BEFORE USE
• Inspect the ladder after delivery and before use to confirm condition and operation of all parts.
• Do not use a damaged ladder.
• Ensure that you are fit enough to use a ladder. Certain medical conditions or medication, alcohol or
drug abuse could make ladder use unsafe.
• Ensure the ladder is suitable for the task.
• Remove any contamination from the ladder such as wet paint, mud, oil or snow.
• For professional use a risk assessment should be carried out respecting the legislation in the country
of use.
• Identify any electrical risks in the work area, such as overhead lines or other exposed
electrical equipment and do not use the ladder where electrical risks occur.
• Make sure all locking mechanisms for all extended rungs/steps are checked and locked before use.
• The ladder shall be used/stored in temperatures between -20 - +60 degrees °C.
BEFORE USE, ALWAYS CHECK;
• The stiles (uprights) are not bent, bowed, twisted, dented, cracked or corroded
• The telescopic tubes around the fixing points for other components are in good condition
• Fixings (usually rivets, screws or bolts) are not missing, loose or corroded
• Rungs are not missing, loose, excessively worn, corroded or damaged
• Hinges between front and rear sections are not damaged, loose or corroded
• Guide brackets are not missing, damaged, loose or corroded and engage properly on the mating stile
• Rubber feet and end caps are not missing, loose, excessively worn, corroded or damaged
• The entire ladder is free from contaminants (e.g. dirt, mud, paint, oil or grease)
• Locking catches are not damaged or corroded and function correctly
If any of the above checks cannot be fully satisfied, you should NOT use the ladder.
CLEANING
For reasons of safety and functionality, the telescopic product must always be kept clean, particularly
the telescopic tubes and rungs. Dirt, filings, paint spots, glue etc. must be cleaned after each use, and
before the ladder is closed. If your ladder is soaking wet, fully extend the ladder, wipe off and keep
it extended until the ladder is completely dry. Our Maintenance Kit includes both a unique melamine
cleaning sponge and a microfiber towel to solve these tasks easily.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Any service or repair work must always be carried out by an authorized service workshop, which deter-
mines suitable action in each individual case. Please contact the producer or distributor for service &
maintenance.
If rubber feet or end-caps are getting worn, replace these for optimal safety. Never use the ladder
without rubber feet (slip protection) and end-caps to prevent dust, metal chips or similar from getting
into the tubes. New feet/end caps can be obtained from retailers. Only original spare parts may be used
for safety reasons.
In case of service or repair contact your retailer to find the location of your nearest authorized service
partner.
