Repair Care and maintenance
The telescopic ladder is a precision-made work tool. It should be cared for and maintained in accordance with
the following instructions:
• The collapsible tubes must be kept clean. Dirt, filings, paint spots, glue etc. must be wiped away after use,
and before the ladder is closed. Also wipe the steps of the ladder.
• For liquid cleaners use a small quantity on a piece of soft tissue or cloth. After cleaning the collapsible
tubes, open all the sections, wipe every tube dry with paper or cloth. The ladder always must be dry.
• The plastic end caps should always be in place to prevent dirt, filings etc. from getting into the collapsible
tubes and causing damage.
• Always transport the ladder in the folded position, so that the collapsible tubes are protected inside each
other and cannot be damaged.
• Avoid subjecting the ladder to knocks or rough treatment, as damage to the tubes directly affects the
collapsible function.
• Always store the ladder closed and locked, in as straight a position as possible e.g. hung up by the bars in a
suspension system or placed on a flat, clean surface.
• Ladders should be stored out of direct sunlight.
