Ensure that the telescopic ladder is
suitable for the respective job. Ensure,
when using the telescopic ladder to
climb on roofs, that the top rung protrudes at least
1m above working height.
Avoid leaving an unsecured ladder at
the top. Wrong ladder selection (e.g.
too short telescopic ladder, unsuitable
use, etc.) can cause accidents.
Objects, work equipment, etc., which
must be transported while climbing up
the telescopic ladder, should not be
heavy and easy to handle. Avoid excessive lateral
loads, such as carrying up heavy loads or drilling
sideways in solid materials.
Determine all hazards from electric
equipment in the proximity of the work
area, e.g. cables or other accessible
electric equipment. Do not use conducting
telescopic ladders for unavoidable electric jobs.
Do not put up the telescopic ladder in the
immediate vicinity of live electric equipment (e.g.
high-voltage overhead power lines).
Transport the telescopic ladder always in its
retracted position. Ensure that the telescopic
ladder is properly positioned and fixed on the roof
or truck to avoid transport damage.
Fix the rungs with the webbing when storing the
telescopic ladder to secure against accidental
opening. Do not use the top rung when hanging
the telescopic ladder up for storage. Always store
the telescopic ladder in a dry and clean place.
Before using the ladder
• Check the ladder visually for damages and
safe use at the start of each working day,
when the ladder is used;
• Commercial users are to check the ladder
regularly;
• Ensure that the ladder is suitable for the
respective job;
• Carry out a risk assessment considering the
legal requirements in the country of use before
using a ladder for work.
Bringing the ladder in position and
putting up the ladder
• Secure all locking mechanisms before use, if
installed.
Use Instructions
Never use a damaged telescopic ladder.
Extending the telescopic ladder – extending
only some rungs –
1. Place the telescopic ladder on solid and level
ground.
2. Stabilize the telescopic ladder with one foot on
the lowest rung and extend the telescopic
ladder bottom-up to the desired length if only
some rungs are needed and the ladder is not
extended to its full length.
The block is always at the top if the telescopic
ladder is not extended to its full length.
