Hook Microlite on rungs
3 and 4 or rungs 4 and 5 of the
ladder, creating a minimum
handhold of 1 metre.
Position both wheels on the roof
so that the ladder is
supported
clear of the gutter or edge.
Adjust ladder angle and allow the
Microlite to settle into place.
Make sure that the ladder stiles
are touching the lower back bar
of the Microlite
. This ensures
the correct working position of the
Microlite.
Gutters
When required to
access or clean a gutter,
follow the procedure for
sloping roof. See page 6.
Although the Microlite can
be hooked on rungs 2
and 3 if preferred.
Important
Keep the projecting limbs of the
Microlite as far over the roof top as
possible without touching the edge
Do not allow the wheels to get
trapped in the angle of the reverse
incline or lip at the edge of the flat
roof
Check that the top hook is fully
engaged before climbing
