correct leaning angle of 75° (inclination angle 1 : 4).

 CAUTION!

Crushing hazard!

When extending or retracting the ladder, you can crush or pinch 

your fingers if you proceed without caution.

− When retracting the ladder ensure that your fingers, hands 

and arms are at the height of the actuated unlock keys.

Locking device

With the aid of the locking devices on the rungs

, the individual ladder sections are 

locked when you extend the ladder.

locked if the red section next to both unlock 

keys

 of a rung is 

not visible (see Fig. B).  

If you apply pressure to the corresponding rung, it cannot be pushed down.

not locked if the red section next to one  

or both unlock keys

of a rung is 

visible (see Fig. C).

− Keep in mind that when you extend the ladder from the top down, the individual 

sections will only lock when you have extended the ladder to its full length.
