Troubleshooting

Ladder sections are difficult to extend or retract.

Ensure the telescopic sections are clean and free of debris. Gently wipe down the inner and outer tubes. If stiffness persists, check for any bent sections or obstructions. Do not force the mechanism.

Ladder feels unstable during use.

Verify that the ladder is placed on a firm, level surface. Ensure the stabiliser bar is correctly installed and both feet have full contact with the ground. Check that all locking mechanisms have fully engaged.

Locking pins do not seem to engage properly.

Ensure the ladder is fully extended to its designated stopping points for each section. Gently push down on each rung to confirm the locks have clicked into place. Clean around the locking mechanism if debris is suspected.

Ladder won't stay at a specific height.

Confirm that the locking mechanisms for each section have securely engaged. Ensure no dirt or obstructions are preventing the locks from functioning correctly. Avoid placing excessive weight on the ladder before it is fully secured at the desired height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the ladder carefully, ensuring all locking mechanisms engage securely at the desired height.
  2. When extending, ensure each section slides smoothly and locks into place. The ladder is designed to lock automatically. A soft-close mechanism prevents sudden collapse.
  3. Ensure the stabiliser bar is correctly attached and positioned on the ground before climbing.
  4. Place the ladder on a firm, level surface, ensuring the anti-slip feet have good contact with the ground.

This ladder is suitable for use on most flat, stable surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. It is compatible with tasks requiring varying heights and configurations, from low shelving to high exterior cleaning.

Care:

  • Keep the telescopic sections clean and free from dirt, dust, and debris. Wipe down with a damp cloth regularly.
  • Periodically check all locking mechanisms and joints for wear or damage.
  • Store the ladder in a dry place, secured with the provided strap to prevent accidental opening.
  • Avoid exposing the ladder to excessive moisture or corrosive chemicals.
