Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable when open.

Treads are slippery.
Clean the treads with a damp cloth to remove any dust, grease, or residue. Ensure the anti-slip tape or surface is intact. For extremely slippery conditions, consider using the ladder on a different, more stable surface.
Tool tray is difficult to use or clean.
Ensure the ladder is fully open and stable before loading the tray. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid overloading the tray, as this may cause it to sag or become unbalanced.
