OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: EXTENDING THE LADDER
1. Release the securing strap.
2. Extend ladder with latches facing user.
3. The ladder extends and locks in 1 ft (30 cm) increments.
4. Place ladder on firm and level surface.
5. Place your foot on the bottom rung to hold ladder in place.
6. With both hands, pull up on the couplings of the 3rd rung from the bottom.
7. Make sure that each rung is pulled up to its full extension and locks before attempting
to extend the next rung.
8. Extend desired number of rungs to achieve required height.
9. When the ladder is fully extended, do not stand or step on last top three rung
of the ladder.
TIP: To extend the ladder to its fullest height, pull-up on the top rung first, raising the rung to its full
extension, making sure it locks in place. Then continue with each remaining rung. Again making
sure that each rung locks in place before extending the next rung.
STEP 2: CLOSING THE LADDER
GREAT CARE SHOULD BE USED WHEN CLOSING LADDER. Do not place any part of your body
including hands, fingers or thumbs on, or between rungs or couplings above the closing rung.
1. The ladder closes and locks in 1 ft (30 cm) increments.
2. Grasp the ladder by the couplings below the rung that you are activating the latches.
3. Place thumbs on latches that you wish to disengage.
4. Place the rest of your hand below the coupling.
5. Simultaneously, push latches inward (towards each other) until the above
rung is lowered.
6. Repeat this operation with each rung.
7. The 4 lower latches are twisting latches and need to be pushed
upwards to disengage the lock.
8. It is easier to close the ladder when operating the twist latches
one at a time in the order shown in the illustration.
STEP 3: CARRYING THE LADDER
Replace the "securing strap". Grab the ladder by the grip handle
located underneath the 2nd rung. Do not lift the ladder by the rungs.
It may open and cause injury to the user and damage the ladder as well.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety instructions before using the ladder.
When extending the ladder, make sure that the ladder is securely standing
on level, solid, slip free surface.
Improper hand or finger position may cause injury.
Lean ladder only with the top end of rungs against a firm structure, never against
the stiles. Doing this may cause stile damage and void the warranty.
Do not attempt to extend the ladder while climbing or standing on the ladder.
