- WARNING! DO NOT use the ladder on sloping ground. When viewed from the front, the top of the ladder section(s) must always be directly above the base.
- For stability, place the ladder so that it is at an angle of 65° to 75° to the ground, the foot of the ladder should be 1 meter from the wall for every 3 meters of elevation.
- Where possible, attach top of ladder to a fixture to prevent slipping.

- DO NOT exceed the rated capacities of the ladder.
- DO NOT climb higher than the second rung from the top of the ladder.
- DO NOT use the ladder when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication. Take care when making adjustments to the ladder, ensuring that hands are kept clear of the rungs and hinges when adjusting it.
- Wear slip resistant footwear, and ensure that the footwear’s’ soles and the rungs of the ladder are free of oil or similar substances. Hold on to the ladder at all times when climbing.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNING! Ensure all hinges and locks are fully engaged into their locking positions before using the ladder.
Straight / Extension Ladder.
IMPORTANT! Always position the ladder at an angle of between 65° and 75° to the ground (see safety instructions above).
- Fold out the two sections of the ladder until the sprung hinge locks lock into their first position (step ladder), push in the two hinge locks (Fig.1) and carry on folding out the two sections of the ladder until it is aligned straight and ensure the hinge locks lock out into their second position.
- To extend the ladder, pull the spring loaded locking arms outward (Fig.2) and adjust the ladder length as required. Ensure the locking arms lock into position. Carefully manouvre the ladder into place, ensuring the correct angle and positioning for maximum stability.
Step Ladder.
- Fold out the two sections of the ladder until the sprung hinge locks lock into their first position (the two sections are approx. 45° apart).
- If required, extend one side of the ladder at a time by pulling the spring loaded locking arms outward (Fig.2) and adjust the ladder length as required. Ensure the locking arms lock into position and that both sides are extended equally.
Offset Ladder.
- Set up the ladder as a step ladder first, but then extend one side of the ladder by one or two rungs more than the other side, depending on the height of the steps that the ladder will be placed on.
- The shorter side of the ladder MUST always be placed on the step, and the longer side placed on the ground.
