• Place the bottom step (AC 22438) on a
hard, level surface with the recessed areas
facing upwards.
• Hold the ladder assembly over the
bottom step and align the pivot balls
with the round recessed areas on the
bottom step.
• Push down firmly until both pivot balls click
into place.
• Standing with the ladder in front of you,
push the ladder forward and pull it back
towards you to check that pivot balls are
in place. The ladder should swivel forward
and backward, and the pivot balls should
not pop out of place.
•
Push one pivot ball (BS STPBALL) onto the
round bottom opening of the ladder. The
rounded end should face downward.
• You may need to use force or gently tap
the pivot ball into place with a rubber mallet
to get it properly positioned.
• Repeat for second rail and other pivot ball.
• Check to ensure that both pivot balls are
fastened securely as these are what hold
the ladder onto the bottom step.
NOTE:
• You may need to use some force to get the pivot balls to
click into place.
