Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable on the floor
Verify that the floor surface is level and ensure all four feet are making full contact with the ground.
Difficulty opening or closing the platform
Check for debris or paint build-up in the hinge mechanism and clear it out; ensure no cables are snagged in the folding frame.
Visible scuffs or light damage to the rails
Inspect the rails to ensure they are not structurally compromised; the EDGE bracing is designed to minimize damage, but if the material is cracked, the ladder must be retired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always inspect the ladder for any structural damage to the rails or steps before each use. Set the ladder up on a level, clean, and stable surface. When using the ladder, ensure the platform is fully engaged and the locking mechanisms are secure.
Cleaning is simple: wipe down the stiles and treads with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove grit, paint, or grease. Store the ladder in a clean, dry location protected from weather and environmental elements to maintain the integrity of the non-conductive materials. Avoid dropping or dragging the ladder, as this can weaken the structure even with the EDGE bracing protection.
