SAFETY GUIDELINES
General Safety
Jefferson Multipurpose Ladders have a maximum static load of 150kg and a duty rating of 115kg.
Ensure that the total weight of the user, tools and materials do not exceed this recommended working load guideline.
• Inspect the ladder for safety before each use.
• If you nd signs of damage, have it repaired before using it.
• Never use the ladder with missing, worn or damaged parts.
• Do not use the ladder if it has been exposed to excessive heat or corrosive agents (such as acids or alkalis).
• Regularly inspect the ladder feet and replace them when they show signs of wear.
• Always keep the ladder clean of all foreign materials and clean it after each use.
• Check moving parts regularly and lubricate them when necessary.
• Avoid getting lubricant on the rungs or side rail, as this may cause a slip hazard.
Placement & Setup
• Place the feet of the ladder on rm, level ground to ensure that they are fully supported to prevent any movement.
• Never place anything on or under the ladder to gain height or use unstable means to adjust for uneven surfaces.
• Do not use the ladder in front of unlocked doors, or anywhere you may be hit by moving people or objects.
• If you need to use the ladder on a slippery surface, secure it to prevent it from sliding before you climb it. The use of ladders on drop cloths
may present a sliding hazard.
• Do not force the hinges in or out using any tools. Doing so may cause permanent damage to the hinge mechanism.
• If there is pressure on the hinge lock pins, they may not open properly. Relieve the pressure by moving one half of the ladder back and forth
until the hinge locks move with minimal force.
• Where applicable, ensure that the hinge locks are securely engaged before climbing your ladder.
• Make sure each lock tab is fully engaged into the appropriate rung tube before climbing. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Set up your ladder so the rungs are always level from front to back and from side to side.
Recommended use
• Never use a ladder while you are under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or medication, or when you are not physically t to use it.
• Use extreme caution when getting on or off ladder. When possible, have someone hold the ladder to stabilise it.
• Do not stand above the third rung from top when the ladder is fully extended.
• Over-reaching may cause you to lose your balance or tip the ladder. Do not lean too far over the side of the ladder and keep three points of
contact at all times.
• Never move the ladder while someone is on it.
• When using the ladder as a stepladder or extension ladder, always face the ladder and maintain a rm grip.
• Use extreme caution when pushing or pulling anything while standing on the ladder.
• Never use the ladder as a brace or use ladder jacks.
• Keep all ladder rungs, ladder feet, work platforms, and other standing and gripping surfaces clean and free from foreign materials.
• If a spill occurs, clean it up before continuing work.
• Use caution when using the ladder around electricity. Ensure that the ladder does not come in contact with electrical wires, circuits or
currents.
• If you have to work outdoors or in windy conditions, take extra caution.
• Keep clothing and body parts out of all moving mechanisms, including the hinge locks and lock tabs, to avoid pinching.
• Keep clothing and body parts away from rungs when telescoping the outer ladder over the inner ladder.
Using on uneven surface
• When using your ladder on a staircase, ensure that the rungs are level and that each foot is on a solid, secure surface.
Extention ladder tips
• Do not allow the full weight of the ladder to fall on the hinges as the ladder folds from the extension to the A-frame position.
• When releasing the lock tabs, make sure you support the inner ladder assembly with one hand to prevent it from sliding down rapidly.
• Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Use the proper angle for the extension ladder position. The distance from the base of the ladder to the bottom of the support wall should
be one quarter the working height of the extension ladder.
• The minimum distance between the ladder and the support wall must be at least one metre.
• When using your ladder as a tall extension ladder, stake the feet to the ground and tie down the top for extra security.
• Extend the ladder at least one metre above a supporting roof.

OPERATION GUIDE
Push Knob Hinge Locks - Change your ladder’s shape
The ladders inner section allows the ladder to be folded into 3 set positions; extension ladder, twin stepladders, and storage.
Each of these congurations is made possible by the push knob locking hinge located on each side of the ladder.
To adjust the angle of the ladder:
1) With the center hinges in the closed position (Fig. 1) push the knobs with the palm of your hand directly onto the centre
of the ladder, they will stay in the open position.
2) In the open position (Fig. 2) the ladder angle can be adjusted.
Note: The open position can be verified by the exposed triple inner posts on the push knob.
3) When the ladder reaches any of the 3 set positions, the push knobs will automatically spring back into the closed position.
4) To close ladder to the folded position, repeat steps 1-3.
WARNING!
• Serious injury or death could result if supporting hinges are NOT LOCKED when ladder in use.
• Make certain supporting hinges are LOCKED before using ladder EACH TIME.

LADDER CONFIGURATIONS
1. A-Frame Stepladder
1) The A- Frame position is easiest completed with the ladder standing up as
excess pressure is not exerted on the hinge.
At this point the height of the ladder can be changed to the desired height using the Spring loaded “J” locks
• For every position all hinges are supporting hinges and must be locked
• Never straddle front and rear sections.
• Always face ladder and maintain rm grip while on it.
• DO NOT stand on or above second rung from top of ladder
2. Uneven A-Frame (Stair Ways)
1) Raise to desired height.
2) Lower one side of the inner section until the desired step height is reached.
3) Position ladder on stairway, ensuring all legs are on rm ground or steps.
3. Extension Ladder
Note: The extension ladder position is easiest completed with the ladder laying on the ground.
(1) Conguring the ladder into the extension ladder position, as with the stepladder position, the extension ladder
position starts with changing the angle.
Note: The push knob hinge will catch in each of the 3 positions. Continue to disengage and rotate the sections until
the fully open extension ladder position is reached.
(2) Unlock one set of “J” locks and extend outer section to desired length. If additional height is needed, repeat with
opposite side. Make sure “J” locks are properly re-engaged.
(3) With all locks properly engaged, lift ladder from one end and slowly walk ladder up until it rests against desired
surface. Watch for overhead wires.
(4) Adjust ladder to proper climbing position or approximately 75°.
CAUTION!
• Always face ladder and maintain
firm grip while on it.
• DO NOT stand on or above the
second rung from the top of ladder.
75°
Approx.
CAUTION!
• Hinges and “J” locks must be
secure before climbing.
