⚠️ Safety instructions

● General safety instructions

Important! Read the entire instruction manual before using the product.

Inspect the ladder after delivery and before first use to confirm condition and operation of all parts;

Maximum total load 150 kg.

The weight of the user plus tools and other materials must not exceed 150 kg.

- Keep the ladder clean and remove any dirt. Keep the ladder dry to avoid any slippage or toppling over.

■ Before using a ladder at work a risk assessment should be carried out respecting the legislation in the country of use.

● Safety instructions with regard to setting up the ladder

- Inspect all parts prior to each use. Discontinue use if any parts of the ladder are missing, damaged or worn in any way.

• Do not use any other attachments, components or accessories manufactured by other supplier.
  ■ Never attempt to fix a damaged ladder. Always have a qualified repair person fix the damaged ladder.
  ■ Use extreme caution when used in windy, rainy or icy conditions.
  ■ Always place ladder on even, firm surfaces for stability. Never try to increase the height of the ladder in any position by placing anything under the stabilizer bars.
  ■ Always make sure all four rubber feet of the stabilizer bars are firmly supported.
  ■ Always use caution when getting on or off ladder.
  ■ Never set up the ladder in front of doors that are not locked.

■ Always use extreme caution when using ladder on a drop cloth, carpet or other protective surface. This will prevent the rubber feet from gripping the surface properly.
- Do not use ladder jacks with this ladder.
■ Pushing or pulling anything while on the ladder or scaffold may cause the ladder to tip and you to fall. Use extreme caution if you must push or pull from the ladder.
■ Never attempt to jump, walk or move ladder while on it. If you need to move the ladder get off it first. Move it, then reposition yourself.
■ To avoid losing balance and/or tipping ladder or scaffold, never overreach. Always stay balanced while on ladder. Keep your body centered between side rails.

■ Never use ladder as a brace in any way.
■ Never place yourself or allow anyone to stand or work under scaffolding or ladder while in use.
■ Do not stand on ladder while releasing the locking mechanism.
■ Never use on stairs if they are not level. This could cause the ladder to tip or cause you to lose your balance.
■ Always wear skid resistant shoes while using this ladder or scaffold.
■ Before using it, check all parts of the ladder. Do not use the ladder if any parts are missing, damaged or worn.
- Check all locking devices. Before using the ladder, make sure that all locking devices are locked in place.
■ Place the ladder only on a horizontal, dry, immovable firm surface.

■ Ladders shall not be positioned on slippery surfaces (such as ice, shiny surfaces or significantly contaminated solid surfaces) unless additional effective measures are taken to prevent the ladder slipping or ensuring contaminated surfaces are sufficiently clean.

• Do not use the ladder as a bridging structure.
  ■ Leaning ladder should lean against a flat non-fragile surface and should be secured before use, e.g. tied or use of a suitable stability device.
  ■ Attention! Metal is an electrical conductor! Make sure that no part of the ladder is touching a live cable.
  ■ When positioning the ladder take into account risk of collision with the ladder e.g. from pedestrians, vehicles or doors.
  ■ Ladder shall be stood on its feet, not the rungs or steps.

● Safety instructions for using the ladder

- Do not use the ladder if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or strong medication. Do not use the ladder if you are ill or do not feel well.

- Do not use the ladder if it is wet, damaged or if it has become slippery because of water, ice or snow.

■ Always hold on tightly to the ladder and always face the ladder when getting on and off the ladder.

- Do not carry bulky or heavy objects when climbing up the ladder.

- Do not try to change the location of the ladder when you are standing on it or from above. Get off the ladder first and then change the position of the ladder. Then get onto the ladder again.

- Do not use the ladder outside in adverse weather conditions, such as strong wind.

■ Maintain a handhold whilst working from a ladder or take additional safety precautions if you cannot.

- Avoid any tasks in which a lateral load is exerted on the standing ladder, e.g. drilling sideways into solid material (e.g. masonry or concrete).

- Do not use the top three rungs of the ladder as a platform if you are using the ladder as a lean-to ladder (see Figure B).

- Do not use the top two rungs of the ladder as a platform if you are using the ladder as a stepladder (see Figure B).

- Do not stand on the top four steps / rungs of a standing ladder with an extending ladder at the top (see Figure B).

- Do not stand on the top two steps / rungs of a standing ladder without a platform and hand / knee rail.
