Relax. It’s an Altrex.
EN
- Do not stand on a telescopic ladder for long periods without taking regular breaks.
- Tiredness is a risk!
- The telescopic ladder in ladder position should protrude by at least one metre above the
required standing or step-over height.
- Any tools that are used while standing on a telescopic ladder have to be light and easy to
use.
- Avoid any work that could cause sideways pressure on the telescopic ladder, such as
drilling into hard stone. This can cause the telescopic ladder to tip over. While working, hold
onto the telescopic ladder with at least one hand, or take precautions if it is not possible to
hold on.
- No more than one person should stand on a telescopic ladder at the same time.
- Never reposition the telescopic ladder/folding ladder while somebody is standing on it.
Additional safety tips when using telescopic ladders
- The fact that telescopic ladders are equipped with locking and sliding parts means that
it is important to keep these components clean in order for the equipment to function
properly. For the telescopic action, it is also important that dirt does not build up between
the sliding parts. It is, therefore, important to keep these ladders clean and dry and free
from dirt.
- Never wear baggy clothing or jewellery. These could become caught when ascending or
descending the telescopic ladder which could lead to a fall.
- Frequently check that the feet are not worn. Worn feet may damage the support surface, or
can result in the telescopic ladder slipping.
- In the interest of personal safety, only use accessories or aids that have been recommended
by Altrex.
- Do not leave any tools or other equipment at the bottom of the telescopic ladder which
you might trip over.
Maintenance
Maintain your telescopic ladder properly by keeping it free from contamination by
substances such as paint, mud, sand, dirt, snow and oil. Clean the sliding parts frequently to
ensure that these work properly.
