1. 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 the height of the platform for which other types of equipment would be inappropriate
(see the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health). The mobile platform 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.

2. Technical information: Description of the mobile platform ladder and component list. The technical information
specific to this ladder is affixed to the ladder itself. Please refer to the table for more information.

3. Scope of delivery: List of all of the components that are supplied with the ladder (example): Mobile platform
ladder (entire ladder) + User Manual + optional rail (see separate assembly instructions)

4. Assembly instructions: Depending on the ladder type and delivery condition, the ladder may yet have to be fully
assembled before use. Some mobile platform ladders come with handrails that have to be fitted before use. Please
refer to the separate assembly instructions for stabilizers and handrails.

5. General safety information: The packaging can pose a suffocation hazard. Ladders and packaging 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 professional work. Only use manufacturer-approved
accessories.

6. Assembly / Use: Always observe the instructions provided in the user and operating guide and on the ladder itself
when assembling and using the ladder.

Information on the ladder‘s design: Single or double sided versions. With platform suitable for use as a working
platform.

Information on using the mobile platform ladder: Setting up and positioning the mobile platform ladder safely. Use
the locking device / spreader brace (if supplied). Fit the handrail (if supplied). Information on transporting/moving the
ladder.

6.1 General safety information

6.2. Using the ladder as a platform ladder

7. 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 requisite 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.
