Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable
Ensure the ladder is fully opened and on a level, firm surface. Check that all legs are securely on the ground and inspect for any damage to the stiles or back legs.
Treads feel loose
As the design is repairable, check if the bolts securing the treads are tightened. If damage is evident, contact the manufacturer for repair guidance or replacement parts.
Magnetic tool tray not holding tools
Ensure the tray surface and the tools are clean and dry. For heavier tools, consider using the provided straps or placing them directly on the platform for maximum security.
Difficulty opening or closing the ladder
Check for any obstructions or debris around the hinges or leg mechanisms. Gently try to free any stuck parts. Do not force the ladder.
