Thank you for purchasing our product.

Before using a folding ladder, please read this manual in order to avoid improper handling of
the ladder.

Its unique construction was initially designed for the German market but it is now finally available
also in other countries.

This high-end model was initially developed for professional use and has a very sturdy con­struction. Use of light aluminium materials lowers the total weight and the unique construction
allows for contracting of this ladder to a very small and easily transportable and storable size.
These features make the ladder perfect not only for professional use, but also for use in your
household, workroom or in garden. Especially the telescopic feature which allows minimizing
of the necessary storage space will be appreciated by many who deal with lack of space in their
homes and workrooms or have to deal with frequent transportation of the ladder.

All construction elements, rungs and security locks are manufactured with ergonomic principles
in mind and support simple and intuitive use of the product. We believe that all its features will
make your use of the product a pleasant experience for you.

Use of the ladder was approved by prestigious international test-room SGS according to EN
131 part1 and part 2.

achieve safe use of the ladder.
