Welcome
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 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.

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!
