SOFT TOUCH PUSH KNOB LOCKING HINGE
HINGE OPERATION
For safety, follow these Soft Touch push knob hinge instructions:
The MT Series ladders inner section allows
the ladder to be folded into 3 set positions;
extension ladder, twin stepladder, and
storage. Each of these configurations is
made possible by using the Soft Touch
push knob locking hinge located on each
side of the ladder.
To adjust the angle of the ladder:
1) With the center hinges in the closed
position (See Figure 1) push the push
knobs with the palm of your hand
directly into the center of the ladder,
they will stay in the open position.
2) In the open position (See Figure 2)
the ladder angle can be adjusted.
Note: The open position can be verified
by the exposed triple inner posts on the
push knob (See Figure 2).

3) When the ladder reaches any of the 3 set positions
the push knobs will automatically spring back into the
closed position.
4) To close ladder to the folded position repeat steps 1-3.
Note: Excess pressure on the center hinge will make the
push knob difficult to operate. Do Not Use any tools to pry or
manipulate the hinge and or the push knob. If the push knob
is difficult to use simply move one of the leg sections in or out
to unbind the lock.
• Serious injury or death could result if supporting hinges
are NOT LOCKED when ladder is in use.
• Make certain supporting hinges are LOCKED before
using ladder EACH TIME.

SPRING LOADED “J” LOCKS
LOCK OPERATION
For safety, follow these Spring Loaded “J” Locks instructions:
The MT Series ladders outer sections allow the
ladder to telescope and change heights in all
the configurations, besides the scaffold mode.
Each of these configurations is made possible
using the 4 Spring Loaded “J” locks 2 each on
either side.
The Spring Loaded “J” locks are operated by
pulling straight out and then rotating them away
from the holes in the rails. Each “J” lock works
independently allowing the end user to work the
lock with one hand while holding the ladder with
the other.
To adjust the height of the ladder:
1) Unlock the 4 “J” locks by pulling out and
rotating the “J” lock away from the rung
hole (See Figure 3).
2) Raise the inner section to the desire height.
3) While holding the inner ladder section with
one hand, lock the 4 “J” locks by rotating
them into the locked position
(See Figure 4).

•
Ensure all 4 “J” locks are secure in a rung hole before climbing.
•
Maintain control of the inner section while raising or lowering,
failure to do so could result in injury.
