5. Operating Instructions

1. Placement: Position the ladder on a stable, level, and dry surface. Avoid placing it on uneven ground, loose rugs, or slippery floors.
2. Stability Check: Before climbing, gently push and pull the ladder to ensure it is stable and all four rubber feet are firmly on the ground.
3. Climbing:
   • Face the ladder when ascending or descending.
   • Use the non-slip handgrip for support.
   • Step onto the wide, anti-slip pedals one at a time.
   • Maintain three points of contact at all times.
4. Working from the Ladder:
   • Keep your body centered between the side rails.
   • Do not overreach. If an item is out of reach, descend, reposition the ladder, and then re-ascend.
   • Utilize the tool platform for holding necessary items to minimize trips up and down.
5. Folding the Ladder:
   • Ensure no one is on the ladder and all items are removed from the tool platform.

   • Gently push the front and back sections together until the ladder is fully folded.
   • Store in a dry, safe place.
