7. Repair, maintenance and storage

Do not change the ladder design. Repairs and maintenance should be carried out by a competent person and be in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. For repairing or replacement of parts, for example feet or end caps of the ladder, contact the
manufacturer or the distributor.
For maintenance, it is sufficient after use to ensure that there is not dust or projection of paint on the moving parts of the ladder.
if that is the case, it is recommended to clean the ladder before storage. For cleaning, use ONLY water-soluble detergents (non-
abrasive and non-aggressive) available in commerce.
Always store the ladder fully nested in a dry environment. Wet conditions can have a negative effect on the ladder condition and
operation. The ladder should also be stored away from direct sunlight (plastic parts may be damaged in the long-term).
8. Packaging and recycle
The packaging should be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations and laws. At the end of service ability, the ladder
must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable requirements. Aluminum and steel are high-grade material and should be
put into the recycling system.
