Cleaning
The ladder should be cleaned immediately after use if it is vis-
ibly soiled. This applies especially to all its moving parts.
The product can be cleaned using water and a little conven-
tional cleaning agent.
Cleaning agents must not be allowed to seep into the soil.
• Dispose of used cleaning solutions in accordance with the
relevant environmental regulations.
Lubricating moving parts
• Lubricate all moving parts with conventional lubricating oil.
Select a thin-bodied oil when using the product in winter.
• Dispose of oil-soaked cleaning rags according to the rel-
evant environmental regulations.
WARNING
Slippery surfaces present a risk of falling!
Lubricating oil and liquids on standing surfaces can cause
personnel to fall and injure themselves.
• Wipe off excess oil.
• Clean off any soiling (e.g. wet paint, snow).

7.1 Commercial use

In commercial use, it is necessary to have the ladder periodi-
cally inspected by a competent person to ensure it is in good
working order (visual inspection and functional check).
It is crucial to define the type, scope and schedule of the nec-
essary inspections. The intervals between inspections depend
on the operating conditions, especially the frequency of use,
the stress the ladder is subject to during use, and the frequen-
cy and severity of previously found defects.
The user must ensure that defective ladders are removed from
use and stored in such a way that makes it impossible for
them to be used until they are properly repaired or disposed of.
The complete inspection sheet can be downloaded from the
manufacturer's website.

7.2 Periodic inspections

The ladder must be regularly inspected for operational safety
by a competent person. The competent person is to be author-
ised by the user to perform the required inspection and shall
take part in seminars required by law of the country in ques-
tion.
• The inspection intervals must be appropriate for the specific
operating conditions.
• The inspection must be carried out at least once a year.
• The inspection must be documented. Check sheets for
inspection of the ladder are available on the ZARGES
homepage.
