Setup Guide

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ladder from its packaging.

3. Tool Tray Attachment (Optional): If desired, attach the tool tray to the designated slots on the top step. Ensure it is firmly seated.

Operating Instructions

1. Placement: Position the ladder on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface. Ensure there are no obstructions around the base or top.
2. Ascending: Face the ladder and use the handrail for support. Step onto the pedals one at a time, ensuring your feet are centered and fully on the anti-slip surface.
3. Working: Maintain three points of contact (two feet and one hand, or two hands and one foot) whenever possible. Do not overreach; reposition the ladder as needed.
4. Descending: Face the ladder and descend carefully, using the handrail for support.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the ladder with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, rivets, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Ensure rubber feet are intact and not worn.
• Storage: After use, fold the ladder and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Its compact design allows for storage in narrow spaces.

Troubleshooting

Ladder feels wobbly:

• Ensure the ladder is fully unfolded and locked.
• Check that all four rubber feet are firmly on a flat, level surface. Adjust placement if necessary.
• Inspect rubber feet for wear or damage; replace if needed.

Difficulty folding/unfolding:

• Ensure no debris is obstructing the hinges or locking mechanisms.
• Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts if stiffness persists.
