Checklist inspection and checks before use
Items to be inspected
For regular inspection, the following items shall be taken into account:
- check that the stiles/legs (uprights) are not bent, bowed, twisted, dented, cracked, corroded or rotten;
- check that the stiles/legs around the fixing points for other components are in good condition;
- check that fixings (usually rivets, screws or bolts) are not missing, loose, or corroded;
- check that rungs/steps are not missing, loose, excessively worn, corroded or damaged;
- check that the hinges between front and rear sections are not damaged, loose or corroded;
- check that the locking stays horizontal, back rails and corner braces are not missing, bent, loose, corroded or damaged;
- check that the rung hooks are not missing, damaged, loose or corroded and engage properly on the; rungs;
- check that guide brackets are not missing, damaged, loose or corroded and engage properly on the mating stile;
- check that ladder feet / end caps are not missing, loose, excessively worn, corroded or damaged;
- check that the entire ladder is free from contaminants (e.g. dirt, mud, paint, oil or grease);
- check that locking catches (if fitted) are not damaged or corroded and function correctly;
- check that the platform (if fitted) has no missing parts or fixings and is not damaged or corroded.
If any of the above checks cannot be fully satisfied, you should NOT use the ladder.
Additional safety instructions when using stepladders/ladders
- Never wear baggy clothing or jewellery. These could become caught when ascending or descending the stepladder or
ladder which could lead to a fall.
- Frequently check that the feet are not worn. Worn feet may damage the support surface, or can result in the stepladder
or ladder slipping.
- In the interest of personal safety, only use accessories or aids that have been recommended by Altrex.
- Do not leave any tools or other equipment at the bottom of the stepladder or ladder which you might trip over.
- Should a stepladder or ladder weigh more than 25 kg, this should be lifted by two people.

Repair and maintenance

Repairs and maintenance shall be carried out periodically by a competent person and be in accordance with Altrex 's
instructions.
NOTE A competent person is someone who has the skills to carry out repairs or maintenance, e.g. by a training by Altrex.
- For repair and replacement of parts, e.g. feet, if necessary contact Altrex or distributor.
Replacement parts supplied by Altrex must be assembled on the correct Altrex product and in the same way as the part
that is replaced. Assembly (attachment) and/or repair is effectuated at the own risk and expense of the client. Altrex is not
liable for damage caused by incorrect assembly and/or repair. Against payment, Altrex can be called in for the repair of your
product, and/or the assembly of the parts in question.
Storage
- Ladders should be stored in accordance with the instructions of Altrex.
- Ladders made of or using thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic and reinforced plastic materials should be stored out of
direct sunlight.
- Ladders made of wood should be stored in a dry place and shall not be coated with opaque and vapourtight paints.
The important considerations when storing a ladder (not in use) should include the following:
- Is the ladder stored away from areas where its condition could deteriorate more rapidly (e.g. dampness, excessive heat,
or exposed to the elements)?
- Is the ladder stored in a position which helps it to remain straight (e.g. hung by the stiles on proper ladder brackets or
laid on a flat clutter free surface)?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot be damaged by vehicles, heavy objects, or contaminants?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot cause a trip hazard or an obstruction?
- Is the ladder stored securely where it cannot be easily used for criminal purposes?
- If the ladder is permanently positioned (e.g. on scaffolding), is it secured against unauthorized climbing (e.g. by children)?
