Inspection
Take care of your Microlite. The Microlite is designed for trade and industrial
use but is not indestructible.
Clean the Microlite. Remove all debris particularly corrosive materials such as
cements and plaster.
Check
1) There is no damage such as dents, splits, holes, excessive wear or gross
distortion. Very minor distortion is acceptable as long as the Microlite sits
evenly and has not been re-bent after damage.
See dimensions on page 2.
2) Both wheels are secure and undamaged and the tyres are clean and not
loose, swollen or excessively worn.
3) Both spring clip assemblies are secure and springs are not stretched.
4) No repairs of any sort have been made.
5) Both hooks are in line
see below.
The bottom hook is especially
susceptible to damage if the ladder is dropped/bombed with the Microlite in
place.
Inspect hooks
Place a straight edge (ruler or other)
against hook ends. Ensure that bottom
and top hooks run in line along the
straight edge.
Inspect hooks
Push both hooks against the
ladder rungs. The hooks should
run parallel with the ladder stile.
