before using it. Get to know your ladder.
Securely engage rung locks before
climbing.
Use the proper 75.5-degree working
angle, the distance from the ladder’s
base to the base of the support wall
must be 1/4 the working length of the
ladder; i.e., 1 foot out from the wall for
every 4 feet in height. Use the level
bubbles installed on the ladder to check
the proper angle.
Keep the ladder clean and free from
debris. Wear slip-resistant shoes.
Keep the ladder close to your work:

Erecting the Lunar Ladder
1. Lay the ladder on the ground with the base
section facing up. Place the spike shoe of the
ladder against a wall to keep the ladder from
moving. (Figure 1).
2. Lift the other end of the ladder, and walk the
ladder hand over hand one rung at a time until
you are able to lean the ladder against the
wall. The inner or fly section should be facing
out. (Figures 1-3).
3. Lift the base of the ladder and carefully move
the base away from the wall until the ladder
leans at a 75.5-degree angle. Use the bubble
level to verify that you have set the ladder at a
75-degree angle. (Figures 3-5).
Extending the Lunar Ladder Using Rope and
Pulley System
1. Position yourself in front the ladder and lean
the ladder slightly away from the wall.
2. Pull the rope to extend the ladder to your
desired height.
3. When the ladder reaches the desired height,
make sure the rung locks are fully hooked
over the two rung sections. Check bubble
level and lean angle as needed.
4. To take down your ladder, reverse this
process. Working slowly will help you keep
control of the ladder.
CABLE HOOK SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Properly lock cable hooks into use position before
climbing.
2. Never lean ladder on hooks when using against a
building or other solid surface.
3. Never hang ladder from cable hooks. The cable
hooks are designed for use as a safety precaution, not
as a means of total support for the ladder.
4. Always tie off ladder to cable or pole to prevent sliding.
5. Read and follow all other instructions on the ladder.

PROPER SELECTION
1. Select ladder of proper size to reach working height.
2. IMPORTANT: Ladders are designed to support one person
plus materials and tools, not more than the working load
on the notice label on this ladder.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect upon receipt and before each use; never climb a
damaged, bent or broken ladder. All parts must be in
good working order.
2. Make sure all rivets, joints, nuts, and bolts are tight, rungs
secure, ladder extension locks and feet functioning (if
necessary, lubricate), rope properly attached and in good
condition.
3. Keep your ladder clean, free from grease, oil, mud, snow,
wet paint, and other slippery material. Keep your shoes
clean; leather soles should not be used.
4. Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing
parts.
5. If your ladder is broken, worn or exposed to fire or
chemical corrosion, destroy it.
PROPER SET-UP
1. DANGER! METAL CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY! Do not let
ladders of any material come in contact with live electrical
wires.
2. Secure the base when raising extension and never set up
the ladder when it is extended.
3. Set a single or extension ladder at proper 75.5-degree
angle by bracing the ladder base a distance equal to 1/4
total working length of the ladder away from base of
vertical support. If the distance is less than 3 feet, place
the base of the ladder a minimum of 3 feet from vertical
support.
4. Set your ladder on rm ground. Do not lean sideways. Do
not use on ice or snow or slippery surface without
non-skid devices or securing feet.
5. Erect the ladder approximately 3 feet above the roof line
or working surfaces; tie top at support points.
6. Extend the top section only from the ground, never by
“bouncing”or from the roof.
7. Do not over-extend. Maintain a minimum overlap of 34”
for ladders up to 32.’
8. Place the ladder on a rm, level surface with a secure
footing. Do not use the ladder on slippery surfaces. Do
not place the ladder on boxes, unstable bases or on
scaolds. Do not tie or fasten ladders together to gain
additional height.
9. Do not place the ladder in front of a door opening toward
it.
10. When possible use a second person to hold your ladder.
PROPER CLIMBING AND USE
1. DO NOT USE LADDERS if you tire easily, are subject to
fainting spells, are using medicine or alcohol, or are physi-
cally impaired.
2. To protect children, do not leave a ladder set up and
unattended.
3. Securely engage the rung locks before climbing.
4. Face the ladder when climbing up or down; keep your body
centered between the side rails. Move ladder as needed, do
not overreach.
5. Maintain a firm grip. Use both hands while climbing.
6. Do not climb onto a ladder from the side unless the ladder is
secured against side-wise motion. Do not climb from one
ladder to another.
7. Do not stand on or above the top three rungs. Never climb
above the top support point.
8. Do not use a ladder in high winds.
9. Never use an extension ladder as a platform, plank or hoist.
Never use a ladder on a scaold. Do not overload the
ladder. Extension ladders are meant for one person.
10. Keep your ladder close to your work; avoid over-reaching,
pushing or pulling o the side of the ladder.
11. Never drop or apply an impact load to a ladder.
12. Do not “walk” or “shift” the ladder while standing on it.
PROPER CARE AND STORAGE
1. Hang your ladder on racks in a dry place at intervals of 6 feet
for support.
2. Properly secure and support your ladder while in transit.
3. Never store materials on your ladder.
4. Keep your ladder clean and free of all foreign materials.
