INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE

 

Inspect the unit as instructed. Inspections and all necessary repairs should be performed by qualified persons. 

Compare the results of each inspection to the 

RECORD

 

OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION

. Do not use the ladder 

unless every part is in satisfactory condition. If you have any questions about the condition of your ladder, contact the 

Technical Service

 

department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual. 

Never make 

temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts

. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts to restore the 

ladder to satisfactory condition. 

 

Before each use,

 inspect the ladder for any sustained damage, such as unusual wear, deterioration, or corrosion. 

Look for loose connections. Tighten all loose connections. Whenever a lock nut is partially or completely unfastened, 

it must be replaced with a new lock nut. Check cotter pins at each end of the wheel axle, the wheels, and the square 

caps (99-024-027) for damage. 

 

Regular inspections:

 

At least once per month  inspect

  the following items. Replace all parts that are damaged 

before using the ladder again. DO NOT continue to use the ladder if damage cannot be repaired.

 

  Handrails and platform bar: Inspect both handrails. Confirm that they are solidly fastened to the steps. Each 

handrail should be rigid and undamaged. Examine the platform and platform bar. Confirm that the bar is securely 

fastened to the handrails. Tighten nuts and bolts, if necessary. 

  Back leg weldment, wheel brackets (caster tilter frames in exploded views, pages 4-7) and wheels: Make sure that 

the back leg weldment is not bent, twisted, etc. Wheels must not be severely worn otherwise they will not roll 

smoothly. Examine the wheel brackets and hardware for damage. Tighten nuts and bolts. 

  Frame members (step weldment, back leg weldment, braces, handrails) and all fasteners (bolts, nuts, pins): Inspect 

each frame member for damage like excessive wear, bends, and cracks. All frame pieces should be square, rigid, 

and free of rust and corrosion. Remove rust with steel wool or a metal bristle brush and apply touch-up paint to the 

affected area. Check the areas where frame members are bolted together. Check the areas around bolt holes for 

cracks, elongated bolt holes, etc. 

  Square caps: Check the caps for cracks and excessive or uneven wear. If a cap requires replacement, install 

replacement caps before returning the ladder to service. 

 

Maintenance

: In addition to correcting issues discovered during inspections, maintain the ladder by

 

  Cleaning it with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime, especially from step surfaces. Let the ladder dry completely 

before returning it to service. 

  Lubricating

 

bolts when necessary for the wheels to rotate freely. 

  Applying touchup paint wherever the finish is damaged as soon as damage occurs 

 

LABELING DIAGRAM

 

Each unit should be labeled as shown in the diagram. Label content and 

location are subject to change so your product might not be labeled exactly as 

shown. Compare the diagram below to your 

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY 

CONDITION

. If there are any differences between actual labeling and this 

diagram, contact 

TECHNICAL SERVICE

. Replace all labels that are damaged, 

missing, or not easily readable (e.g. faded). To order replacement labels or to 

inquire whether your unit is properly labeled, contact the technical service and 

parts department online at 

http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_info.htm

  or by 

calling (260) 665-7586 and asking for the Parts Department. 

 

 

 

      

 

 

         

 

 

 

C: Label 287 (on nosing of a step) 

 

 

B: Label 729A (on 

nosing of a step) 

 

A: Label 740 (on nosing of a step or platform) 

 

D: Label 821 (on nosing of a step) 

 

NOTE  1

: Label locations might vary from the diagram for 

ladders with fewer steps. Include label locations in the 

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION

.  

 

NOTE 2:

 

Attach a protected copy of this manual to the ladder to 

provide access to this manual to all persons who use the ladder. 

For example, a copy of the manual can be placed inside a 

transparent plastic pouch or folder that is tied to the ladder 

frame. An appropriate place to tie the folder is the rear frame.
