Assembly and usage instructions
ENG
for a telescopic ladder
Introduction
General information
These assembly and usage instructions govern and describe the assembly and
proper use of the ladders. For safety reasons, please read these instructions care-
fully before use and save them for future reference. If the ladder is passed to a new
owner, the instructions must be passed on with it. Not all possible applications can
be addressed in this document. If you have any questions about specific applications,
please contact your FÖRCH representative. Ladders can be used to perform a
narrow scope of work at a height, during which the use of other equipment is not
proportionate (cf. German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV)).
Only original FÖRCH parts may be used during assembly. These must be visually
checked for fault-free condition before assembly. Do not use damaged components.
When climbing on and off the ladder and during its general use, there is a risk of
falling off. All work with and on the ladder must be performed so that the risk of
falling off is as low as possible. Modifications to the ladder that are not authorised
by the manufacturer will invalidate the warranty. The products or variants described
in this document may be subject to country-specific regulations.
The user of the products is responsible for observing these regulations.
