4.1 Cleaning the ladders
You can clean the products using common detergents with water, or alcohol. In case of colour
stains occurring due to painting, it is possible to use the respective thinners designated to dilute
colours being used.
Clean the joints with compressed air and lubricate with oil (e.g. WD40). Do not use engine or
transmission oil, as this would cause unnecessary clotting with debris in the joints.
4.2 Storage of ladders
1) Store multi-purpose ladders in dry, airy places, in collapsed state.
2) The ladders should not be subject to direct long-term influence of weather conditions.
3) Do not store the ladder in vertical position, especially when it’s not secured against falling, and
if there is a risk of children accessing it.
4) Lubricate the moving parts (snaps, joints) with oil prior to storage.
