Using these Buildman drywall stilts is easy. First, adjust the height to your desired level in 2 - inch increments. Make sure the height is appropriate for your task and your height. Then, secure the adjustable anti - fatigue padded comfort straps around your legs. This will keep the stilts in place and help reduce tiredness. When walking on the stilts, take small, steady steps and be careful of your balance. Remember, the load capacity is 225 lb, so don't exceed this weight. For maintenance, keep the stilts clean after each use. Wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Check the anodized aluminum for any signs of damage regularly. Also, inspect the dual spring action and the one - piece rubber sole for wear and tear. If you notice any problems, stop using the stilts and get them repaired. Store the stilts in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and damage.
