Straight Ladder Mode Instructions - Little Giant Climb On M13 Consignes De Fonctionnement/Sécurité

F. Straight Ladder Mode Instructions
1. Starting from the small stepladder mode, release the hinge locks and rotate your ladder
up into the straight ladder mode until the hinges lock. Then, lay the ladder face up on the
ground near the wall it will be leaned against. If your ladder has TIP & GLIDE™ wheels,
they must be positioned to the top of the ladder, so lay it out with the wheels pointed away
from the wall (Fig. 31).
2. Unlock the outer ladder locks on the top outer ladder assembly and extend to the desired
height. If extra height is needed, extend the bottom section as well (Fig. 32). When the
ladder is at the desired height, fully lock all outer ladder locks.
NOTE: Always extend the top outer ladder assembly first. It should be fully extended
before the bottom section is extended.
3. Flip the ladder over, so the rungs are facing the ground (Fig. 33).
4. Slide the feet at the bottom of the ladder against the wall (Fig. 34).
5. Walk the ladder hand-over-hand, one rung at a time, until you are able to lean the ladder
against the wall (Fig. 35).
NOTE: If you can't push the feet up against the base of the wall, utilize a second
person to brace the feet as you stand the ladder up.
6. Carefully lift and pull the base of the ladder out from the wall until the ladder leans at the
proper 75.5° climbing angle (the distance the feet should be out from the wall is 1/4 of the
height of the ladder up to the point it rests on the wall).
WARNING: IF CLIMBING ONTO A ROOF OR ELEVATED PLATFORM, FOR YOUR
SAFETY, THE LADDER MUST EXTEND THREE RUNGS ABOVE THE ROOF LINE OR
PLATFORM. IN THE STRAIGHT LADDER MODE, ALWAYS STAKE THE FEET TO THE
GROUND AND TIE OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER FOR EXTRA SECURITY. NEVER
STAND ABOVE THE SUPPORT POINT OR THE THIRD RUNG FROM THE TOP.

7. To take the ladder down, reverse these steps, taking care to maintain control of the
ladder, making sure there are no tripping hazards behind you while walking it down.
