WARNING

Safety Basics 6

!

13’!

!

! ! ! ! !

!

• Do not attempt to use any tools to move or unlock the Hinge Locks or

J-Locks. This may cause permanent damage to the hinge mechanism and make the ladder

unsafe.

• Do not attempt to unlock the Hinge Lock if there is pressure or weight on it. Open and close

the ladder slightly to take pressure off the lock if you feel resistance when trying to open the

Hinge Locks.

• Each J-Lock should be fully engaged before attempting to climb the ladder. Failure to fully

engage J-Locks may result in injury.

• When attempting to climb the ladder, each rung must be level side-to-side and front to back.

The rungs are designed to climb from one side only. This is clearly marked on the ladder for

your safety.

• Always keep clothing and body parts out of all moving mechanisms, including the Hinge

Locks and J-Locks to avoid pinching.

• Keep clothing and body parts away from rungs when telescoping the OUTER SECTION over

the INNER SECTION.

• Use caution when using the ladder around any source of electricity. Aluminum is highly

conductive and should never come in contact with electrical devices or wiring.

• The Mighty Multi™ has a load rating of 300 lbs.

• Do not stand above the third rung from top.

• Ascent Products, LLC assumes no liability for damage or injury that may result from failing to

correctly follow all instructions.

• Keep your Mighty Multi clean and free from dirt and debris.

• Do not lean too far over the side of the ladder and keep three points of contact with the

ladder at all times! Keep your body centered between the rails.

• Always inspect ladder for condition before using; replace feet if there is unusual wear and

tear.

• Safety labels are located on the ladder. Thoroughly read all safety labels and the Owner’s

Manual before using this ladder!

Adjusting the Hinge Locks 7

!

13’!

To store the Mighty Multi Ladder, and to put it into use, it is

necessary to utilize the two Hinge Locks which are located on

the top of the INNER SECTION.

Pushing inwards on the Hinge Lock UNLOCKS the hinge to

allow adjusting.

When the ladder is in the selected position (Storage position,

A-Frame position or Extension Ladder position) the Hinge

Lock automatically seats itself into the locked position.

!

UNLOCK

Note:

When the position of the

ladder is selected, visually

verify AND physically test

that the ladder is locked

before attempting to climb.

Adjusting the J-Locks 8

!!!!!

!

13’!

To adjust the height of the ladder, it is necessary to utilize the J-

Locks. When adjusting the J-Locks, lock and unlock just one

at a time, using your free hand to guide the OUTER SECTION.

Visually confirm that each J-Lock is fully seated within the

ladder rung to ensure it is in the locked position.

!

Note:

When extending ladder to the Extension Ladder position,

it is recommended the ladder be flat on the ground.

Once you have verified that all the J-Locks are locked,

place ladder into the upright position.

!

LOCKED

UNLOCKED

!

Storage - The Mighty Multi can be stored quite compactly.

To do this you must first unlock the J-Locks (if necessary, refer to

the J-Lock instructions on page 8), lower the INNER SECTION to

the ground and then lock the J-Locks back into place.

Next unlock the Hinge Lock and fold the ladder to the fully closed

position. At this point, the J-Locks should lock and the ladder is

now ready for storage.

Care - Inspect your ladder before each use. Be sure it is free of

dirt and debris. Occasionally use a light lubricant on the hinges to

ensure years of dependable operation.

Never store your Mighty Multi outdoors. The Mighty Multi should

be stored indoors to prevent rust and oxidation.

Configuring the 10

!

!!!!!!A-Frame Ladder

• To configure the Mighty Multi into the A-Frame (Step Ladder

position) follow instructions for adjusting the Hinge Lock on page

7.

• After placing the ladder into the Step Ladder configuration, you

may then adjust the height of the Step Ladder by utilizing the J-

Locks

(see page 8).

• Check that all locks are securely seated into

the locked position before attempting to

climb.

• Always face ladder while on it and maintain a

good grip on the rails while working and

climbing.

• Never stand on or above the second rung from

the top, regardless of proximity to the ground.

Extension Ladder

• To configure the Mighty Multi to the Extended position,

begin by unlocking the Hinge Locks and straightening the

ladder (see page 7).

• The ladder may then be lengthened by unlocking the J-Locks

(see page 8) and sliding the OUTER SECTION to the desired

length.

• When positioning the Extension Ladder, the angle to the vertical

plane of support should be 75 degrees (see Diagram 1).
