How do you step onto this platform from the ladder step?

Keep two hands on the ladder, climb to the step above the platform (with it closed), then with one foot slide the platform into place and step down onto it.

It pivots on the rounded piece on the bottom, allowing it to slide inside the rungs, then you step on the step above and slide the platform back out with your foot and step down. Hard to explain, makes sense when you actually see it working.

Once in place, the platform is designed to fold into the ladder which allows you to use it as a normal step. To use the platform, you go up the ladder to the first rung after the platform and then use your foot to flip the platform out. You can then step onto the platform. To flip the platform out of the way again, you just step up the next rung again and use your foot to flip the platform out of the way again. This allows you to step right past the platform on the way down. There's a vg video on this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raQtR9BVjV0

You need to step one step higher then pull out the step with your foot. Then just step onto it and stand as long as you want. It works on step ladders as well as extension ladders.

Annette, first make sure platform is attached to ladder correctly. Use foot to push step ahead and climbto the next rung above the platform. Then slide your foot back on the platform so the it locks back inplace. Test by putting pressure on platform with foot to see if it locked in place.

It's really quite ingenious. The step pivots inward allowing you to climb past it one step. Then you reach down with a foot and push it back outward. Then you can descend to the step. I find that the platform extends the range that you can safely reach without moving the ladder. Bob

I have usually waded in and simply sat on it. If the kayak is more than a foot or so below dock level, I can see that it might be difficult to transfer in, but you could probably do it by putting both feet in while sitting on the dock and then quickly swinging your bottom in. Wait til the water's warmer to practice that! I have gotten on the kayak at a dock that had a ladder for swimmers by going down the ladder until my bottom was close to kayak-level, then just plopping in and bringing feet in next. To get out, I pulled up close to the ladder and then swung my feet out onto a rung of the ladder and climbed up.

It doesn't have a ladder. It's only about 3 feet, or less, off of the ground. Easy to get onto

It depends on how much of the ladder is actually under water. I would recommend a minimum three steps under water for ease of getting out.

It's easier than you think. Simply stand on the bar then place your feet in the ankle supports, bend over and pull up on the knob so as to click in whichever hole provides your ankles the snuggest support, it will click in. (You have about 4 or 5 holes to choose from) . Then your all ready to go. When your done, do the same, reach down and pull the knob as to release your feet.Remember you have the bar to stand on to ease your stepping off. P.s. remember to come up slowly as todter dizziness

the incline is manual. a knob at the base by the rear of the platform will allow you to adjust to three levels. its very slight at its highest point.

I believe you just step on it with one foot for an instant, and then step off. Wait a few seconds and then it should be ready to weigh.

On this model stairs are not available... only built-in ladder rungs. Thanks, Bunk Bed Kingdom

You don't have to, but when I bought this, I purchased a ladder separately. It was about $40 and made by the same company. The ladder came with metal hooks that hook over the edge near the bottom of the mattress. I think you could attach it with screws, but we didn't. We move it back and forth. You could also climb up onto the bed from either end, but we have one end against a wall and the other is not very accessible as well.

Here you go! This is what I followed to install it. You're going to love this ladder.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWrgvVAFYII

You have to climb the ladder and manually adjust it after loosening it from the pole. It was difficult for two grown men to do it.

You lose use of the top two rungs of the ladder. And you want the ladder right up against the roof or you will created a gap on the step thru. I use ladder pro levelers on the feet portion and it works great. It's very easy to use and very OSHA friendly.

Yes you can....there are settings to steup or step down depending on where you use it..

The highest step on the ladder is about 3'9". You could not reach far enough for 11 feet.This is a marvelous ladder for approx. 9 feet.

I believe the platform was rated at 300 pounds as well as the ladder, the platform can be placed on any rung that has a rung below it. The platform really saves your feet if you have to be up in one position for a long time but is a little tricky to get the hang of at first, pushing in to climb over the step and pulling it back out with your foot to stand on took some trial and error to get right. With some practice at it you learn to position it as you climb over it and then just bump it with your boot to pull it out and the process gets much faster and less frustrating.

The instructions step 2 state the Leveler Shoe Pad should be positioned slightly above the Pad on the Ladder's existing shoe. Two of the mounting holes should be above the first rung and one below.RegardsJay

Like others have stated I always pull he steps out by the top step. I don't think its you. Is it possible you have a defective ladder?
