Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable
Ensure the ladder is fully opened on a level surface. Check that all braces and straps are secure and undamaged. Verify that the maximum load capacity of 150kg is not exceeded.
Treads are slippery
Clean the treads with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the rubber anti-slip features are intact. If treads are worn, consider replacement as part of the 4.0 repairable design.
Magnetic tool tray not holding tools
Ensure the tray is clean and free from debris. Check for any damage to the magnetic surface. For very heavy tools, ensure they are placed centrally and consider using secondary support if needed.
Bolts feel loose
As part of the repairable design, gently tighten any loose bolts using an appropriate tool. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the aluminium.
