- Make sure that when collapsing the ladder any objects that you have placed in the Toolbag
of the wall support do not fall out. Also make sure that the weight of the objects does not
cause the ladder to fall over before or when collapsing the ladder.
EN
- Prevent a situation where you have a half step at all times; this may occur if you collapse
higher rungs
- Never collapse the telescopic ladder by pushing the locking buttons (to the left and right
underneath the rungs) by hand (figure 2 F).
- Never unlock the telescopic ladder with one or two hands on a rung (trapping hazard!)
(figure 2 F).
- If the wall support with Toolbag is used, this can be collapsed back in. To do this, unlock the
wall support on both sides using the left and right buttons positioned on the wall support.
Now both sides can be collapsed upwards and slid into the ladder.
Use of the telescopic ladder
Attention!
If a telescopic ladder falls, immediately check if the ladder can be fully collapsed. If this is not
possible, do not use the ladder! Deformities may lead to breakages.
- Never load a telescopic ladder in excess of 150 kg (= a person climbing telescopic ladder
including any "baggage").
- When carrying out work, always keep both feet on a step/rung of the telescopic ladder.
Never stand, for example, with just one foot on the telescopic ladder and the other foot
resting on a window frame. Never reach or lean too far to the side when working on a
telescopic ladder (max. 1 arm length). If the centre of gravity is moved from the centre of
the telescopic ladder, this can become unstable and can collapse (rule of thumb: keep your
navel between the uprights of the telescopic ladder). If necessary, reposition the telescopic
ladder more frequently.
- Do not use a telescopic ladder to access other (higher) levels.
- Never climb a telescopic ladder any higher than the red rung or never higher than the 4th
rung from the top (the maximum safe standing position).
- Telescopic ladders may only be used for light work and for short periods of time.
- If there is an unavoidable risk of direct contact with electricity, do not use this telescopic
ladder!
- Do not use a telescopic ladder outdoors in high winds (force 6) or other unfavourable
weather conditions.
- Never leave a telescopic ladder unsupervised that has already been set up for use. Think
about (playing) children.
- When possible, close windows and doors (not emergency exits) in the immediate vicinity of
the work.
- Climb the telescopic ladder when you have at least one hand free. When ascending/
descending the telescopic ladder, hold on properly. This should always be done while
facing the telescopic ladder. Holding a rung with at least one hand provides increased
security should you slip or miss your footing.
- Do not use a telescopic ladder as a bridge (section).
- Wear sensible footwear to avoid slipping and/or painful knocks (no slippers, high-heeled
shoes or clogs).
Relax. It's an Altrex.
