General instructions
Safe use of telescopic ladders
Repairs and maintenance
A competent person should periodically carry out repairs and maintenance according to the
instructions of Altrex.
REMARK: A competent person is someone who is skilled to carry out repairs and maintenance
e.g., after completing an Altrex training course.
• Please contact the distributor for repairs and replacement parts (for example, feet).
Replacement parts delivered by Q-Tech or Altrex should be mounted onto the appropriate product
and in the same way as the part that will be replaced.
Mounting (fastening) and/or repair activities is at your own expense and risk. Q-Tech and/or
Altrex are not liable for wear/damage caused by incorrect mounting and/or repair.
Cleaning
Preferably, clean a telescopic ladder using water and a dry cloth.
In case of more stubborn spots, use highly diluted synthetic cleaning agents. We discourage the
use of agents produced on the basis of oil or lubricants to clean the ladder. Using incorrect agents
will impact the operation of the telescopic ladder.
Storage
• Ladders should be stored according to the instructions of Altrex.
• Ladders, which are made from thermoplastic or thermosetting material or reinforced plastic
and/or which use these materials, must never be exposed to direct sunlight in their storage
place.
• Keep wooden ladders in a dry place and do not coat them using non-transparent and/or
vapour-proof paint.
Pay attention to the following points when storing ladders:
• Is the ladder stored in a place where its condition might deteriorate quickly (for example, due
to moisture, excessive heat or exposure to the elements)?
• Is the ladder stored in a place that contributes to its straightness (for example, by hanging
the side-rails of the ladder from ladder brackets or by laying the ladder flat on a smooth
surface)?
• Is the ladder stored in a place where it cannot get damaged by vehicles, heavy objects or
contaminated substances?
• Is the ladder stored in a place where it is not an obstacle or constitutes a risk of tripping?
• Is the ladder stored in a safe place where it cannot be used for criminal purposes?
• Is the ladder protected against unauthorised access (for example, by children), if the ladder is
positioned permanently (e.g., on scaffolds).
