Wrap the two short straps around the back rail of the ladder, tightly slot the strap through the metal d-ring and fold back onto itself and secure the hook & loop. [fig. 1] i. If gussets or any other parts of the ladder frame are in the way, shift the pad slightly up or down to avoid. ii. Ensure the grab handle stays on the top of the back rail. [fig. 2] iii. Ensure the pad hangs down the back side of the ladder. d. Wrap the elastic strap on the back of the pad around a support of the back rail of the ladder and secure the clip around the white cord. [fig. 3] e. Wrap the longer securing strap around both rails of the ladder and secure the hook & loop. [fig. 4] 2. Install the outer straps and shoulder strap. a.
