insure its proper functioning. The ladder must be
checked regularly for damages.

wipe the rails with a clean dry cloth. Paint and

be removed immediately.

the event of any visible soiling.

soluble cleaning agents.

scouring agents.

• For repair and replacement of parts, e.g. feet, if
necessary contact the producer or distributor.
