Attach the suction cup to the glass surface of the
nearest window pain.
Offer the cup to the glass then
close the lever to securely attach.
Note that the suction cup must ONLY be attached to
toughened glass which is known to be secure in its
frame. If unsure, consult the conservatory supplier
before attachment.
If the suction cup cannot be used then the base of
the main ladder must be tied in or suitably secured.
Once attached,
adjust the link strap to remove any
slack.
Next, climb the ladder and
place the roof section on the
roof ensuring its crossbar is positioned on to the
rafters. Position the roof section so that its captive
pins line up with the adjustable supports and can be
inserted into its slots.
Once inserted,
move the roof section back
towards the
ladder
to bring the pins fully into the slot,
then
lock
the adjustable supports
by turning the thumbscrews
clockwise.
All that remains is to
double check that everything is
correctly aligned and correctly secured.
Always climb the ladder’s outer face
– never the
underside.
While climbing,
keep your feet in the middle of the
rungs and grip the rungs, NOT the stiles, firmly with
both hands.
Never carry anything while climbing
unless you can
do so leaving your hands free. If necessary, climb first then
haul up whatever you need after you on a rope.
When working,
never overstretch or lean too far to
one side.
If you cannot reach, move the access system.
Never use the ladder as a work platform for jobs
requiring a lot of force. It could topple over.
DO NOT stand on the roof sections rungs,
only kneel
or sit on the purpose made insert tray.
Never push the equipment beyond its design limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable ease and
speed, assume you have the wrong tool for the job.
Contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Keep the equipment clean,
you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
When not in use
, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves.
Dismantle the access system by reversing the
instruction in ‘GETTING STARTED’
Give the unit a final clean, ready for return
to your
local HSS Hire Shop.
