with the rungs or treads level (e.g. 1m away from the base of a wall if extending to climb 4m up (see fig.A)).
1.6. Always position the ladder against a at, non-fragile surface and secure properly before use e.g. tied down or with the

and before the Ladder is closed. Take care to also clean the rungs.
TIP:
For tougher stains, a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner can be added to a soft tissue or cloth. After cleaning, the Telescopic Tubes must be
treated with a silicon spray by opening all sections of the Ladder, spraying and wiping them clean with a paper towel or dry cloth. The Ladder must
always be dry. The end caps of the Ladder must always be sealed to prevent the ingress of dirt and other objects into the body which may cause
the Telescopic Tubes to become damaged. Any damage to your Telescopic Ladder should be repaired by a qualied person only.
