Opening the ladder to intermediate length
(Fig. A, B, C)
The telescopic ladder will automatically engage the
locking mechanisms when opening. Each section
has its own locking mechanisms.
• P lace the Telescopic Ladder on a firm, level
surface. Ensure the ladder is in closed position
as shown on figure C1.
• Unlock the Storage strap (4).
• P lace one foot on the Bottom Rung (5) to stabi-
lise the ladder. Ensure that the front side of the
ladder is facing you.
• S tarting with the second rung from the bottom
(as shown in figure C2), use both hands to
grasp the Hand Grips (7) on either side of the
rung and pull upwards to extend the step.
• W hen each step is fully extended, you should
hear a "click", confirming that the Locking
Mechanisms (6) are engaged for that level.
• C heck that all opened rung sections are locked,
the red Locking Mechanisms (6) should be
clearly visible, as shown on figure B1. Meanwhi-
le, the red parts of the Retract Levers (8) should
not be visible. Also ensure that all the distances
between opened rungs are of equal height.
• W hen all sections are locked, you can use
the ladder. Position the ladder with a correct
angle for a leaning ladder (angle of inclination
approximately 1:4) with the rungs or treads
level (e.g. 1m away from the base of a wall if
extending to climb 4m up).
