Before Use
WARNING! When the combi ladder
is used as a leaning ladder, the front
ladder side that you climb up must
always be properly locked. Always
check that all the front rung sections
are locked before climbing the lad-
der. Don’t forget to check the locking
clamps at the bottom, which are not
visible from above.
The combi ladder is unlocked using the four lo-
cking clamps at the bottom, below the next to
last rungs on each side of the ladder. Close the
combi ladder as follows:
12 Clean the combi ladder if required (see
below).
13 Fold both sides of the combi ladder to-
gether. If the combi ladder has been used
as a leaning ladder, you must first loosen
the belt between the two joined back rungs.
14 Hold the combi ladder upright and lean it
slightly away from you. Hold the telescopic
tube, not the rungs, so that you don’t trap
your fingers when the ladder unlocks and
closes.
15 First unlock the rung sections furthest from
you by pressing in the two bottom locking
clamps, one at a time. The rung sections un-
lock automatically. You will feel the locking
mechanism loosening slightly as the ladder
folds up. Push in both of the lower locking
clamps on the side of the combi ladder that
is closest to you, in the same way, to unlock
the remainder of the rung sections. The com-
bi ladder is now unlocked.
16 Carefully slide the rung sections down to-
gether.
17 Refit the carry handle.
WARNING! Do not put your hands on
or between the rung sections when
unlocking and closing the ladder.
For reasons of safety and functionality, the com-
bi ladder must always be kept clean, particular-
ly the telescopic tubes and rungs. Dirt, filings,
paint spots, glue etc. must be wiped away af-
ter each use, and before the ladder is closed.
Clean the ladder using a rag and a small
amount of solvent. Once clean, the telescopic
tubes can be treated with silicon spray. Spray
in the tube and wipe dry with paper or a cloth.
The ladder must always be kept dry so that dust
does not cling to it.
Carry the combi ladder in its compact format,
using the detachable carry handle that is sup-
plied with the ladder. Hook on the carry handle
and pull it up as far as the rungs to ensure good
balance when carrying the ladder.
Always transport the combi ladder completely
closed in its compact format. This protects the
telescopic tubes against impact and damage
that could impair the functionality of the combi
ladder. When transporting the ladder on roof
bars or in a truck, ensure it is suitably placed to
prevent damage.
A carry case for the combi ladder is available
as an accessory.
The combi ladder shall be stored
• completely closed in compact format
• away from areas where its condition could
deteriorate more rapidly (e.g. dampness, ex-
cessive heat, exposed to the elements)
• where it cannot be damaged by vehicles,
heavy objects, or contaminants
• where it cannot cause a trip hazard or an ob-
struction
• where it cannot be easily used for criminal
purposes, preferably padlocked
• secured against unauthorised climbing (e.g.
by children) if it is permanently positioned
(e.g. on scaffolding).
• The owner of the ladder shall provide the user
with the user manual.
• Inspect the ladder after delivery and before first
use to confirm condition and operation of all parts.
• Ensure that you are fit enough to use a ladder.
Certain medical conditions or medication, al-
cohol or drug abuse could make ladder use
unsafe.
• Visually check the ladder is not damaged
and is safe to use at the start of each working
day when the ladder is to be used, see “Care
and maintenance” below.
