Setup and Assembly

Your HBTower 3-Step Folding Ladder comes mostly pre-assembled. Only the top handle with the tool tray needs to be attached.

1. Unfolding the Ladder: Carefully unfold the ladder until it is fully extended. Ensure the metal safety buckle at the back automatically locks into place.
2. Attaching the Handle and Tool Tray: Insert the two ends of the handle's formed tubing into the corresponding openings on the main frame. Secure it using the provided two-piece screw fasteners.
3. Securing the Tool Tray Supports: Attach the free ends of the two pre-attached tray support arms to the opposite sides of the top tread, using the remaining two-piece screw fasteners.
4. Final Check: Verify that all screws are tightened and the ladder is stable before use.

Operation

To operate your HBTower 3-Step Folding Ladder safely:

1. Positioning: Place the ladder on a flat, stable surface. Avoid uneven ground, soft carpets, or slippery floors.
2. Verify Stability: Gently push on the ladder to ensure it does not wobble or slide.
3. Climbing: Face the ladder when climbing or descending. Use the handgrip for support. Step firmly on the center of each pedal.
4. Using the Tool Tray: Place tools, paint cans, or other items securely in the designated compartments of the tool tray. Do not overload the tray.
5. Working Height: Do not stand on the top step if it causes you to overreach. The top step is designed for holding tools, not for standing.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your ladder:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the ladder with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or non-slip surfaces.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all parts for damage, wear, or loose fasteners. Check the rubber feet, pedals, and locking mechanism.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of lubricant to hinges if folding becomes stiff.
• Storage: Store the ladder in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.

Storage

To fold and store your HBTower 3-Step Folding Ladder:

1. Clear the Tray: Remove all items from the tool tray.
2. Release Lock: Locate the metal safety buckle at the back of the ladder and disengage it.
3. Fold: Gently push the back legs towards the front frame until the ladder folds flat.
4. Secure: Ensure the ladder is fully folded and compact. Its slim profile (1.6 inches) allows for storage in narrow spaces, such as behind a door or in a closet.
