12. Equipment carried while using a
ladder should be light and easy
to handle.
13. Avoid work that imposes a
sideways load on standing
ladders, such as side-on drilling
through solid materials (e.g. brick
or concrete).
14. Maintain a handhold whilst
working from a ladder or take
additional safety precautions if
you cannot.
15. Never erect or use the ladder
upside down. The base should
always sit firmly on the ground.
16. Do not leave an extended ladder
unattended.
17. Do not place any tools or other
objects on the rungs and do not
hang anything on the ladder.
18. Do not slide down the stiles of the
ladder. Climb and descend with
deliberate movements.
19. Always maintain 3 points of
contact with the ladder at all
times e.g. two feet on the same
rung and a hand on the stiles. Use
additional safety equipment if this
is not possible.
20. The user shall put the hands
around the stile when bringing
the ladder from extended to
storage position.
21. Take care when closing the
ladder to not catch any fingers,
clothing or hair in the
mechanisms.
REPAIR, MAINTENANCE AND
STORAGE
1. Repairs and maintenance shall
be carried out by a competent
person with suitable replacement
parts. Unapproved third party
spares are not recommended
and will void your warranty.
2. Fully collapse the ladder, closing
all rungs and secure before
storage or handling.
3. Clean with a suitable proprietary
household cleaner and a soft dry
cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly
before storing.
4. Do not submerge your ladder in
water or any liquid for any reason.
5. Store your ladder indoors in a dry
environment away from
contaminants. Do not rest other
objects on the ladder. Only store
the ladder when it is dry.
6. Do not subject your ladder to
humid or damp environments.
These can damage the ladder.
7. Store the correct way up. The
base should always sit on the
ground. If possible secure the
ladder to the wall to prevent
them falling accidentally.
