    SAFETY PRECAUTION:

 

    CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE

 

    LADDER UPON RECEIPT AND

 

    BEFORE EACH USE.  NEVER USE

 

    A BROKEN OR DAMAGED LADDER.

PART TWO.

  

 

Using the Transforma Ladder System

  

 

      The Transforma Ladder System has

 

      two mechanical components:

 

A.

  The adjustable hinge found at the top of the    

 

      ladder when it is in the storage position, allows 

 

      you to rotate the legs and reconfigure the ladder.

 

 

      This hinge rotates and locks into these three       

 

      positions.  (See Figures A-1, A-2, and A-3).

 

1.

  Unlock the hinges by pushing both Palm   

      

     Buttons straight in until they stay in the open  

 

     position.  (See Figures A-4 and A-5).

 

     a.  NOTE - Any pressure on the hinge    

 

 

      lock pins may make it          

 

 

      difficult to unlock the hinge.    

 

 

      Relieve the pressure by  

 

 

 

      simply jiggling one half of    

 

 

      the ladder back and forth  

 

 

 

      until the hinge lock pins can    

 

 

      move freely.

 

     b.  NOTE - DO NOT USE TOOLS TO    

 

 

      FORCE THE HINGE LOCK in or

 

 

      out as this will cause permanent  

 

 

      damage to the hinge mechanism.

 

 

      When the holes are aligned correctly

 

 

      it should only take light pressure to  

 

  

      unlock the hinges.
