4. Setup and Assembly

The PEPE Mobility Adjustable Step Stool is designed for tool-free assembly. Follow these steps to assemble your step stool:

1. Attach Leg Assemblies: Insert each leg assembly into the designated slots on the underside of the step stool platform. Ensure the metal pins on the leg assemblies align with the holes in the platform.
2. Secure Legs: From the underside of the platform, insert a securing knob with its washer through the hole and into the threaded opening of each leg assembly. Turn clockwise to tighten until snug. Do not overtighten.
3. Adjust Height (Initial): Before final use, adjust each leg to your desired height. Press the brass pin on each leg extension and slide the inner tube up or down until the pin locks into one of the three adjustment holes. Ensure all four legs are set to the same height for stability.
