Always hold tight and ensure safe
footing when climbing up or down the
telescopic ladder. Watch the telescopic
ladder when climbing up or down. Never climb up
or down with the back against the telescopic
ladder, always face the ladder.
The telescopic ladder is only to
be used by one person at a time.
When working on the telescopic ladder, hold on to
it with one hand or lean against it, if possible.
Take additional safety measures if this is not
possible.
Place the telescopic ladder only on its feet and
not on the rungs. Do not use the telescopic ladder
upside down.
When putting up the telescopic ladder ensure that
pedestrians, vehicles, etc. cannot collide with the
telescopic ladder. Ensue that no doors or
windows are in the working area, which can
unexpectedly be opened. Close all doors and
windows within the working area, except the
emergency exits, if possible.
Never exceed the permissible load
capacity of the telescopic ladder. The
telescopic ladder has a permissible load
capacity of max. 150 kg.
Always stand with both feet on one rung.
Put up the telescopic ladder in an
inclination angle of 1:4, which
corresponds to a support angle on the
ground of approx. 75 degrees.
Wear sturdy shoes to prevent slipping, stumbling,
etc.
Do not change the position of the telescopic
ladder while you are standing on it.
Do not use the telescopic ladder carelessly (e.g.
climbing two rungs at a time, sliding down the
ladder stringers, jumping off the ladder, etc.)
Ensure that the plastic end caps are always
attached to the telescopic ladder. Do not use the
ladder without plastic end caps. They prevent dirt,
dust, etc. from entering the telescopic tubing and
causing damages.
Do not use the top three rungs to climb or to
stand on.
Avoid impacts, since damages can affect the
sliding mechanism.
Do not use the telescopic ladder
horizontally, for instance to bridge
precipices or as a storage shelf, saw
horse, etc.
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.
