• This product is rated as light-duty for general household use as per

ANSI-ASC A14.2 standard classiﬁcation (ladder type III).

• Do not exceed the maximum working load of 200 lbs (90 kg).

• Light duty ladders shall not be used with ladder jacks or scaffold

planks, or both.

• Ladders shall not be climbed by more than one person at a time.

• Self-supporting ladders shall not be used as single ladders or in the

partially closed position.

• The user shall climb or work with the body near the middle of the

step or rung.

• The user shall not step or stand on a ladder top cap or the rear

braces.

• The ladder base shall be placed with a secure footing on a ﬁrm, level

support surface. Ladder levelers may be used to achieve equal rail

support on uneven surfaces.

• Devices such as shoes, spurs, spikes, combinations thereof, or

similar devices of substantial design should be installed where

required for slip resistance and bearing area.

• Ladders shall not be used on ice, snow, or slippery surfaces unless

suitable means to prevent slipping are employed.

• Ladders shall not be placed on boxes, barrels, or other unstable

bases to obtain additional height.

• Portable ladders are not designed for excessive side loading, and

such abuse of the ladder shall be avoided. The ladder shall be kept

close to the work. The user shall not overreach, but shall descend

and relocate the ladder instead. When using a ladder, the user shall

never push or pull unless the ladder is properly secured.

• When ascending or descending the ladder, the user shall face the

ladder and maintain a ﬁrm hold on the ladder. The user shall not climb

onto a ladder from the side, from one ladder to another, or from a

swingstage to a ladder, unless the ladder is secured against sideways

motion or has been tied to the structure. The user shall not climb a

broken or bent ladder.

• Take proper safety measures when ladders are used in areas

containing electrical circuits. Avoid contact or possible contact with

an energized, uninsulated circuit or conductor in order to avoid

electrical shock or short circuit. Metal ladders and wood ladders

with side-rail metal reinforcement wires shall not be used where they

would come in contact with exposed energized electric wires.

• Keep this ladder away from electric power lines. Be particularly

careful when manipulating any ladder around an overhead electrical

power line.

• A ladder shall not be used as a brace, skid, lever, guy or gin pole,

gangway, platform, scaffold plank, material hoist, or for any other

use for which it was not intended. Ladders shall not be erected on

scaffolds to gain additional height.

• Ladders and ladder sections, shall not be tied or fastened together to

provide a longer length. Ladders and ladder sections shall not have

their length increased by other means.

• Ladders shall not be placed in front of doors opening toward the

ladder unless the door is blocked open, locked, or guarded.

• The user shall ensure that the stepladder is fully opened, with

spreaders locked and all feet contacting a ﬁrm level support surface.

• A ladder shall not be relocated while anyone is on it.

• The bracing on the rear rails of stepladders is designed solely for

increasing stability and not for climbing.

• Broken or bent ladders shall be marked and taken out of service until

they are repaired by a competent mechanic or destroyed in such

a manner as to render them useless. The user shall not attempt to

repair a defective side rail.

• Ladders, like any tool, must be handled with care and not be

subjected to dropping, jarring, or misuse. They are designed for

the purpose intended. Therefore, any variation from this purpose

constitutes a mishandling of the equipment.

• Ladders should be free of oil, grease, or slippery materials on

climbing or gripping surfaces.

• Do not let children climb on or play with the product.

• Regularly examine the product for wear and tear. Stop using the

product at ﬁrst sign of damage or if parts become detached.

Before First Use

DANGER

Risk of suffocation! Keep any packaging materials

away from children – these materials are a potential source of danger,

e.g. suffocation.

• Check the product for transport damages.

• Remove all the packing materials.

• A thorough ladder inspection shall be made when the ladder is

originally purchased, received, and put into service.

• The ladder shall be inspected periodically, preferably before each use.

• Working parts and rung/step-to-side rail connections shall be

checked.

• Where structural damage or other hazardous defect is found, the

ladder shall be taken out of service and either discarded or repaired

by a competent mechanic.

• The ladder shall be inspected for side rail dents or bends, or

excessively dented rungs. All rung/step-to-side rail connections shall

be checked, as well as hardware connections, rivets (for shear), and

all other components.

