COLLAPSING AND EXTENDING A TELESCOPIC LADDER
Important! Follow the instructions below closely when collapsing and extending a telescopic ladder. This
will help prevent fingers becoming caught between the rungs and the uneven spaces in between!
EXTENDING THE INTEGRATED WALL SUPPORT WITH TOOLBAG
(ONLY TELE-PROMATIC/TL SMART UP PRO)
The Tele-Promatic/TL Smart Up Pro can be used with or without the wall support. Depending on the work that
has to be performed, you can decide whether or not to use the wall support.
- Undo the Velcro of the Toolbag
- Pull one side of the wall support from the ladder (do not lock this yet)
- Slide the other side of the wall support out of the ladder
- Lock both arms by pushing these down until they lock.
- Check both locks (figure 1 B)
- A weight of no more than 2.5 kg can be carried in the Toolbag of the wall support (figure 1 A).
- Do not place objects in the Toolbag that may damage the Toolbag (i.e. sharp or hot objects).
- Only place small objects in the Toolbag and no objects that protrude out of the Toolbag.
Extending the top arms
The TL Smart-up Active is fitted with top arms. Extend one top arm until it locks. Repeat with the second arm.
Check the position of the unlocking/locking slides on the top rung of the ladder (Fig. 2D). No red marking should
be visible directly beside these slides.
EXTENDING A TELESCOPIC LADDER TO MAXIMUM HEIGHT
- Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and stable surface.
- Place a foot on the lowest rung or on the stability beam to keep the ladder in the correct position when
extending this.
- Make sure that the front side of the ladder is facing you. The front side can be recognized from the
unlocking/locking slides on the second rung at the bottom.
- When extending a telescopic ladder, start with the uppermost rung and extend this until the rung locks into
place. This will not lock until the rung that is underneath is also pulled upwards when extending the ladder.
The rung will not lock into place until this has happened. The rung has locked when the locking buttons (to
the left and right underneath the rung) are fully protruding (figure 2 C). For additional safety, the ladder has
been fully dampened preventing rapid closure when the ladder is collapsed or extended. Additional physical
strength may therefore be required to extend the ladder.
- Repeat this with the subsequent rungs until you have extended the telescopic ladder to its maximum height.
- Again check the position of all locking buttons underneath the rungs (figure 2 C) and the catches at the
bottom of the ladder (figure 2 D).
- Also ensure that all of the spaces between the rungs are equal (figure 2 B).
