The Skymaster Ladder is a 3 section combination ladder.
It can be used in the following configurations:
A three section extension leaning ladder
A two section extension leaning ladder
A single piece leaning ladder
A standing ladder (trestle step ladder)
A two section standing ladder (free-standing extension ladder)
A stairway ladder
A work platform when used with the optional model 42300 platform and 40250 stabiliser/stand-off.
1) Preparing your ladder for use.
Lay the ladder flat with the base (widest) section on the ground.
Unpack your ladder and dispose of the wrapping carefully. The wrapping is Low Density Polyethylene
Film (LDPE) and is fully recyclable.
The base stabiliser bar is captured between the top and middle sections for transport.
Detach the top section of the ladder by first unlocking the rung hook safety catch. Remove the
stabiliser bar.
Turn the ladder over so that the base section is uppermost.
The stabiliser bar locates into the slots, which are cut into the foot of the base section.
THE LADDER
CANNOT BE USED WITHOUT THE BASE STABILISER BAR.
• Release both rung locks.
• Extend the top and middle sections of the ladder by one
rung.
• Insert the spacer tubes into the holes in the stabiliser bar.
• Fit the stabiliser bar into the slots in the stile of the base
section ensuring the spacers line up with the holes. (Fig. 1)
• Insert the bolts.
• Fit and tighten the nyloc nuts.
• Tighten the nut and bolt with two 13mm spanners.
