B&Q has identified the omission of an important section of the assembly instructions for this ladder relating to the blue locking bars and the bottom stabiliser bar (summarised in the illustrations on the right).
- 1. ensure the bottom stabiliser bar is fitted correctly before any use
- 2. A: when used in 'A-frame' mode: ensure top rung is located fully into the top brackets; B: when used in 'Stairway' mode: ensure the desired rung is located fully into the top brackets
- 3. open the ladder to ensure that the two sections are spread fully
- 4. insert the blue locking bars into the corresponding holes and tighten as detailed in the revised manual available from the website below
Failure to follow this set up could result in collapse of the ladder and possible serious injury.
If your ladder does not have the blue locking bars or the bottom stabiliser bar, do not use it.
Please call our helpline to order the replacement parts.
