Relax. It’s an Altrex.

- Check both locks (figure 1 B)
- A weight of no more than 2.5 kg can be carried in the Toolbag of the wall support (figure 1 A).
- Do not place objects in the Toolbag that may damage the Toolbag (i.e. sharp or hot objects).
- Only place small objects in the Toolbag and no objects that protrude out of the Toolbag.
Extending a telescopic ladder to maximum height
- Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and stable surface.
- Place a foot on the lowest rung to keep the ladder in the correct position when extending
this.
- When extending a telescopic ladder, start with the uppermost rung and extend this
until the rung locks into place. This will not lock until the rung that is underneath is also
pulled upwards when extending the ladder. The rung will not lock into place until this has
happened. The rung has locked when the locking buttons (to the left and right underneath
the rung) are fully protruding (figure 2 C). For additional safety, the ladder has been fully
dampened preventing rapid closure when the ladder is collapsed or extended. Additional
physical strength may therefore be required to extend the ladder.
- Repeat this with the subsequent rungs until you have extended the telescopic ladder to its
maximum height.
- Again check the position of all locking buttons underneath the rungs (figure 2 C) and the
catches at the bottom of the ladder (figure 2 D).
- Also ensure that all of the spaces between the rungs are equal (figure 2 B).
Extending a telescopic ladder to an intermediate length
- Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and stable surface.
- Place a foot on the lowest rung to keep the ladder in the correct position when extending
this.
- When extending a telescopic ladder, start with one rung after the lowest rung and extend
until the rung locks into place. Check this has locked by checking the position of the lock-
ing buttons (to the left and right) underneath the rung (figure 2 C). For additional safety, the
ladder has been fully dampened preventing rapid closure when the ladder is collapsed or
extended. Additional physical strength may therefore be required to extend the ladder.
- Repeat this with the subsequent rungs until you have reached the required height. Again
check the position of all locking buttons underneath the rungs (figure 2 C) and the catches at
the bottom of the ladder (figure 2 D).
- Ensure that all of the spaces between the rungs are equal (figure 2 B).
- The remaining rungs on a partially extended ladder will have stacked on top of one another
at the top of the ladder (figure 2 A).
Collapsing a telescopic ladder
- Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and stable surface.
- When collapsing a telescopic ladder start with one rung after the lowest rung.
- Keep the ladder in a steady upright position with one hand on the ladder boom, preferably 2
rungs higher (figure 2 E and figure 2 G).
- With the other hand, slide the two catches towards one another, using the thumb and first
finger, and guide the ladder parts that are above down gently using the other hand (figure 2
E). Please note: all subsequent rungs will automatically slide in! Make sure that your fingers do
not become trapped between the sliding parts or the rungs (figures 2 F, 2 G).
