HSS Hire 86990 Operating And Safety Manual

When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
FINISHING OFF
Lower the ladder, simply reverse the erection
instructions. Remove the ladder stay and give the
equipment a final clean ready for return to your
local HSS Hire Shop.
Ladder Safety
Ensure ladders are set at the correct angle. The gap
between the foot of the ladder and the wall should be
one quarter the vertical height the ladder is to reach (plus
the length of the ladder stay being used).
The ladder's maximum safe working load, (the total
weight of the user and tools) must not exceeded.
Never stand on the top 3 rungs, either use
a taller set or use an access tower.
When moving to a new site, carry the
ladders with care.
If using a ladder to gain access, always
extend it at least 1m above the height
at which you step off.
Never rest a ladder against anything
that might not bear the load –
windows, guttering etc.
For maximum safety, rope the top
of the ladder to the structure you
are scaling and the bottom to
stakes driven into the ground (if
this is not possible, you must
have a helper to foot the ladder).
If using the ladder with a roof
ladder, rope the two together.
