C). If you apply pressure to the
corresponding rung, it can be
pushed down.
–Keep in mind that when you
extend the ladder from the top
down, the individual sections will
only lock when you have
extended the ladder to its full
length.
Angle indicator
(See g. A)
Make sure the ladder is at the cor-
rect angle (between 65°–75°)
before climbing the ladder.
The angle indicator 8is an addi-
tional tool to determine the correct
angle and gives a good indication of
whether the ladder is positioned at
the correct angle. Always check
whether the angle is actually cor-
rect and do not rely solely on the
angle indicator.

English
Operation angle indicator.
Set the ladder at the correct angle.
When the angle indicator 8is
completely green, the ladder is at
the correct angle. If red is still visi-
ble at the top or bottom of the angle
indicator, the ladder is not at the
correct angle. Adjust the angle of
the ladder until the angle indicator
fully shows the green mark.
Maintenance angle indicator.
Periodically check the angle indica-
tor by slowly tilting the ladder back
and forth to see if the angle indica-
tor moves freely. Do not use the
angle indicator if it is damaged or
does not move freely.
Extending the ladder
Extending the ladder by a few
rungs
If you do not extend the
ladder to its full length,
the blocks 9of the
remaining rungs that are not
extended must be located at the top
end of the ladder with the protec-
tive caps 7.
1. Set up the ladder on a solid and
level ground.
2. Stabilise the ladder by placing a
foot on the support foot 2.
3. Extend the ladder from the bottom
up, rung by rung until the desired
length is reached (see g. D).
With the aid of the locking
device, each section is automati-
cally locked as soon as the cor-
responding rung 5has extended
to its maximum.
4. Make sure that each and every
ladder section is locked before
you climb onto the ladder (see
section “Locking device”).
Extending the ladder to its total
length
1. Set up the ladder on a solid and
level ground.
2. Stabilise the ladder by placing a
foot on the support foot 2.
3. Extend the ladder from the top
down, rung by rung until the total
length is reached (see g. E and
F).Keep in mind that the locking
devices of the ladder only lock
when you have extended the lad-
der to its total length.
4. Make sure that each and every
ladder section is locked before
you climb onto the ladder (see
section “Locking device”).
Retracting the ladder
If you activate the lowest
unlock keys (on the sec-
ond rung from below), all
rungs of the above ladder section
are automatically unlocked and
retracted. If you begin with one of
the upper rungs, this only unlocks
the rungs above it and the rungs
below must be unlocked separately.
1. Make sure that the ladder stands
on a solid and level ground.

2. When retracting the ladder
ensure that your ngers, hands
and arms are at the height of the
actuated unlock keys 1.
3. Push both unlock keys of a rung
towards the centre so that the
red area below becomes visible.
(see g. G).
The locking device unlocks and
the remainder of the ladder
above the rung is retracted.
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
There is a risk of injury
with incorrect handling.
If rungs or beams are
contaminated, you can easily slip or
fall off the ladder and injure
yourself.
–Keep the ladder clean. Remove
contaminates, such as, e.g. dirt,
paint residues etc., after each
use and before retracting the
ladder.
–Always wipe the rungs off.
–Leave repair and maintenance
work to be carried out exclusively
by experts.
–If necessary, contact the
manufacturer or distributor for
repairs or replacement of parts
such as feet, for example.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper cleaning can lead to
damage.
–Do not use any aggressive
cleaners, brushes with metal or
nylon bristles or sharp or metallic
cleaning utensils such as knives,
hard scrapers and the like. They
could damage the surfaces.
–Keep the protective caps and the
non-slip caps of the support foot
free from dirt, abrasive grit and
so forth. This could damage the
surface.
–Clean the ladder with a brush or
a cloth.
–Dry the ladder, and in particular
the rungs, thoroughly after
cleaning.
–Under no circumstances carry
out maintenance and repairs to
the ladder by yourself. Contact
the manufacturer or a specialist
workshop at the service address
specied on the warranty card.
Liability and warranty claims are
waived in the event of repairs
performed by the user or
incorrect handling.
–Do not alter the design of the
