as mentioned above.

1. D-ring release lubrication instructions
a) Start by removing the outer ladder assembly with the RATCHET Levelers from the
inner ladder assembly.
b) Generously apply the dry lubricant inside the tops of the leveler legs, coating the inside
of the faces with the holes for the locking pins (Fig. 64).
c) Extend the RATCHET levelers, and generously apply the dry lubricant to all external
surfaces of the leveler legs, making sure not to get any of the lubricant on the ladder
feet (Fig. 65).
d) Generously apply the dry lubricant to the insides of the D-ring housings located on the
outer ladder assembly side rails (Fig. 66).
e) Wipe off any excess lubricant from all areas with a dry rag before retracting the
RATCHET levelers and returning the ladder to service.

ladder rails, making sure not to get any of the lubricant on the ladder feet (Fig. 69-70),
then extend and retract the legs several times.
