STEP 2 – Assemble the  Cross Rail (E) to the recesses in Left Rail (C) and Right Rail (D) using 

Barrel Nuts (I), and 5/16” x 3-1/4” Hex Bolts with washers (J).
a.  Identify Cross Rail (E), Barrel nuts (I) and 5/16” x 3-1/4” Hex Bolts with washers (J).
b.  Refer to Figure 7.   Slide the Cross Rail between each of the Rails (C, D) so that it slots into 

the recesses. The two holes in the Cross Rail should face inward, toward the Upholstered 

Barrel Assembly. The rails may need to be separated slightly to fit the Cross Rail between 

them, but be careful they do not disengage the spring-loaded plungers on the insides 

of the Upholstered Barrel Assembly.  If they do slip out and disengage the spring-loaded 

plungers, go back to Step 1-c and reference Figures 5 and 6 to verify correct position.

c. 

Refer to  Figure 8.  Insert one Barrel  Nut (I) into each hole located on the Cross Rail 

(E) with the slotted end facing the Upholstered Barrel Assembly.  Using a Flathead 

Screwdriver, rotate the Barrel Nut until the slot is horizontal.  Insert one  5/16” x 3-1/4” Hex 

Bolt with washer (J) through each rail from the outside until it engages the threads of the 

Barrel Nut.  Thread the Hex Bolts into the Barrel Nuts, but do not fully tighten at this time.

STEP 3 – Assemble the  Ladder (B) to the L-Brackets on Left and Right Rails (C, D) using 

1-1/4” Binding Post Screws (male and female) (F, G).

a.  Orient the  Ladder (B) so that the black, plastic hole plugs near the top are facing outward, 

away from the Upholstered Barrel Assembly.

b.  Slide the  Ladder between the pre-mounted L-Brackets on each Rail so that the holes are 

aligned.

c. 

Refer to  Figure 9.  Carefully squeeze approximately one drop of Loctite into the female 

Binding Post Screw (G).  Use caution with Loctite, it comes out of the tube quickly.  

Beginning at the left side of the Ladder, insert one 1-1/4” Binding Post Screw (female) 

(G) from the inside of the Ladder through the L-Bracket  and Ladder.  From the other side, 

insert one 1-1/4” Binding Post Screw (male) (F).  Using the two 3/16” Allen (Hex) Wrenches 

included, thread the male and female Binding Post Screws together, but do not tighten. 

Repeat these steps for the remaining two holes in the L-Bracket on Left Rail (C).

d.  Move to  the three holes in the L-Bracket on Right Rail (D) and repeat the process using 

the remaining three Binding Post Screws (F, G).  Using the two 3/16” Allen (Hex) Wrenches, 

fully tighten the three sets of Binding Post Screws that attach the Ladder to the L-Brackets 

on each side.

STEP 4 - Tighten all Fasteners and Insert ¾” Plastic Hole Plugs (K)

a.  Using a  Socket Wrench with ½” Socket, firmly tighten both 5/16” x 3-1/4” Hex Bolts from 

Step 2.  Insert one ¾” Plastic Hole Plug (K) into each Rail.

b.  Using the  two included 3/16” Allen (Hex) Wrenches, verify that all six (6) sets of Binding 

Post Screws (F, G) from Step 3 are firmly tightened.

STEP 5 – Test Your Assembled High Ladder Barrel 

a.  Your High Ladder Barrel should sit flat on the floor.
b.  Test the function of the sliding mechanism by unlocking the Lever-Lock on each side 

of the Upholstered Barrel.  Figures 10 and 11 show the Lever-Lock in two possible 

unlocked positions. After placing the two Lever-Locks are in an unlocked position, push 

the Upholstered Barrel Assembly back and forth along the rails.  The Upholstered Barrel 

Assembly should slide smoothly with minimal resistance. 

c. 

Test the function of the locked position of the Lever-Locks.  Refer to Figure 12 and place 

the Lever-Lock on each side of the barrel in its locked position.  When in this position, the 

Upholstered Barrel Assembly should not slide along the rails.

STEP 6 – Install Flat Foot Plate (OPTIONAL accessory item). 

Refer to Figure 13.   Set the Flat Foot Plate on to the Rails (C, D), upholstered side facing upward.  

The wooden cleats on the underside of the Flat Foot Plate slot between the rails and secure it 

from moving laterally.

STEP 7 – Install Vertical Foot Plate (OPTIONAL accessory item)

Refer  to Figure 14. Locate the metal bracket on the back of the Vertical Foot Plate and slide it 

over the bottom cross-brace on Ladder (B).
