Troubleshooting

Ensure the H spreader is fully engaged and locked on both sides. Verify the ladder is placed on a level, firm surface and check that all four rubber feet are in contact with the ground.

Tool holder feels loose

Check if the tool holder is properly seated on the top of the ladder. Ensure no debris is obstructing its connection. If damage is suspected, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Treads are slippery

Clean the aluminium treads with a damp cloth to remove dust or residue. Ensure the ladder is not used on wet or oily surfaces.
