When the ladder is fully folded, always carry the ladder by lifting from the bottom

WARNING
The ladder must not be used with the
stabilising bar removed (Fig. 4).
NOTE: stabiliser bars can be removed for transport and storage purposes only. This is done
by removing four securing nuts bolts and washers, if removed often, consideration must be
given to replacing the nuts as these are nyloc and will lose their locking ability.
