10. Lay the Ladder assembly flat on the deck surface as shown in Figure L. Align the Upper Slide
Runway’s mounting holes with the four Studs in the Top Slide Section. The required hardware for
these connections is as follows: 3/8” Flat Washer (4), 3/8” Lock Washer (2), and 3/8” Hex Nut (1).
Notes:
-
Use caution to protect the ladder from being scratched during this step.
-
It is strongly recommended that a second person assist to help ensure that the Top
Runway Section is properly aligned with the Ladder Section. It is difficult to separate the
parts once the gasket adhesive comes into contact with the Top Runway Section, so it is
important that the two parts be aligned correctly the first time.
