Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when working with ladders and accessories. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

• Weight Capacity: The Work Platform is rated to hold up to 375 lbs (170 kg), matching the capacity of most Little Giant ladders. Do not exceed this weight limit.
• Proper Placement: Always ensure the Work Platform is securely hooked onto the ladder rungs as described in the 'Setup and Installation' section.
• Three Points of Contact: Maintain three points of contact (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand) with the ladder at all times when climbing or descending.
• Stable Surface: Use the Work Platform on a stable, level surface. Ensure the ladder itself is properly set up and stable before use.
• Avoid Top Rungs: Do not use the Work Platform on the top three rungs of an A-frame ladder or the top four rungs of an extension ladder. This is to prevent overreaching and maintain stability.
• Inspection: Before each use, inspect the Work Platform for any damage, wear, or loose components. Do not use if damaged.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Work Platform.

• Cleaning: Clean the Work Platform with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storage.
• Inspection: Periodically check all welds, rivets, and moving parts for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure the nylon washers and lock nuts are secure.
• Storage: When not in use, the Work Platform can be stored neatly inside the folded Little Giant articulating ladder. Simply turn it upside down and place the lip on the second rung from the bottom, then close the ladder. This keeps it secure and prevents loss.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Work Platform, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Platform feels unstable: Ensure both sets of hooks are properly engaged with the ladder rungs. Check that the ladder itself is on a firm, level surface and is fully locked in its position.
• Platform is difficult to slide: Check for any debris or obstructions in the sliding mechanism. Clean the low-friction strips on either side of the platform.
• Platform does not fit: Verify that your ladder is a Little Giant multi-use or articulating ladder. The Work Platform is designed specifically for these models.
