Also read and follow the full instructions supplied with the ladder and the safety labels
affixed to the ladder.
Always extend the ladder from the bottom. Start to
extend the ladder by pulling upward the two blue
support rings of the third rung from the bottom
until the section locks. Repeat this procedure for
OPEN
each next section until the desired ladder length is
reached.
Check and ensure that all extended sections are
fully locked and that the lock indicators are showing
full green. Never attempt to use or climb the ladder
if any of the lock indicators below each extended
section are showing full red or half red / half green.
Note the sloped shape of the stabiliser feet and
place the extended ladder the correct way round
(forwards) at an angle of 75 degrees to the ground
and supported at the top. Never climb the rear of
the ladder and never climb the ladder when placed
upside down.
Place the square pads of the safety grip wall
bumpers at the top of the ladder against a suitable
support (e.g. a wall). The wall bumpers provide
grip to give stability. Never support the ladder by
the rungs or stile tubes. Never climb the rear of
the ladder and never climb the ladder when placed
upside down.
Never attempt to climb the ladder if the sections
are in the wrong position and the distance between
all rungs of the extended ladder are not the same.
Ensure that all sections are opened in sequence
and are fully extended and locked.
To close the ladder support the ladder in an upright
position with one hand and depress and then
release both ladder lock release buttons with your
CLOSE
other hand. Using both hands pull the sections
downward. The lowest extended section will close
which will automatically unlock the next extended
section. Continue to pull down the sections until the
ladder is fully closed.
