4.1 Safety instructions
for assembly
4.1.1 General safety instructions for assembly
• The order for assembly as shown in the illustrations must be observed.
• We recommend that personnel work in pairs to assemble the equipment.
• Before setting up the ladders, check that they are free of soiling (e.g. oil residue,
dirt, snow).
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible load of 150 kg.
• The surface on which the equipment is assembled and used must be level, immobile,
non-slip and of sufficient load-bearing capacity. If necessary, insert load-distributing
pads under the unit.
• On uneven surfaces, use the ZARGES LCS ladder adapter.
• Ensure that the pole access ladder is set up vertically.
• The top end of the ladder must not protrude beyond the end of the pole.

5.1.1 General safety instructions on use
• Before using the product, check the following:
> Have all parts included in the scope of delivery been fitted?
> Is the pole access ladder standing in vertical position (at 90° to the horizontal
plane) on an even and immobile surface of sufficient load-bearing capacity?
> If the subsurface is uneven: Has the ZARGES LCS ladder adapter been used?
> Is the product in perfect condition?
> Are all ladder elements firmly attached to the pole?
> Is the ZAST-OPTIFLEX-R4 safety slide mechanism fitted and fully functional?
(For details of testing, see the operating instructions for the ZAST-OPTIFLEX-R4.)
• Do not use the pole access ladder unless all these questions can be answered
with "yes.“
