OPENING THE LADDER INTO A FREESTANDING LADDER
1. Position the ladder upright on a firm surface. Place one foot on the bottom rungs. Begin to
open the ladder from the top by pulling it upwards until the rung section locks and continue
doing so rung by rung until all sections are locked.
2. Check that the red locking device under each rung is visible, which indicates that the section is locked.

CONVERTING TO A LEANING LADDER
The Combi ladder can also be used as a leaning ladder:
3. Position the ladder upright on a level surface. Place one foot on the bottom rungs.
4. First unlock the rear rung sections by pressing in the two bottom locking catches, on the rear
part of the ladder, one at a time.
5. Lean the Combi ladder forwards. Slide together the lower two rear rung sections and secure
the belt around both rungs so they are held together.
6. Check that the red locking device, on the front part of the ladder, under each rung is visible,
which indicates that the section is locked.
7. Use the Combi ladder as a leaning ladder with the rear folded ladder side hanging free.
Position the ladder in an angle of 65-75 degrees for optimal safety.
