b. You will also hear a "click" when the locking pins spring into
position.
c. WARNING: If you cannot see any green indicator on either side of
the steps you have opened – DO NOT CLIMB ON THE LADDER
d. Never work when standing on the top four steps (Figure 4) and
make sure that the ladder is at least one metre higher than the
step on which you are standing (Fig. 3).
2.2.c Use:
Check the direction of use before mounting the ladder
(locking latch should be facing the user).
2.2.d Storing the ladder:
Take special care when you close your ladder. Never put any part of your
body (hands, fingers or thumbs) on, or between the steps or connecting
elements located above the step that you are in the process of closing
(Diagram 3).
1) The "X-TENSO 2" ladder possesses a "soft closing" system, which
makes each step close gently.
2) Hold the ladder vertically as shown in Fig. 6. Make sure that you are
on a flat, firm surface.
3) Put your thumbs on the unlocking mechanism on the second step
from the bottom (Figure 5). Depending on the model you are using,
push each unlocking mechanism either inwards or upwards for
unlocking the ladder (Fig. 6).
a. The whole ladder is now unlocked (DO NOT CLIMB ON THE
LADDER AFTER CARRYING OUT THIS OPERATION).
b. With the "soft closing" system you may need to guide the steps
down gently when closing the ladder.
c. Close the base by pushing it towards the inside of the ladder until
it clicks into position, then attach the strap for holding the ladder
in its "storage position".
STORE THE LADDER IN THE UPRIGHT RETRACTED POSITION.
2.3 Positioning the ladder:
- Always place the ladder with the unlocking mechanisms on the side
of the ladder towards you.
