Safety Precautions

Read and understand the user manual
before using the telescopic ladder. Keep
this manual in a safe place and pass it
on if you pass on the telescopic ladder.
Do not use the telescopic ladder under the
influence of pharmaceuticals, drugs, alcohol, etc.
or if you feel unwell. Only use the telescopic
ladder for easy jobs and for a short period of time.
Do not spend long periods without regular breaks
on the telescopic ladder. Fatigue and loss of
balance are accident hazards.
Check before and after every use the
proper functioning and state of all
components of the telescopic ladder.
Never use the telescopic ladder if it is damaged.
Ensure safe use.
Ensure that children cannot play on the telescopic
ladder.
Keep the telescopic ladder away from children
and supervised persons.
Remove dirt on the telescopic ladder,
such as wet paint, oil or snow before
use. Do not use the telescopic ladder
on slippery ground, such as ice, wet
floor, shiny or dirty surfaces, soft or
sloping ground, etc. Always take
additional safety measures to prevent slipping
and to ensure stability. Avoid using the telescopic
ladder in the rain, because dirt and water in the
tubing of the ladder stringers can lead to
malfunctions. Do not use the telescopic ladder in
bad weather, e.g. strong wind. Place the
telescopic ladder on a stable, level and
immovable surface.
Do not lean the telescopic ladder
against an unstable surface.
Always lean the telescopic
ladder against a level and solid surface to ensure
the stability of the telescopic ladder. Take
additional safety measures, if necessary.
Always hold tight and ensure safe
footing when climbing up or down the
telescopic ladder. Watch the telescopic
ladder when climbing up or down. Never climb up
or down with the back against the telescopic
ladder, always face the ladder.

The telescopic ladder is only to
be used by one person at a time.
When working on the telescopic
ladder, hold on to it with one hand or lean against
it, if possible. Take additional safety measures if
this is not possible.
Place the telescopic ladder only on its feet and
not on the rungs. Do not use the telescopic ladder
upside down.
When putting up the telescopic ladder ensure that
pedestrians, vehicles, etc. cannot collide with the
telescopic ladder. Ensue that no doors or
windows are in the working area, which can
unexpectedly be opened. Close all doors and
windows within the working area, except the
emergency exits, if possible.
Never exceed the permissible load
capacity of the telescopic ladder. The
telescopic ladder has a permissible load
capacity of max. 150 kg.
Always stand with both feet on one rung.
Put up the telescopic ladder in an
inclination angle of 1:4, which
corresponds to a support angle on the
ground of approx. 75 degrees.
Wear sturdy shoes to prevent slipping, stumbling,
etc.
Do not change the position of the telescopic
ladder while you are standing on it.
Do not use the telescopic ladder carelessly (e.g.
climbing two rungs at a time, sliding down the
ladder stringers, jumping off the ladder, etc.)
Ensure that the plastic end caps are always
attached to the telescopic ladder. Do not use the
ladder without plastic end caps. They prevent dirt,
dust, etc. from entering the telescopic tubing and
causing damages.
Do not use the top three rungs to climb or to
stand on.
Avoid impacts, since damages can affect the
sliding mechanism.
Do not use the telescopic ladder
horizontally, for instance to bridge
precipices or as a storage shelf, saw
horse, etc.
