Before first use of your step ladder

Before climbing, check the step ladder and its setup.

1. Inspect: check the rails, steps and rivets. Do not use a cracked or deformed step ladder.
2. Choose the ground: set the step ladder on a stable, level, non-slip surface.
3. Deploy the braces: open the step ladder fully and make sure the spreader braces are firmly in place.
4. Respect the load: the capacity is 300 lb (136 kg), tools included. Do not climb above the highest step.

Regular maintenance

A well-maintained step ladder stays safe from one jobsite to the next.

After each use:

• Remove dust, mud and paint from the steps.
• Inspect the rails, rivets and steps.
• Check the condition of the rubber feet.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the step ladder without harsh products.

1. Washing: use warm water and mild soap.
2. Rinsing and drying: rinse, then dry with a cloth before storing the step ladder.
3. Surface: do not paint the step ladder, as paint can hide cracks.

Safety precautions

For your safety:

• Keep three points of contact: two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand, at all times.
• Do not overreach: move the step ladder instead of stretching to the side.
• Stay away from live equipment: even with non-conductive fiberglass, keep your distance from live lines and devices.
• One user only: do not climb on the step ladder with two people.

Storage tips

Short-term storage:

• Close the step ladder and store it out of the rain.

Long-term storage:

• Store it clean and dry, away from moisture.
• Keep it away from heat sources.

Winter storage in Canada:

• Do not leave the step ladder under snow or ice. Dry it before storing it.
