H. Final Precautions
1. Keep clothing and body parts away from the hinges and lock assemblies while in the process of
adjusting the ladder. These heavy duty mechanisms will pinch if carelessly adjusted.
2. Whilst extending the inner ladder within the outer ladder railings, never let clothing or body parts
be placed between the moving rungs. Whilst extending the ladder up or down
always
hold the
ladder with both hands on the vertical upper rails or hinges of the ladder.
3. When working around electricity or when electricity is involved, be very careful and take all
precautions to prevent the ladder from making contact with any electrical circuits.
4. When using ladders be sure to:
a. Set all four feet on a firm level surface
b. Keep steps dry and clean
c. Wear slip-resistant shoes
d. Keep body centred between both side rails
e. Read additional instructions on ladder
5. When using the ladder in the extension position, use the proper working angle which requires that
the distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the support wall must be 1/4 the height of the
ladder, ie: 1 foot out from the wall for every four foot in height, or approximately at a 75
o
angle.
6. Dependent on the model ladder you have purchased they are rated to the following load bearing
capacity and
AS/NZS 1892.1:1996
standard:
- 180kg load bearing capacity.
- 120kg load bearing capacity.
Do not exceed safe working limits.
7. The Transforma Ladder System has been designed so that the surface of the rungs are parallel to
the surface upon which the ladder stands.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
NEVER CLIMB FROM THE BACK OF THE LADDER IN THE EXTENSION POSITION.
As indicated on the warning label placed on the inside of the inner ladder assembly.
