BOTTOM LADDER HARDWARE

1.  Mark a line on the bottom of each side rail 1 1/2” in from the front edge 

(figure 16)

. 

2.  Line up the Bottom Wheel Housing to the line drawn on the bottom of the side rail of the ladder using the 

“U” bracket portion of the housing. Verify that the bracket is flush with the bottom of the ladder. Because 

of the 12-degree angle of the bottom of the ladder this will align the housing diagonally across the ladder 

side rail 

(figure 17)

Wheel Housing to the inside of the ladder side rail 

(see below)

. 

4.  Using a 1/4” drill bit and the top fastener hole in the 

Bottom Wheel Housing as a guide, drill a through 

hole in the ladder side rail 

(figure 18)

. 

5.  Use the nut cap/threaded rod and the acorn nut to 

fasten the top of the Bottom Wheel Housing to the 

ladder side rail (using a 4mm Allen wrench and a 

10mm open end wrench).
