Welcome

About the Transforma

™

Ladder

The Transforma

™

Ladder is a multi-purpose ladder system combining three

core components: One inner ladder unit with two outer ladder units that

slide and lock over the inner ladder unit.

The inner ladder has a central locking hinge that allows the Transforma

™

Ladder to be set up in a variety of ways:

✔ A-frame Position

✔ Extension Position

✔ Step Level Position

✔ Scaolding Trestle Position

Safety precaution:

Only use the Tranforma

™

24 and 35 120kg ladder in the A-frame with

the spreader Installed to brace the ladder.

Locking assemblies on the two outer ladder units allow the telescoping and

height adjustment of the outer ladder sections up and down the inner ladder

unit. This mechanism locks into the rungs of the inner ladder unit, allowing

adjustment at both ends of the ladder.

Why read this manual?

Following a few simple pointers will help you to avoid common mistakes

that can spoil your project. Read this manual to get the maximum use of all

congurations of the ladder and to ensure safety when using.

Safety

Safety Advice: Portable Ladders

Ladders can be a serious safety hazard if not used properly.

✔ Ensure safety feet are tted to the ladder before each use.

✔ Make sure it is rm and steady with no defective rungs, braces or

side rails.

✔ Get help in carrying and setting up heavy extension ladders.

✔ Always use a ladder that is long enough.

✔ Never climb or stand on the top two steps of a stepladder.

✔ Don’t stand on the top two rungs of an extension ladder.

✔ Always set the ladder up on a level surface. Ladders are not

designed for a side sloping surface and there’s an increased chance

that a ladder set on a slope will tip over sideways.

✔ Attaching a leg leveller at the base of the ladder decreases the

chance of tipping, allowing for a safer working area.

✔ Use a wide board on soft ground, approximately 15-20 cm (6 - 8

inches) width or more to stop the ladder legs from slipping and

sinking into the ground.

✔ Do not set the feet of a ladder so far away that they may slip out at

the bottom.

✔ A ladder placed too close and upright may tip backwards. Use the 4ft

to 1ft angle rule or the 75° angle rule.

✔ Securing the ladder to a rm support near the top can help to prevent

slipping or tipping.

✔ Do not use the outer or inner sections of the ladder as a separate

stepladder.

✔ Do not use the inner section of the ladder when separated from the

outer section in the extension ladder position.

✔ Never climb from the back of the ladder in the extension ladder

position.

✔ Only use the Transforma

™

120kg ladder in the A-Frame position with

the spreader installed to brace the ladder. Refer to page 26.

Safety

Some other safety tips:

✔ Get a responsible person to hold the base of the ladder.

✔ Be aware of electrical power lines and try to avoid working near them

at all times.

✔ Look out for objects around the ladder that could shake or make the

ladder slip - example, a swaying tree.

✔ Beware of sudden gusts of high wind.

✔ Ensure the ladder is long enough for the job.

✔ Safety feet must be tted to the ladder before each use.

✔ Ask for assistance when using a heavy ladder. To avoid the ladder

shifting and swaying, set it up on level ground or use a leg leveller.

✔ If the ground is soft use a wide board under the feet.

✔ The proper set up angle to use for a straight ladder is a 4 to 1 ratio or

75° angle approximately.

✔ Check that your shoe soles and the ladder rungs are not slippery.

✔ When climbing the ladder always face it.

✔ Work well below the top of the ladder.

✔ Secure the ladder at the top and bottom if possible.

✔ Do not overreach. Move the ladder!

✔ Have one hand on the ladder at all times.

✔ Use a line to take up tools rather than carrying them.

✔ Be just as careful on a short stepladder as you would be on a 30 foot

extension ladder. False security can lead to carelessness and falls

that can cause serious injuries, even death.

Please read these Quick Ladder Tips before you or your family

use any ladder. Just remember this simple mnemonic: CALL.

Extendable Plank

The Extendable Plank is ideal on

those jobs where you require the

additional height that the ladder

provides over a small or large work

area, such as painting coving in your

house or maintaining your guttering.

Alternatively, you could use your plank

as a portable workbench to store your

tools on.

Step Action

1 Unlock the palm button pins by pushing both buttons straight

in until they stay in the open position.

Note: Any pressure on the palm button pins may make it

dicult to unlock the hinge. Relieve the pressure by simply

jiggling one half of the ladder back and forth until the palm

button pins can move freely.

Palm button Pins

Note: DO NOT USE TOOLS TO FORCE THE PALM

BUTTON IN OR OUT as this will cause permanent damage

to the hinge mechanism. When the holes are aligned

correctly it should only take light pressure to unlock the palm

button.

2 Open the ladder by pulling the two ladder halves apart

until both palm button pins snap and lock into the A-frame

position.

4 Change the ladder into the extension position by pushing

straight in on the palm buttons of both buttons (Step 1).

Rotate the ladder halves until the palm buttons snap into

their locked position.

To reset the ladder to the storage position, use the

above procedure but in reverse. The palm buttons lock

automatically at the A-frame position to prevent damage

to the ladder or injury to the user. Take care not to let the

full weight of the ladder collapse uncontrollably onto the

palm button as you change the ladder from the extension

to A-frame conguration. Disengage the palm buttons in

the A-frame position and return the ladder to its storage

position.

Safety precaution:

Please read the imprinted text on the hinge!
