Special Instructions

• Weight limit: 225 lbs

• According to Werner, the highest permitted standing level on a step ladder is two steps down from the top–other resources recommend four steps down from the top.

• To determine the safe leaning angle (approx. 75 deg.) of the ladder against an object: place toes against base of ladder; standing erect, extend arms straight out toward ladder at shoulder height; middle of your palms should land on rung at shoulder level.
