2.1. Seznam delov, ki jih je potrebno pregledati
- Preverite stojine; Stojine niso upognjene, nagubane, zasukane,
razpokane, korodirane ali pokvarjene.
- Preverite ali so stojine in klini/stopnice okoli pritrdilnih točk za
druge komponent v dobrem stanju in brez napak.
- Preverite, da pritrdilni elementi (kovice, vijaki, matice, podložke)
ne manjkajo, so ohlapne ali korodirane.
- Preverite, da klini/stopnice ne manjkajo, niso ohlapni, pretirano
obrabljeni korodirani ali poškodovani.
- Prepričajte se, da se zaklepni mehanizmi zaklenejo brez težav, da
se ne odprejo samodejno, ne manjka katero od okovij (vodila zgo-
raj, spodaj) ter ni nič od naštetega poškodovano, korodirano ali
ohlapno.
- Preverite, da nosilne kljuke niso poškodovane, ohlapne, korodira-
ne in če so pravilno pritrjene na kline.
- Preverite, da vodila niso poškodovana, ohlapna, korodirana in če
so pravilno pritrjena.
- Preverite, da plastični čepi na stojinah niso poškodovani, ohlapni
ali pretirano obrabljeni.
- Preverite, da je lestev čista.
- Preverite, da je platforma nameščena pravilno, brez poškodb,
manjkajočih delov, pritrdilnih elementov in da ni preveč obrabljena
ter korodirana.
Če najdemo pomanjkljivosti pri katerem koli zgoraj naštetem pre-
gledu, lestve NE smemo uporabljati!
2.2. Shramba lestve
- Ali je lestev shranjena tako, da nanjo ne more vplivati velika vlaž-
nost, vročina, sonce ali drugi zunanji vplivi?
- Ali je lestev shranjena v položaju, ki ji pomaga da ostane ravna:
obešena za kline na ustreznih stenskih nosilcih ali položena na tla
brez obremenjevanja?
- Ali je lestev shranjena tako, da je ne moremo poškodovati z vozi-
lom, težkimi predmeti in nevarnimi snovmi?
- Ali je lestev shranjena tako, da se z njeno pomočjo ne more zgodi-
ti kriminalno dejanje?
- Ali je lestev zavarovana proti neupravičenemu plezanju, če je
trajno nameščena?
Če pozitivno opravite vse zgornje preglede, je vaša lestev pravilno
shranjena.

2. Checking the ladders
The ladder must be checked before every use by user or by techni-
cal expert to ensure that the ladder is safe for use. The user should
check the ladder with suggested »list of items to be inspected«
with »pass/fail criteria« method.
2.1. List of items to be inspected
- Check that the stiles/legs (upright) are not bent, bowed, twisted,
dented, cracked, corroded or rotten.
- Check that the stiles/legs around the fixing points for other com-
ponents 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 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.
If any above checks cannot full satisfied, you should NOT use the
ladder!
2.2. Storage list of items to be inspected
- Is the ladder stored away from areas where its condition could
deteriorate more rapidly (e.g. dampness, excessive heat, sun, or
exposed to the elements)?
- Is the ladder stored in a position which helps it to remain straight
(e.g. hung by the stiles on proper ladder brackets or laid on a flat
clutter free surface)?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot be damaged by vehicles,
heavy objects, or contaminants?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot cause a trip hazard for crimi-
nal purposes?
- If the the ladder is permanently positioned (e.g. on scaffolding), is
it secured against unaut horized climbing (e.g. by children)?
If you pass all above checks, the ladder is stored correctly.

ces.
4. The ladder is made mainly of aluminium. Properly recycle single
parts of the ladder.
2. Checking the ladders
The ladder must be checked before every use by user or by techni-
cal expert to ensure that the ladder is safe for use. The user should
check the ladder with suggested »list of items to be inspected«
with »pass/fail criteria« method.
2.1. List of items to be inspected
- Check that the stiles/legs (upright) are not bent, bowed, twisted,
dented, cracked, corroded or rotten.
- Check that the stiles/legs around the fixing points for other com-
ponents 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 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.
If any above checks cannot full satisfied, you should NOT use the
ladder!
2.2. Storage list of items to be inspected
- Is the ladder stored away from areas where its condition could
deteriorate more rapidly (e.g. dampness, excessive heat, sun, or
exposed to the elements)?
- Is the ladder stored in a position which helps it to remain straight
(e.g. hung by the stiles on proper ladder brackets or laid on a flat
clutter free surface)?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot be damaged by vehicles,
heavy objects, or contaminants?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot cause a trip hazard for crimi-
nal purposes?
- If the the ladder is permanently positioned (e.g. on scaffolding), is
it secured against unaut horized climbing (e.g. by children)?
If you pass all above checks, the ladder is stored correctly.
