Operating Guide

#13: If step is going to be attached to a
deck, slide the two deck connectors over the
two short posts before placing handrails on
posts.
Note: if step is going to be used with outside
safety ladder model # 400900 the deck connectors
will not be used.
#9: Using a 1/4” drill bit drill two holes in
each of the long posts and two holes in each
of the short posts at the marks. To insure a
straight hole do not drill all the way through.
Drill one side at the mark then rotate to drill
the opposite side at the mark.
#10: Align the two holes in the short post
with the two holes in the upper post location
on the side panel. Push the two-2-1/2” bolts
through the holes from the inside of step to
the outside. Thread on two of the ¼” x 20 hex
nuts and tighten with a 7/16” wrench. Cap the
end of screws using plastic acorn nuts.
#11: Repeat Step #10 to install
second short post on opposite side panel.
#12: Using the same procedure as in Step #10
attach both long posts to the lower post loca-
tions on both side panels.
#14: Place handrails over posts and tap
down into place. Attach the handrail to each
post using a #10 x 1-1/4” self tapping screw.
