Handling The Product - TUBESCA-COMABI X-Tenso Instrucciones De Utilizacion

- Check that none of the rung hooks are missing from the rungs.
- Check that none of the guide supports are missing or damaged and
that they are all properly engaged depending on the coupling with
the uprights.
- Check that none of the ladder feet pads are missing or excessively
worn.
If any of the above checks are not entirely satisfactory, DO NOT USE
THE LADDER.
2.2 Handling the product:
2.2.a Opening the ladder (to an intermediate length).
1) Unhook the strap that holds the ladder in its "storage position".
2) Put the ladder on a flat, firm surface. Then, if your model is over 3m
high
(Figure A) open its base outwards until you can see the green dot on
the base (Diagram 5).
3) Put your foot on the bottom step to hold the ladder in position.
4) Use both hands to grip the step that corresponds to the height you
require
(Figure A) and lift it upwards until the locking pins spring into
position (Diagram 2).
5) The ladder can only be extended if each step is correctly locked in
position.
a. When the step locks into position, a green mark will appear in the
locking indicator window (Diagram 2) on either side of the step.
b. You will also hear a "click" when the locking pins spring into
position.
c. Continue extending the ladder by the number of steps you require for
reaching the height needed, checking that each step has been fully
opened and is locked in position before lifting the following step.
d. Never use the top three steps (Figure 2) for standing and make
sure that the ladder is at least one metre higher than the step you
need for standing (Figure 3).
e. NOTE: When you have extended the ladder to the height you
require, the locking indicator on the top step opened (before any
set of closed steps) is both red and green (Diagram 4). This is
normal. You will also hear a "click" when the steel locking pins
spring into position. The indicator is green for all the other steps
locked in position.
2.2.b Opening the ladder (to full height):
1) Unhook the strap that holds the ladder in its "storage position".
2) Put the ladder on a flat, firm surface. Then, if your model is over 3m
high (Figure 4) open its base outwards until you can see the green
dot on the base.
3) Put your foot on the bottom step to hold the ladder in position.
4) Grip the top step of the ladder with both hands and lift it up (Figures
3 & 4).
5) Continue extending the ladder by successively lifting each step to its
full height.
a. When the ladder is fully extended, and each step is locked in
position a green mark will appear in the locking indicator window
(Diagram 2) on either side of each step.
