1. General
The collapsible telescopic ladder can assume any size: from small (Fig. 1) to each intermediate size (Fig.
2) to the full length (Fig. 3).
The collapsible telescopic ladder must only be used according to the following instructions.
2. Locking mechanism
The collapsible ladder locks each rung with two steel locking pins which are locked in place automatic-
ally when the ladder is extended. Each locking pin is connected to a safety lever (Fig. 4) which has two
functions:
1) The extended telescopic ladder is securely locked when both the safety levers are securely locked
in place left and right of the rungs (Fig. 5).
2) When the telescopic ladder is to be collapsed back down, push the locking lever toward the middle
of the rungs (Fig. 4).
3. Extending the telescopic ladder to its full length
1) To fully extend the telescopic ladder (full length) ensure that the ladder is on a flat surface. When ex-
tending the telescopic ladder, stabilize it by placing a foot on the bottom rung. (Fig. 6)
2) Always pull with both hands on the ladder section if you want to extend the ladder. Start at the top-
most element and then go on to the next-lower. If you have extended a ladder section make sure each
time that the lock pins are correctly locked in place (Fig. 5).
3) Proceed in the same way with all other sections until the ladder is fully extended.
4. djusting intermediate lengths
To extend the telescopic ladder to any length, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure the ladder is set up on a flat surface. When extending the telescopic ladder, stabilize it by
placing a foot on the bottom rung (Fig. 6).
2) To not completely extend the ladder always leave a group of ladder sections put together. It must al-
ways be the topmost sections which are not extended. (Fig. 9). The remaining sections are then pulled
apart again with both hands. Always pull with both hands on the ladder section if you want to extend
the ladder. Start at the topmost element and then go on to the next-lower. If you have extended a ladder
section make sure each time that the lock pins are correctly locked in place (Fig. 5).
3) Proceed in the same way with all other sections until the ladder is fully extended. All remaining secti-
ons in the middle of the ladder must be extended (Fig. 9).
ttention! Check carefully whether each safety pin is correctly locked in place.
5. Collapsing the telescopic ladder
To collapse the telescopic ladder, proceed as follows:
1) Adjust the ladder so it is upright and press the safety lever to the middle of the rungs (Fig. 10).
2) Start at the bottom and push together one section after another.
ttention! When collapsing the telescopic ladder make sure that your hands are not on or between the
rungs – there is a risk of crushing.
6. Changing the length of an already extended telescopic ladder
If you want to change the length of an already open ladder, first slide it completely together (see Col-
lapsing the ladder). Extend the ladder to the desired length (see Adjusting intermediate lengths).
