3. Telescoopladders
All locking mechanisms for the
extended rungs must be chec-
ked and locked before using the
ladder.
Do not stick your hands / fin-
gers between the rungs while
retracting the ladder.
Do not stand on the last metre
of the telescopic ladder.
User instructions for telescopic ladders
Before use
- Never use the ladder without a stabilizer beam, if it is extended for more than 3
metres.
- Before using the ladder, mount the stabilizer beam (included in the delivery) accor
ding to the mounting instructions on the stabilizer beam.
Extending a telescopic ladder up to maximum height
- Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and sturdy surface.
- Put a foot on the bottom rung to keep the ladder in position while extending it.
(Figure 1).
- When extending a telescopic ladder, start with the upper most rung and extend it
until the rung is locked. This only happens when the underlying rung is also pulled
upwards while extending the ladder, otherwise the first rung will not lock. This rung
is locked when the locking knobs (under the left and right side of the rung) have
protruded completely outwards (Figure 2). For additional safety, the ladder is con
structed in such a way that it retracts and extends slowly. Extending the ladder
might therefore demand extra power. Repeat this with the next rungs, until the
telescopic ladder is completely extended.
- Check again the position of all the locking knobs under the rungs and all slides on
the ladder (Figure 2).
- Check whether all distances between the rungs are equal (Figure 5).
Extending a telescopic ladder up to an intermediate height
- Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and sturdy surface.
- Put a foot on the bottom rung to keep the ladder in position while extending it.
- When extending a telescopic ladder, start with the one to last bottom rung and
extend it until this rung is locked. For this purpose, check the position of the locking
knobs at the left-hand and right-hand sides under the rung (Figure 2). Repeat this
until you have achieved the working height. For additional safety, the ladder is
constructed in such a way that it retracts and extends slowly. Extending the ladder
might therefore demand extra power.
- Check again the position of all the locking knobs under the rungs and all slides on
the ladder (Figure 2).
- Check whether all distances between the rungs are equal (Figure 5).
- In case of a partially extended ladder, the remaining rungs at the top side should
always be stacked (Figure 1).
