Using these Buildman drywall stilts is easy. First, adjust the height according to your needs. You can set it anywhere from 24 to 40 inches in 2 - inch increments. Then, put on the stilts and use the adjustable anti - fatigue padded comfort straps to secure them tightly around your legs. Make sure they are snug but not too tight to avoid discomfort. When walking, take small and steady steps to maintain balance. The dual spring action provides extra flexibility, so use it to your advantage.
When it comes to safety, always check the stilts before each use. Look for any signs of damage to the frame, straps, or rubber sole. Do not exceed the 225 - lb load capacity. If you're not experienced with using stilts, practice in a safe and open area first.
For maintenance, clean the stilts after each use. Wipe down the aluminum frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Check the rubber sole for wear and tear. If the sole is damaged, replace it as soon as possible. Also, make sure the straps are in good condition and adjust them as needed to keep them effective. Store the stilts in a dry place to prevent rusting of the aluminum frame.
