Collapsing and extending a telescopic ladder
Important!
Follow the instruction below closely when collapsing and extending a telescopic ladder. This will help
prevent fingers becoming caught between the rungs and the uneven spaces in between!
Extending a telescopic ladder to its full height
Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and stable surface.
1.
When extending a telescopic ladder, start with the uppermost rung and extend this until the rung locks
2.
into place. Check this by pressing the uppermost rung downwards on both sides. Also check the position
of the catches (see fig. 13A). Also ensure that all of the spaces between the rungs are equal. Repeat this with
the subsequent rungs until you have extended the telescopic ladder to its maximum height.
Extending a telescopic ladder to an intermediate length
Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and stable surface.
1.
When extending a telescopic ladder, start with one rung after the lowest rung and extend until the rung
2.
locks into place. Check this by pressing the uppermost rung downwards on both sides. Also check the
position of the catches (see fig. 13A). Repeat this with the subsequent rungs until you have reached the
required height. Ensure that all of the spaces between the rungs are equal.
The remaining rungs on a partially extended ladder will have stacked on top of one another at the top of

the ladder (fig. 13B).
Collapsing a telescopic ladder
Place the telescopic ladder upright on a clean and stable surface.
1.
When collapsing a telescopic ladder start with one rung after the lowest rung.
2.
Keep the ladder in a steady upright position with one hand on the ladder boom, preferably 2 rungs

higher.
With the other hand, slide the two catches towards one another, using the thumb and first finger, and guide
4.
the rung down gently using the other hand (figure 13C).
You collapse the subsequent rungs in a similar way, finally ending up with a ladder that has been fully

collapsed.
Prevent a situation where you have a half step at all times; this may occur if you collapse higher rungs.
6.
Relax. It's an Altrex. 5 5
