Using the Ladder

For safety reasons ladders in general shall be
used with care and common sense.
With regard to the Telesteps telescopic
ladder, we also want to point out the
following:
◆ The ladder is used at an angle of 75
degrees, in relation to the ground
(Illustration ).
13
◆ The ladder is built for maximum load of
150 kg (Illustration
◆ The ladder must be used on a flat firm
level surface.
◆ The upper rung must not be used as a
foot step.
◆ The ladder must not be used with an
irregularly distance between the steps
(Illustration ).
15
◆ Avoid using the ladder in locations such
as water-filled wells, as this may result in a
malfunction due to dirt and water getting
into the tubes.
◆ Avoid subjecting the ladder to knocks or
rough treatment, as damage to the tubes
directly affects the telescopic function.
◆ Always transport Telesteps in the folded
position, so that the telescopic tubes are
protected inside each other and cannot
be damaged.
◆ The ladder must not be used hanging
from the top rung.
◆ Do not open, close or use the ladder
upside down.
◆ The ladder must not be used in a
horizontal position, such as resting on a
step or saw horse. In an emergency
situation, the ladder can be used as a
stretcher if extended to a maximum
length of approx. 2 m.
