Repair and maintenance
Depending on usage frequency and environmental influences, ladders must be serviced
regularly. This involves cleaning, function checks of moving parts and, if necessary, lubri-
cate.
Cleaning
• If visibly dirty, clean the ladders, especially all moving parts, as soon as possible after
use.
• Treat heavy soiling with warm water and commercially available cleaning agents, and
dry down thw ladders with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Do not use cleansers containing solvents. Dispose of used cleaning agents in accor-
dance with the applicable environmental protection regulations.
Maintenance
Maintenance measures may only be carried out by skilled, commissioned and instructed
employees or by other contractors with comparable qualifications who are suitable for
carrying out the maintenance work.
• Make sure that rungs, steps, step pads or platforms are not covered in grease or oil,
or become so. If this does occur, clean the affected areas immediately; e.g. with some
spirit.
• Moving parts- such as hinges, lift locks, spring bolts, etc. - are to be treated with com-
mercially available spray grease (e.g. HHS 2000) if required..
• Oil must not be used for lubrication.
