Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I change the ladder's shape? Simply pull the hinge levers to unlock, move the section to the desired angle until it "clicks," and visually verify the locking pin is engaged.

2. Can I use it without the stabilizer bars? No. For your safety and to maintain the 115kg rating, the stabilizer bars must be bolted on before the first use.

3. What is the maximum standing height in scaffold mode? In the horizontal "bridge" position, the standing surface is approximately 0.95m from the ground.
