Back leg weldment, wheel brackets (caster tilter frames in exploded parts diagrams, 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.
