Get Your Solar Coaster Ready to Roll:
Easy Assembly Guide

Preparation:
-
Unpack all components and lay them out for easy access.
​
Step 1: Attach the Master Pulley
-
Remove U Brackets: Loosen the lock nuts and remove the U brackets from the master pulley.
-
Position the Pulley on Ladder: Place the master pulley between the top two steps of your ladder, with the pulley side facing the front.
-
The oval-shaped slots on the master pulley should be at the top.
-
-
Mount the Bottom U Bracket:
-
Attach the bottom U bracket first.
-
Ensure the top edge of the U bracket touches the top of the second step before tightening to the master pulley.
-
-
Mount the Top U Bracket:
-
Attach the top U bracket, making sure the top edge touches the top step.
-
Tighten all lock nuts securely.
-
Note: The ring bolts on the U brackets serve as anchor points to attach the Solar Coaster to your rooftop.
Step 2: Attach the Solar Coaster Cart to the Ladder
​
-
Remove Cover Plate: Unscrew the 4 screws to remove the cover plate from the Solar Coaster cart.
-
Position the Cart:
-
With the 6 bearings facing towards the ladder, position the cart facing you.
-
Place it on the inner side of the ladder.
-
-
Adjust the Bearings:
-
Loosen all 6 bearings slightly to allow the bearing brackets to slide for a secure fit.
-
-
Center and Fit the Cart:
-
Center the cart and fit the ladders inside edge into the U-groove of each bearing.
-
Gently tighten bearings for a temporary hold.
-
-
Secure Bearings:
-
Once the ladder fits snugly in all 6 U-groove bearings, tighten them firmly.
-
Tip: Use a rubber mallet to tap bearings left or right for a snug fit before tightening.
-
Step 3: Attach the Rope Brake
-
Position the Brake on Ladder:
-
Fix the quick-release clamps around the bottom step with the rope brake facing up towards the ladder top.
-
-
Check Brake Clearance:
-
Test the handle to ensure it doesn’t hit the ladder when the rope is released.
-
-
Secure with Safety Chain: Clip the safety chain around the step and fasten to secure the brake.
Step 4: Attach the Ladder Legs
-
Determine Left and Right Brackets:
-
The left and right leg brackets have square tube holders at the rear.
-
The orange hand fasteners should face the front.
-
-
Position Brackets on Ladder:
-
Align each leg bracket with the ladder’s bottom two steps.
-
Note: If necessary, you may need to cut the bottom of the ladder. Ensure that the bottom of the ladder is no longer than the U-channel or slightly above the orange handles for a secure fit.
-
-
Attach with Threaded Rods:
-
Pass the M12 threaded rods through the steps, securing each with lock nuts (avoid over-tightening).
-
-
Slide Legs In:
-
Loosen all 4 orange hand fasteners.
-
Insert one leg into each bracket from the bottom of the bracket.
-
Step 5: Mount the Rope Spool
-
Measure for Parallel Alignment:
-
Measure between the inside edges of the bottom square tubes where the legs slide.
-
Ensure the measurement matches the length of the rope spool tube.
-
-
Adjust Length if Needed:
-
Use washers to extend the tube if needed.
-
If the tube is too long, carefully trim for smooth leg extension (this won’t void the warranty).
-
-
Secure Spool:
-
Insert the threaded rod through both legs and the rope spool tube.
-
Tighten with black hand nuts.
-
-
Test Leg Extension:
-
Slide the legs up and down to confirm smooth movement.
-
Step 6: Weave the Rope Through the Pulleys
-
Start from the Bottom:
-
With the cart at the ladder bottom, start with the open end of the rope (without the eye bolt).
-
-
Weave Through Lower Pulley:
-
Looking down, thread the rope down the left side of the bottom pulley and back up the right.
-
-
Weave Through Top Pulley:
-
Looking up, pass the rope through the left side of the top pulley and then down the right.
-
-
Pass Through Rope Brake:
-
Feed the rope through the brake at the ladder bottom.
-
Tip: Raise the handle to pass the rope through smoothly.
-
-
Attach Excess Rope:
-
Use cable ties to secure the excess rope to the rope spool.
-
-
Attach Eye Bolt:
-
Use a hex 5 bolt and spring washer to attach the eye bolt to the top pulley for additional safety.
-
Final Step: Spool the excess rope securely at the bottom of your ladder.
