Safety notes

These operating instructions should have 
been read and understood in full prior 
to use. In case of any queries or doubts, 
please refer to a dealer or to the manu-
facturer directly. It is imperative the safety 
regulations are observed and complied 
with. Any other use is considered to be 
improper. Improper use and non-observa-
tion of the safety regulations may lead to 
accidents resulting in damage and injury 
for which the manufacturer will assume no 
liability.
Only original parts from the manufacturer 
may be used as accessories and spare 
parts!
The statutory warranty and the guarantee 
cover material, manufacturing or design 
errors for which are responsible. Dama-
ge attributable to natural wear, improper 
handling or modification are not covered 
by the warranty or guarantee.
Country-specific regulations for the use of 
ladders must be observed.

Storage

To prevent damage and deformation, store 
ladders in a dry condition, shielded from 
direct sunlight and weather conditions on 
a flat, clean surface or on suitable ladder 
holders. 

Storage should be in locations where lad-
ders cannot be damaged by vehicles, 
heavy objects or contaminants.
During storage, make sure that the lad-
ders do not pose a risk of tripping or an 
obstacle.

Ladders should not be stored with easy 
accessibility to restrict their use for crimi-
nal purposes.
When ladders are set-up permanently, 
make sure that they are not being used by 
unauthorised persons (e.g. children).

Repair and maintenance

Repair and maintenance work to ladders 
must be performed by expert personnel 
and in accordance with the manufacturer’s 
instructions. And in the case of ladders 
used in a professional context, they must 
be inspected by a competent person.
A competent person is anybody posses-
sing the knowledge of how to perform 
repairs or maintenance work; e.g. after 
receiving training from the manufacturer.
In the event of doubt, ladders should be 
repaired by specialist companies or the 
manufacturer.
In the event of repairs and the replace-
ment of parts – e.g. feet – the manufactu-
rer or dealer must be contacted if neces-
sary.
Depending on usage frequency and 
environmental influences, ladders must be 
serviced regularly. This involves cleaning, 
function checks of moving parts and, if 
necessary, cleaning.
Treat heavy soiling with warm water and 
commercially available cleaning agents, 
and dry down the ladders with a clean 
cloth. Solvent-based cleaning agents must
