Introduction: This user manual describes how to safely use these steps. For your own safety, please read
GB
it carefully before using the steps and keep it safe for future reference. Always include this user manual
when handing the steps over to another person/owner.
1. Intended use: This step is a mobile piece of equipment that can be used in different locations. It is designed for perform-
ing small-scale jobs at height for which other types of equipment would be inappropriate (see the German Ordinance on
Industrial Safety and Health). This step must only be used as described in this user manual. All other uses are
regarded as inappropriate use. We do not accept any liability for damage arising from the inappropriate use of the
steps. These kinds of steps should primarily be used indoors only. Any changes made to the steps without the man-
ufacturer's authorisation will void the warranty and guarantee.
2. Technical information: Description of the steps and component list. The technical information specific to these
steps is affixed to the steps themselves. Please refer to the table for more information.
3. Parts included with the steps: List of all of the components supplied with the steps (example): Steps (entire set of
steps & all associated components) + Assembly Instructions & User Manual + optional handrail (not shown in drawings
- see separate assembly instructions) and mandatory from 750 mm stand height (if upper platform < 240 x 400 mm)
4. Assembly instructions: Depending on the types of steps and how they are delivered, the steps may yet have
to be fully assembled before use. Some steps also come with handrails and/or stabilisers that have to be fitted as
shown below before use. Please refer to the separate assembly instructions for the handrails for information on how
to fit them. Handrails must be fully extended and secured.
5. General safety information: The packaging poses a suffocation risk. Use of these steps is always associated
with a risk of falling off the steps and of the steps tipping over. This can result in injury to persons and damage to
objects. Steps and packaging materials are not toys. All of the work performed with and on the steps must be per-
formed in such a way as to minimise these risks as much as possible. The steps must only be used for minor jobs
and short periods of time. Do not work on the steps for too long without taking regular breaks. Tiredness is a hazard
and can impact on the safe use of the steps. The steps must be suitable for the relevant use and must only be used
in the specified position. Only use the surfaces provided for standing on. Do not change or modify the steps or any
parts on them. Always make sure to have a safe handhold and foothold when working on and climbing the steps.
Always observe the national rules and regulations, in particular if using these steps for professional work. Only use
manufacturer-approved accessories.
6. Assembly / Use: Always observe the instructions provided in the assembly instructions and user manual and on
the steps itself when assembling and using the steps.
Information on the steps' design:
Single or double sided version.
Information on using the steps:
Setting up and positioning the steps safely. Fit the stabilisers (if supplied). Fit the handrail (if supplied).
6.1 General safety information
7. Maintenance / Servicing: The maintenance and servicing work performed on the steps is intended to make sure that
the steps are working properly. The steps must be regularly checked for damage. Make sure all of the steps' moving parts
are in proper working order. All moving parts must be regularly lubricated. Any repairs to the steps must be performed by a
qualified person and in correspondence with the manufacturer's instructions. Always clean the steps, and its moving
parts in particular, immediately after use if they become dirty. Only use conventional, water-soluble cleaning agents.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. If the steps are being used commercially, they must be regu-
larly inspected by an authorised person to make sure that they are in proper working order (visual inspection and
performance test). In this case, it is essential to draw up an inspection schedule that defines the type, scope and
intervals at which the requisite inspections must be performed. The intervals between these inspections have to be
determined in accordance with the relevant operating conditions, in particular the relevant frequency of use, loads
