SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products, but no manual can address every 

conceivable risk. Reduce risk  by applying sound judgment whenever using this device. Acquire a copy of the latest 

version of ANSI A14.7 (“A14.7” or the “Standard”). Apply all parts of the Standard that concern using, inspecting, 

maintaining & repairing of the ladder. 

Keep a copy of this manual with the ladder at all times, e.g. 

inside a plastic 

pouch attached to the frame. 

Anyone who uses this ladder must be made aware that a copy of the manual is 

available and where to find it.

 

 

  If this product is used improperly  or 

carelessly, the user and/or bystanders might sustain serious 

personal injuries or could even be killed.  ALWAYS use the product properly: 

 

Read & understand the entire manual before assembling, using, inspecting, or servicing the ladder.

 

 

DO NOT use this ladder unless you are in good health. NEVER use the ladder while under the influence of alcohol or 

drugs, including prescription medication that affects balance, perception, or judgment.

 

 

DO NOT exceed the capacity/rated load. The total weight applied to the ladder (weight of the user plus tools, etc.) 

must not be greater than the capacity. The capacity is provided on label 287. See 

LABELING DIAGRAM

 on p. 18. 

 

Wear appropriate footwear. DO NOT wear high-heeled shoes or footwear with smooth soles.  

 

DO NOT use the ladder on uneven, sloped, or unstable surfaces. ONLY use the ladder on even, level surfaces. 

 

Make sure that you will not contact overhead objects with either your body or with the ladder during use.  

 

Avoid electrical shock! Take precautions to prevent any contact, or possible contact, with an energized, insulated 

conductor (electrical line). 

 

Remove foreign matter, e.g. mud, from your shoes 

before

 walking on the ladder. Only wear slip-resistant shoes. 

 

Only stand on the steps or the platform. DO NOT climb onto the railing. DO NOT slide on the railing. 

 

DO NOT access, or egress from, any step or the platform from another elevated surface unless the ladder is positively 

secured against movement. 

 

ALWAYS face the stairs and use the handrails while ascending and descending the ladder.  

 

DO NOT increase the height of the platform or of a step by standing on other objects placed on the ladder. 

 

Inspect the ladder as described in 

INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE

 on p. 17-18. DO NOT use the ladder unless it is in 

Satisfactory Condition

. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts when repairs are necessary. 

 

DO NOT use the ladder if the caps on the front legs are significantly worn. See applicable 

EXPLODED VIEW

 on p. 4-13. 

Caps should prevent the ladder from sliding. If either or both caps are too worn to function properly, replace them 

before using the ladder again. 

 

ONLY use the ladder to access elevated working positions. DO NOT use the ladder for any other purpose. DO NOT 

store materials and/or equipment on the steps or platform. Always unload the ladder before leaving it unattended. 

 

DO NOT position an occupied ladder in front of a door unless that door is secured in an open position, is locked, is 

attended, or is barricaded. 

 

DO NOT lean, or reach, over the handrails or guardrails of the ladder. Position the ladder as close to the work as 

possible. Reposition the ladder to prevent overreaching. Overreaching could cause instability and result in a fall. 

 

Avoid sudden shifts while on the ladder. DO NOT push, pull, or lean on the handrails or guardrails. 

 

DO NOT skip steps. Climb the ladder one step at a time.
