5.1 Adjusting Height

The VEVOR Step Stool features three-stage height adjustments for both the stool legs and the handrail. Hole positioning locks provide an easy way to adjust the height while maintaining stability.

1. Remove Handrail (Recommended): For easier adjustment of the leg height, it is suggested to remove the handrail first by pressing the pins and pulling the handrail upwards.
2. Adjust Leg Height: Press the spring-loaded pins on each leg and slide the leg extension to the desired height setting. Ensure the pins fully engage in the corresponding holes for all four legs.
3. Adjust Handrail Height: If the handrail was removed, re-insert it. Then, press the pins on the handrail posts and slide them to the desired height. Ensure the pins fully engage.
4. Verify Stability: Always double-check that all pins are securely locked in place before using the step stool.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Assembling Legs/Handrail: The components are designed for a tight fit to ensure stability. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., soap, hand lotion, or WD-40) to the connecting ends. Use a rubber mallet or firm pressure to fully engage the parts. Ensure the spring-loaded pins are depressed when inserting and then allowed to snap into the desired holes.
• Stool Feels Unstable: Double-check that all height adjustment pins are fully engaged and locked into their respective holes. Ensure the step stool is placed on a flat, even surface. Verify that all rubber foot covers are present and intact.
• Slipping: Ensure the anti-slip surface on the pedal is clean and dry. Check that the rubber foot covers are not worn or missing.
