Repairs and maintenance
A competent person should periodically carry out repairs and maintenance according to the instructions of Kelfort.
REMARK:
A competent person is someone who is skilled to carry out repairs and maintenance e.g., after completing an Kelfort
training course.
- Please contact Kelfort or the distributor for repairs and replacement parts (for example, feet).
Additional safety instructions for using ladders
- Never wear loose-hanging clothing or jewellery. When accessing or descending the ladder, they can get caught and therefore,
create the risk of falling.
- Regularly check whether the feet are not worn. Worn-out feet can damage the surface or make the ladder slide away.
- For your personal safety, only use accessories or aids that Kelfort recommends.
- Do not put tools or other materials under the ladder, because you might trip over them.
- Always work with two people to lift a ladder heavier than 25 kg.
Replacement parts delivered by Kelfort should be mounted onto the appropriate Kelfort 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. Kelfort is not liable for
damage caused by incorrect mounting and/or repair. Kelfort can be engaged for a fee to repair your product and/or mounting the
parts concerned.
Storage
- Ladders should be stored according to the instructions of Kelfort.
- Ladders, which are made from thermoplastic or thermosetting material or reinfor ced 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.
- Do not coat wooden ladders 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).
