Note:
Please note the plastic protector. This is fitted to protect the
ladder’s feet during transit. Be sure to remove this and throw it
away before using the ladder.
It is perfectly normal for this part to become broken or misshapen
while the product is on its way to you. This means the protector
has done its job, preventing the ladder from being damaged.
Locking Mechanisms
IMPORTANT! Familiarise yourself with how the ladder works before use!
• Each step on the ladder has a pair of locking mechanisms. These consist of spring-
loaded steel pins that automatically lock into place as the ladder is extended.
• Each mechanism is connected to a locking lever visible on the outside (see Fig.1).
• The locking levers have 2 purposes. They indicate whether the mechanism is locked (or
not) and they serve as buttons for releasing the pins (lowering the ladder).
• A lever that is close to the side rail indicates that the mechanism is locked. A lever away
from the side rail indicates that it is NOT locked (see Fig.2).
CAUTION! The locking mechanisms may appear to audibly 'click' shut, but always visually
ensure they are locked. The locking mechanism must be fully secured before use.
