USER MANUAL BTTL002 Batavia

Safety Precautions Read and understand the user manual before using the telescopic ladder. Keep this manual in a safe place and pass it on if you pass on the telescopic ladder. Do not use the telescopic ladder under the inuence of pharmaceuticals, drugs, alcohol, etc. or if you feel unwell. Only use the telescopic ladder for easy jobs and for a short period of time. Do not spend long periods without regular breaks on the telescopic ladder. Fatigue and loss of balance are accident hazards. Check before and after every use the proper functioning and state of all components of the telescopic ladder. Never use the telescopic ladder if it is damaged. Ensure safe use. Ensure that children cannot play on the telescopic ladder. Keep the telescopic ladder away from children and supervised persons. Remove dirt on the telescopic ladder, such as wet paint, oil or snow before use. Do not use the telescopic ladder on slippery ground, such as ice, wet oor, shiny or dirty surfaces, soft or sloping ground, etc. Always take additional safety measures to prevent slipping and to ensure stability. Avoid using the telescopic ladder in the rain, because dirt and water in the tubing of the ladder stringers can lead to malfunctions. Do not use the telescopic ladder in bad weather, e.g. strong wind. Place the telescopic ladder on a stable, level and immovable surface. Do not lean the telescopic ladder against an unstable surface. Always lean the telescopic ladder against a level and solid surface to ensure the stability of the telescopic ladder. Take additional safety measures, if necessary.

Always hold tight and ensure safe footing when climbing up or down the telescopic ladder. Watch the telescopic ladder when climbing up or down. Never climb up or down with the back against the telescopic ladder, always face the ladder. The telescopic ladder is only to be used by one person at a time. When working on the telescopic ladder, hold on to it with one hand or lean against it, if possible. Take additional safety measures if this is not possible. Place the telescopic ladder only on its feet and not on the rungs. Do not use the telescopic ladder upside down. When putting up the telescopic ladder ensure that pedestrians, vehicles, etc. cannot collide with the telescopic ladder. Ensue that no doors or windows are in the working area, which can unexpectedly be opened. Close all doors and windows within the working area, except the emergency exits, if possible. Never exceed the permissible load capacity of the telescopic ladder. The telescopic ladder has a permissible load capacity of max. 150 kg. Always stand with both feet on one rung. Put up the telescopic ladder in an inclination angle of 1:4, which corresponds to a support angle on the ground of approx. 75 degrees. Wear sturdy shoes to prevent slipping, stumbling, etc. Do not change the position of the telescopic ladder while you are standing on it. Do not use the telescopic ladder carelessly (e.g. climbing two rungs at a time, sliding down the ladder stringers, jumping off the ladder, etc.) Ensure that the plastic end caps are always attached to the telescopic ladder. Do not use the ladder without plastic end caps. They prevent dirt, dust, etc. from entering the telescopic tubing and causing damages. Do not use the top three rungs to climb or to stand on. Avoid impacts, since damages can affect the sliding mechanism. Do not use the telescopic ladder horizontally, for instance to bridge precipices or as a storage shelf, saw horse, etc. Ensure that the telescopic ladder is suitable for the respective job. Ensure, when using the telescopic ladder to climb on roofs, that the top rung protrudes at least 1m above working height. Avoid leaving an unsecured ladder at the top. Wrong ladder selection (e.g. too short telescopic ladder, unsuitable use, etc.) can cause accidents. Objects, work equipment, etc., which must be transported while climbing up the telescopic ladder, should not be heavy and easy to handle. Avoid excessive lateral loads, such as carrying up heavy loads or drilling sideways in solid materials. Determine all hazards from electric equipment in the proximity of the work area, e.g. cables or other accessible electric equipment. Do not use conducting telescopic ladders for unavoidable electric jobs. Do not put up the telescopic ladder in the immediate vicinity of live electric equipment (e.g. high-voltage overhead power lines). Transport the telescopic ladder always in its retracted position. Ensure that the telescopic ladder is properly positioned and xed on the roof or truck to avoid transport damage.9

Fix the rungs with the webbing when storing the telescopic ladder to secure against accidental opening. Do not use the top rung when hanging the telescopic ladder up for storage. Always store the telescopic ladder in a dry and clean place. Before using the ladder

• Check the ladder visually for damages and safe use at the start of each working day, when the ladder is used;

• Commercial users are to check the ladder regularly;

• Ensure that the ladder is suitable for the respective job;

• Carry out a risk assessment considering the legal requirements in the country of use before using a ladder for work. Bringing the ladder in position and putting up the ladder

• Secure all locking mechanisms before use, if installed. Use Instructions Never use a damaged telescopic ladder. Extending the telescopic ladder – extending only some rungs –

1. Place the telescopic ladder on solid and level

2. Stabilize the telescopic ladder with one foot on

the lowest rung and extend the telescopic ladder bottom-up to the desired length if only some rungs are needed and the ladder is not extended to its full length. The block is always at the top if the telescopic ladder is not extended to its full length. The block is always at the top if the telescopic ladder is not extended to its full length. Extending the telescopic ladder – extend to its full length –

1. Place the telescopic ladder on solid and level

2. Stabilize the telescopic ladder with one foot on

the lowest rung and start extending the telescopic ladder at the top rung to fully extend it. Extend one rung at a time until all rungs are extended and the total length is obtained. Block10

Please note that, while extending the telescopic ladder beginning with the top rung, the ladder is not locked and retracts if not all rungs are extended. Retract telescopic ladder Always take great care when retracting the telescopic ladder.

1. Place the telescopic ladder on solid and level

2. Press the unlocking buttons towards the

centre to retract the telescopic ladder, as shown in the illustration. Start retracting the telescopic ladder at the highest rung you can reach, if the telescopic ladder was extended to its full length. You can retract the remaining telescopic ladder either a rung at a time or press the next to last unlocking buttons (on the second rung from the bottom). This retracts all remaining rungs. With the 2.5cm safety distance between rungs pinching your ngers is virtually impossible. However, ensure that your Arms and ngers are in line with the unlocking buttons (dotted line), when retracting the ladder. Maintenance and care

• Always keep the telescopic ladder clean. Remove dirt, abrasive dust, paint, glue, etc. after every use, before retracting the telescopic ladder. Dirt can affect the proper functioning. Always wipe the rungs clean.

• Clean the telescopic ladder with a broom or a cloth. Thoroughly dry the rungs if the telescopic ladder gets wet.

• To prevent surface damage always protect the plastic end caps from dirt and abrasive dust, etc.

• Leave repair and maintenance work to competent staff. Causes of accidents The following list of hazards shows common risks when working with ladders and does not claim to be complete. Observe the following instructions as a foundation for safe work. a) Loss of stability:

1) Improper ladder placement (wrong angle for

extension ladders or not complete opening of stepladders).
