also the Instructions Manual.
Caution! The numbers such as T1.1. etc. denote explanations of pictograms present on the ladder and in the Instructions Manual,
as well as warnings without graphic representation. The numbering is consistent with EN 131-3:2018, where T1.1. stands for Table
1, point 1 of this standard.