• If ladders are exposed to excessive heat, as in the case of ﬁre, their

strength may be reduced. After such exposure the ladder shall be

inspected visually for damage and tested for deﬂection and strength

characteristics.

• If ladders are subjected to certain acids or alkali materials, they may

experience chemical corrosion and a reduction in strength. Consult a

qualiﬁed person prior to use.

For regular inspection, the following items shall be taken into

account:

• Check that the stiles/legs (uprights) are not bent, bowed, twisted,

dented, cracked, corroded or rotten.

• Check that the stiles/legs around the ﬁxing points for other

components are in good condition.

• Check that ﬁxings (usually rivets, screws or bolts) are not missing,

loose, or corroded.

• Check that rungs/steps are not missing, loose, excessively worn,

corroded or damaged.

• Check that the hinges between front and rear sections are not

damaged, loose or corroded.

• Check that the locking stays horizontal, back rails and corner braces

are not missing, bent, loose, corroded or damaged.

• Check that the rung hooks are not missing, damaged, loose or

corroded and engage properly on the; rungs.

• Check that guide brackets are not missing, damaged, loose or

corroded and engage properly on the mating stile.

• Check that ladder feet / end caps are not missing, loose, excessively

worn, corroded or damaged.

• Check that the entire ladder is free from contaminants (e.G. Dirt, mud,

paint, oil or grease).

• Check that locking catches (if ﬁtted) are not damaged or corroded

and function correctly.

• Check that the platform (if ﬁtted) has no missing parts or ﬁxings and is

not damaged or corroded.

WARNING

If any of the above checks cannot be fully satisﬁed, you

should NOT use the ladder.

Cleaning

• To clean the product, wipe with a soft, slightly moist cloth.

• Never use corrosive detergents, wire brushes, abrasive scourers,

metal or sharp utensils to clean the product.

Maintenance

NOTICE

Proper ladder maintenance ensures the safe condition of

the ladder. Repairs and maintenance shall be carried out by a competent

person and be in accordance with the producer’s instructions.

• Hardware, ﬁttings, and accessories should be checked frequently and

kept in proper working condition.

• All pivotable connections and the runglock cam surfaces should be

lubricated frequently.

• All bolts and rivets shall be in place and secure before using a ladder,

and no ladder should be used if any bolts or rivets are missing or if

the joints between the steps (or rungs) and the side rails are not tight.

• Ladders with safety shoes or padded feet which are excessively worn

shall be taken out of service until repaired.

Transportation

• Ladders transported on road, street, and highway vehicles shall be

properly supported. Overhang of the ladders beyond supporting

points should be limited. Supporting points should be of a material

such as wood or rubber-covered iron pipe, to minimize chaﬁng and

the effects of road shock. Securing the ladder to each support point

will greatly reduce damage due to road shock.

• Ladders shall be secured to the truck rack in a manner that will avoid

chaﬁng from relative horizontal and vertical motion. The ladder feet,

when present, should be secured from pivoting about the ladder

while the vehicle is in motion. The ladder truck rack shall be designed

to positively secure the ladder into a ﬁxed position, and the rack

should be designed to ﬁt the particular ladder being ﬁxed to the truck.

If these requirements are not satisﬁed, excessive wear of the ladder

will occur, which will cause premature deterioration of the ladder and

reduce its service life. Improperly designed and used truck racks may

damage side rails, steps or rungs, feet, and other ladder parts, owing

to vehicle vibration and road shock.

Storage

• Store ladder where protected from unsafe materials, impact, or

corrosion damage.

• Store ladder away from dampness and excessive heat.

• Store ladder where it cannot be damaged by vehicles, heavy objects,

or contaminants.

• Store ladder where it cannot cause a trip hazard or an obstruction.

• Store ladder where it cannot be easily used for criminal purposes.

• Store ladder where it is secured against unauthorized climbing (e.g.

by children)

• Ladders should be stored in or on racks designed to protect the

ladder when it is not in use. These racks should have sufﬁcient

supporting points to avoid sagging. Materials shall not be placed on

the ladder while it is in storage.
