Operation Of The Basemate
The close fitting tolerances are required to achieve positive locking of the ladder to the Basemate Leg. The patented locking system is designed to lock in one direction, for easy one-foot operation.
Keep BASEMATE clean and free of dirt, especially in the cylinder and leg. The leg can be easily removed from the brackets should you require removing mud or road silt from within the cylinder, or for long term storage during harsh weather conditions. In salty regions, rinse periodically with fresh water, and lubricate the parts with light oil.

With ladder vertical, balance the ladder on the foot which contacts the ground first (high side). Press the lock plate (4) on this side with your foot, releasing the lock allowing the leg to slide through the attachment brackets. You may hear a chattering sound which is normal.
NOTE: It is the weight of the ladder, not the force of your foot, which causes the ladder to level. Stepping too hard against the lock plate will cause the cylinder to bind against the leg and resist movement. Press only to the stop, and with practice you will easily adjust the ladder by quickly tapping the lock plate.
For large and heavy ladders, you may find it easier to balance the ladder against the wall before adjusting the leg. Remember to always level your ladder first before extending higher sections.
The steel leg and brackets are plated to resist corrosion and will provide years of use. Always store ladders in a dry place. A light film of oil over the leg will help prevent corrosion and allow smooth operation.
