Closing the ladder:
•
Before closing the ladder, clean the ladder and areas around the nylon fittings from any debris and
contaminants.
•
Maintain the ladder in a vertical position with one hand and set your foot on the first tread from the bottom.
• With your hand, clamp the red one-touch release sliding buttons (illustration 5) located under the second tread from
the bottom, while your other hand is holding tightly to the upright. (This prevents the ladder from collapsing on its own)
• With both hands on the ladder uprights, slowly collapse the treads together, sliding the uprights within
themselves. (illustration 5 and 6). The lower treads are folded first.
Caution!
To avoi
d pinching your fingers, do not place them on or between the treads when closing the ladder.
