Introduction
This User Manual contains important safety information regarding the use of this multi-purpose/combination ladder, which is suitable for use as a stepladder and leaning ladder. Please read this manual carefully before using the ladder and keep it safe for future reference. Always include this user and operating guide when handing the ladder over to a new owner.
Intended use:
This ladder is a mobile piece of equipment that can be used in different locations. It is designed for performing small-scale jobs at heights that would make the use of other types of equipment inappropriate (see the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health). This ladder 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 ladder. Any changes made to the ladder without the manufacturer‘s authorization will void the warranty.

Scope of delivery:
List of all of the components that are supplied with the ladder (example): Ladder components (all) + User Manual + Stabiliser + Trigon stabilizer (where required) + Nuts & Bolts
Assembly instructions:
Depending on the ladder type and delivery condition, the ladder may yet have to be fully assembled before use. Description/illustration of the assembly work required before the ladder can be used. Example: Fitting the diagonal and Trigon stabilizer.
General safety information:
The packaging can pose a suffocation hazard. Ladders and packa-ging materials are not toys. Use of this ladder is always associated with a risk of falling off the ladder and of the ladder tipping over. This can result in injury to persons and damage to objects. All of the work performed with and on the ladder must be performed in such a way as to minimize these risks as much as possible. This ladder is only designed for light work and short periods of use. Do not work on the ladder for too long without taking regular breaks. Fatigue is a hazard and can impact on the safe use of the ladder. The ladder must be suitable for its relevant use and must only be used in the specified position. Only ever use the treads provided. The ladder and ladder components must not be modified. Always make sure to have a safe handhold and foothold when working on and climbing the ladder. Always observe the national rules and regulations, in particular, if using this ladder for profes-sional work. Only use manufacturer-approved accessories.
Assembly/Use
The 3-section multi-purpose ladders consist of a double-sided 2-section stepladder and a leaning ladder. The stepladder can be turned into a leaning ladder (extension ladder). If it has the necessary technical features, the leaning ladder can be used as a stand-alone ladder or as an extension of the stepladder. The 2-section multi-purpose ladders consist of a double-sided 2-section stepladder. The stepladder can be turned into a leaning ladder (extension ladder).

Using the ladder as a multi-purpose ladder
- If the multi-purpose ladder is used as a stepladder together with the extension ladder, the ladder and manufacturer‘s specifications on setting up the ladder must be observed
- If the multi-purpose ladder can be adjusted for use on stairs, the ladder and manufacturer‘s specifications on setting up the ladder must be observed!
- Spreader braces and locking devices, where fitted, must always be fully locked before use.
- Never stand on the top 4 steps/rungs of a stepladder that has been extended with an extension ladder section.

Maintenance/Servicing
The maintenance and servicing work performed on the ladder is intended to make sure that the ladder is working properly. The ladder must be regularly checked for damage. Make sure all of the ladder‘s moving parts are in proper working order. All moving parts must be regularly lubricated. Any repairs to the ladder must be performed by a qualified person and in correspondence with the manufacturer‘s instructions. Always clean the ladder and the moving parts in particular immediately after use if the ladder becomes dirty. Only use conventional, water-soluble cleaning agents. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. If the ladder is being used commercially, it must be regularly inspected by an authorized person to make sure that it is 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 required inspections are 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 applied to the ladder during use and the frequency and severity of any defects identified during previous inspections. The owner is also responsible for removing defective ladders from use and storing them in such a way as to prevent their use until they have been properly repaired or disposed of.
