Q Assembling the multipurpose scaffold / ladder
note: If possible have a second person help you with the assembly.
1. Mount the short base stabiliser 4 to the narrow ladder section 2 and
the long base stabiliser 1 to the wide ladder section 3 , as shown in
Figure A.
2. Attach the working platform 5 to the rung at the desired height on both
ladder sections 2 and 3 (Figure B).
note: Ensure that the maximum standing height of 100 cm is not
exceeded (Figure F).
3. Insert the plastic sleeve 16 to the narrow ladder section 2 and the wide
narrow section 3 .
4. Insert the short threaded rod 11 each with a plain washer 15 to the
narrow ladder section 2 and the long threaded rod 12 each with a
plain washer 15 to the wide ladder section 3 .
5. Connect the diagonal struts 6 with the slotted bolt 8 and the locknut 13 .
6. Attach the diagonal struts 6 to the ladder sections 2 and 3 using the
wing nuts 7 .
Q Disassembling the multipurpose scaffold / ladder
j Disassemble the multipurpose scaffold / ladder in the reverse order to that
described in the section “Assembling the multipurpose scaffold / ladder”.
Q Assembling the standing ladder
J Avoid any tasks in which a lateral load is placed on the standing ladder,
e.g. drilling sideways into solid material (e.g. masonry or concrete).
J Do not use the standing ladder as a means of ascending on to another
level.
1. Mount the short base stabiliser 4 to the narrow ladder section 2 and
the long base stabiliser 1 to the wide ladder section 3 , as shown in
Figure A.
2. Push the narrow ladder section 2 as far into the guide angle of the
wide ladder section 3 as possible until the guide pins on both sides
engage in the guide groove (Figure G).
3. Guide the threaded end piece of the safety stay 18 through the hole
on the narrow ladder section 2 .
4. Fix the safety stay 18 in place by screwing the plastic nut 17 tightly
from the inner face of the stile on to the threaded end piece of the
safety stay
18 (Figure H).
Q Disassembling the standing ladder
j Disassemble the standing ladder in the reverse order to that described in
the section “Assembling the standing ladder”.
Q Assembling the leaning ladder
J Avoid any tasks in which a lateral load is placed on the leaning ladder,
e.g. drilling sideways into solid material (e.g. masonry or concrete).
1. Attach the long base stabiliser 1 to the wide ladder section 3 , as
shown in Figure J.
2. Push the narrow ladder section 2 as far into the guide angle of the
wide ladder section 3 as possible until the locking hooks on the narrow
ladder section 2 can fit over the second rung of the wide ladder
section 3 (Figure L).
3. Hold the leaning ladder in a vertical position in front of the wall or the
object against which the leaning ladder is to be used. Disengage the
locking hooks and slide the narrow ladder section
2 as far upwards as
necessary until it reaches the desired climbing height (Figure M).
4. At that point fit the locking hooks over the rung of the wide ladder
section 3 . Place the leaning ladder carefully against the wall or the
object (Figure N).
Q Disassembling the leaning ladder
j Disassemble the leaning ladder in the reverse order to that described in
the section “Assembling the leaning ladder”.
