Where can I find information on other tread sizes?

Troubleshooting
Ladder feels wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the ladder is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. Check that the H-spreaders are fully extended and locked into position. Inspect for any damage to the rivets or bracing.
H-spreaders are difficult to engage/disengage.
Check for any debris or obstruction preventing the spreaders from moving freely. Gently clean the mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Treads feel slippery.
Ensure treads are clean and free from dirt, grease, or oil. The slip-resistant profile is designed for grip; cleaning will restore its effectiveness. If treads appear excessively worn, inspect for damage.
