level ground.
2. Stabilise the ladder by placing a
foot on the support foot

3. Extend the ladder from the bot-
tom up, rung by rung until the
desired length is reached (see
fig. D ).
With the aid of the locking
device, each section is automati-
cally locked as soon as the cor-
responding rung

has extended
to its maximum.
4. Make sure that each and every
ladder section is locked before
you climb onto the ladder (see
section “Locking device”).
Extending the ladder to its total
length

3. Extend the ladder from the top
down, rung by rung until the total

Keep in mind that the locking
devices of the ladder only lock

section “Locking device”).
Retracting the ladder
If you activate the lowest
unlock keys (on the second
rung from below), all rungs
of the above ladder section are
automatically unlocked and
retracted. If you begin with one of
the upper rungs, this only unlocks
the rungs above it and the rungs
below must be unlocked separately.
1. Make sure that the ladder stands
on a solid and level ground.
2. When retracting the ladder
ensure that your fingers, hands
and arms are at the height of the
actuated unlock keys.
3. Push both unlock keys of a rung
towards the centre so that the
red area below becomes visible.
The locking device unlocks and
the remainder of the ladder
above the rung is retracted.
