Cleaning
The ladder should be cleaned immediately after use if it is
visibly soiled. This applies especially to all its moving parts.
The product can be cleaned using water and a little
conventional cleaning agent.
Cleaning agents must not be allowed to seep into the soil.
• Dispose of used cleaning solutions in accordance with the
relevant environmental regulations.
Lubricating moving parts
• Lubricate all moving parts with conventional lubricating oil.
Select a thin-bodied oil when using the product in winter.
• Dispose of oil-soaked cleaning rags according to the
relevant environmental regulations.
WARNING
Slippery surfaces are a source of fall hazard!
Lubricating oil and liquids on standing surfaces can cause
personnel to fall and injure themselves.
• Wipe off excess oil.
• Clean off any soiling (e.g. wet paint, snow).
1.1 Commercial use
In commercial use, it is necessary to have the ladder
periodically inspected by a competent person to ensure it is in
good working order (visual inspection and functional check).
It is crucial to define the type, scope and schedule of the
necessary inspections. The intervals between inspections
depend on the operating conditions, especially the frequency
of use, the stress the product is subject to during use, and the
frequency and severity of previously found defects.
The user must ensure that defective ladders are removed from
use and stored in such a way that makes it impossible for
them to be used until they are properly repaired or disposed of.
The complete inspection sheet can be downloaded from the
manufacturer's website.
1.2 Periodic inspections
The ladder must be regularly inspected for operational
safety by a competent person. The competent person is to
be authorised by the user to perform the required inspection
and shall take part in seminars required by law of the country
in question.
• The inspection intervals must be appropriate for the specific
operating conditions.
• Inspection must be carried out at least once a year.
• The inspection must be documented. Check sheets
for inspection of the ladder are available on the
ZARGES homepage.
• After the product has passed the inspection, attach the
ZARGES inspection plate (order no. 828384 or 828385) to it.
The month and year in which the next inspection is due must
be clearly visible.
Defective or incomplete ladders and parts may no longer
be used.
Stiles/legs

• Check for dents, damage, sharp edges, corrosion, chipping,
burrs and signs of wear.
• Check the condition of the attachment points for other parts.
• Check for completeness and secure attachment.
Anti-splay mechanism

8 Transportation and storage
• Store ladders in such a way that they cannot be damaged
(e.g. bent or twisted).
• Protect ladders from the influence of weather and keep
them from unauthorised use (e.g. by children) while they
are in storage.
• While transporting ladders to or from the place of storage,
they should be properly secured to keep them from sliding
and prevent impact and accidents.
• Do not throw the ladders during loading and unloading.
• When transporting ladders, properly secure them on a
vehicle's roof racks or in its interior.
9 Packaging and disposal
• The packaging presents a risk of suffocation. Dispose of the
packaging material properly.
