Using The Ladder - Vevor A7 Bedienungsanleitung

accident caused by falling or bumping the ladder;
• Before using a ladder after placing it for a long time, check whether the ladder
is loose to prevent personal injury or accidents;
• Before installing the ladder, ensure that the mounting plate is solid and ready
for use;
• To avoid personal injury, do not install a ladder if the mounting plate is rotten;
• When the installation support increases the height, adjust the site, and put the
stairs to use when the ground is flat.
Positioning and Erecting the Ladder
• Ladder shall be erected at the correct position, such as the correct angle for a
leaning ladder;
• Ladder shall be on an even, level and unmoveable base;
• Leaning ladder should lean against a flat nonfragile surface and should be
secured before use, e.g. tied or use of a suitable stability device;
• Ladder shall never be repositioned from above;
• When positioning the ladder take into account risk of collision with the ladder
e.g. from pedestrians, vehicles or doors. Secure doors (not fire exits) and windows
where possible in the work area;
• Identify any electrical risks in the work area, such as overhead lines or other
exposed electrical equipment;
• Ladder shall be stood on its feet, not the rungs or steps;
• Ladders shall not be positioned on slippery surfaces (such as ice, shiny
surfaces or significantly contaminated solid surfaces) unless additional effective
measures are taken to prevent the ladder slipping or ensuring contaminated
surfaces are sufficiently clean.

Using the Ladder

• Do not exceed the maximum total load for the type of ladder;
• Do not overreach; user should keep their belt buckle (navel) inside the stiles
and both feet on the same step/rung throughout the task;
• Do not step off a leaning ladder at a higher level without additional security,
such as tying off or use of a suitable stability device;
