Ladder Assembly
The ladder assembly is best built on the vehicle to ensure the ladder is properly spaced from the rear hatch.
Place the clamp bracket onto the swing arm and install the two bolts. Tack the two 1.75” base tubes onto the clamp bracket at the outer edges of the clamp following the angle of the rear hatch. When in place, the top of the tubes should measure 14” apart outside. See Pic 22
For ladder #2 tack the first (square sleeved) rung between the two upright tubes. Since the angle of the hatch determines the angle of the upright tubes you may have to adjust the notch to fit the first rung so that it is parallel to the ground. See Pic 23
Tack the top main hoop of the ladder to the uprights making sure to get the hoop the right distance away from the hatch. This distance will vary depending on what you want. Closer is good for clearance. Further is better for foot room when climbing up.
Tack the second rung into place adjusting the notch to suit your needs. See Pic 24
