I. Description - SkyScraper Telescoping A-Frame Ladder
A.
The ladder is a telescoping A-Frame unit comprised of three basic components:
an inner ladder unit, and two telescoping outer units.

opened in the A-Frame or staircase position, as shown in picture A-1 and A-2 or
closed in the storage position.

fit in any rung of the inner ladder, allowing foot by foot adjustment on either
side of the ladder.

SkyScraper Telescoping A-Frame Ladder has two
mechanical component parts:
A.
HINGE LOCKS: The hinge locks are located at the top of the ladder.
1.
Unlock
the hinge by pushing straight in on the palm button until it stays in the
open position on both hinges (See figures A-3, A-4, and A-5).
a.
NOTE
: If there is pressure on the hinge lock pins it will make it difficult
to unlock the hinge. To relieve pressure simply jiggle one half of the ladder
back and forth until hinge lock pins move without force.
b.
NOTE
: DO NOT FORCE HINGE LOCK with the use of any tools as it will
cause permanent damage to the hinge mechanism. It should never require
more than light pressure to unlock the hinge if the holes are properly
aligned.
2. You may now open the ladder to the A-Frame position by pulling the two ladder
-
halves apart until both hinge lock pins snap into the A-Frame locked position.
(See figure A-1)
3. To restore the ladder to the storage position,
disengage the hinge locks in the A-Frame position
and return the ladder to its storage position.
B.
LOCK TABS: There are four Lock Tabs on the ladder.
These permit you to change the height of the ladder
(See figure B-1).
