheel.
2. Remove the retaining pin from the platform and slide the ladder into the ladder frame mount. Place the
pin through the clip on the ladder, securing the ladder to the frame while in transit. Failure to properly
pin the ladder to the frame when 5th wheel is in transit will cause the ladder to slide out. This may
result in damage, injury, or death.
3. Never store materials on the platform or inside the ladder frame mount.
4. Keep the platform and ladder frame mount clean and free of all foreign materials.
Maximum Capacity : 300 lbs.
MOR/ryde International, Inc. is not responsible if 5th wheel is damaged from improper installation.
