2. Traditional Method Setup (Lock Tabs Only)
a) Starting from the small stepladder mode, unlock the outer ladder locks, and completely
remove both outer ladder assemblies from the inner ladder assembly. Set the inner
ladder assembly aside; it makes up the first of the two trestles.
b) Turn the two outer ladder assemblies so they are facing the same direction, then hold
them together and stand them up vertically. If your ladder has TIP & GLIDE
position the outer ladder assemblies so the wheels face out (Fig. 42).
c) Take the lock tabs from the back outer ladder assembly and lock them into the holes
on the front section (Fig. 43).
d) To form the second trestle, lift up slightly on the back section, and then pull the two
sections out into an A-frame position (Fig. 44-45).
NOTE: If this step is done incorrectly, you will damage your ladder and void your
warranty.

3. Additional Scaffolding Trestle Safety Information
a) Regardless of your ladder's duty rating (Type/Grade I, IA, or IAA), when used as a
scaffolding system, it has a one-man, 250 lb [113 kg] duty rating. For your safety, never
exceed this duty rating or have more than one person on the plank at a time.
b) Never use either of the trestles as individual stepladders.
c) ANSI and CSA rules state that the scaffolding plank should not be used as a standing
platform at heights greater than three times the minimum width of the base section. As
such, only use the plank as a standing platform up to the third rung. If the plank is
above the third rung, it may be used as a work bench, but not a standing platform, and
it should be secured or guyed for stability.
d) If your plank is not equipped with cleats or hooks, extend the ends of the plank at least
6" [15 cm], but not more than 12" [30 cm], past the support point, and never stand on
the cantilevered ends of the plank.
e) When reassembling the ladder, make sure the outer rungs point outward.
