Bottom Ladder Hardware
1. Mark a line on the bottom of each side rail 1½” in from the front edge
(figure 16)
.
2. Line up the Bottom Wheel Housing to the line drawn on the bottom of the side rail of
the ladder using the “U” bracket portion of the housing. Verify that the bracket is flush
with the bottom of the ladder. Because of the 12-degree angle of the bottom of the
ladder this will align the housing diagonally across the ladder side rail
(figure 17)
.
3. Using a ” drill bit, predrill the hole for the Philips-drive pan-head ¾” long screw and
secure the Bottom Wheel Housing to the inside of the ladder side rail
(see below)
.
4. Using a ¼” drill bit and the top
fastener hole in the Bottom Wheel
Housing as a guide, drill a through
hole in the ladder side rail
(figure 18).
5. Use the nut cap/threaded rod and
the acorn nut to fasten the top of the
Bottom Wheel Housing to the ladder
side rail (using a 4 mm Allen wrench
and a 10 mm open end wrench)
(
see the three images below)
