Repair and maintenance
Depending on usage frequency and environmental influences, ladders must
be serviced regularly. This involves cleaning, function checks of moving
parts and, if necessary, lubricate.
Cleaning
• If visibly dirty, clean the ladders, especially all moving parts, as soon as
possible after use.
• Treat heavy soiling with warm water and commercially available cleaning
agents, and dry down thw ladders with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Do not use cleansers containing solvents. Dispose of used cleaning
agents in accordance with the applicable environmental protection
regulations.
Maintenance
Maintenance measures may only be carried out by skilled, commissioned
and instructed employees or by other contractors with comparable qualifica-
tions who are suitable for carrying out the maintenance work.
• Make sure that rungs, steps, step pads or platforms are not covered in
grease or oil, or become so. If this does occur, clean the affected areas
immediately; e.g. with some spirit.
• Moving parts- such as hinges, lift locks, spring bolts, etc. - are to be
treated with commercially available spray grease (e.g. HHS 2000) if
required.
• Oil must not be used for lubrication.
Repair
Carry out any repairs or replacements of parts in accordance with the manu-
facturer‘s specifications.
In the case of ladders used for professional purposes, maintenance and
repair work must be inspected by a person qualified to carry out the inspec-
tion. This person must have acquired knowledge to carry out this work, e.g.
by attending a training course provided by the manufacturer.
Only original parts from the manufacturer may be used as accessories and
spare parts.
