Use and Care Manual

1. Do not force the hinges in or out using any tools. You may
cause permanent damage to the hinge mechanism.
2. If there is pressure on the hinge lock pins, they may not open
properly. Relieve the pressure by moving one half of the ladder
back and forth until the hinge locks move with minimal force.
3. Make sure each Lock Tab is fully engaged into the appropriate
rung tube before climbing on the ladder. Failure to do so may
result in injury.
4. For your safety, set up your ladder so the rungs are always
level from front to back and from side to side.
5. Keep clothing and body parts out of all moving mechanisms,
including the Hinge Locks and Lock Tabs to avoid pinching.
6. Keep clothing and body parts away from rungs when telescop-
ing the outer ladder over the inner ladder.
7. Use caution when using the ladder around electricity. Ensure
that the ladder does not come in contact with electrical circuits
or currents.
8. The Little Giant Alta-One has a maximum working load of 250
LBS.
9. Do not stand above the third rung from top.
10. Little Giant Ladder Systems assumes no liability for damage
or injury that may result from failing to follow all instructions
correctly.
11. Keep all ladder rungs, ladder feet, work platforms, and other
standing and gripping surfaces clean and free from foreign
materials.
12. Do not lean too far over the side of the ladder and keep both
feet on the rungs at all times; as a rule of thumb, keep your
navel between the rails.
13. Inspect feet for wear; replace them when necessary.
14. Read all labels on the ladder before use.
A-Frame and Staircase Ladder Safety Tips
1. Ensure that the Hinge Locks and Lock Tabs are securely
engaged before climbing your ladder.
2. Make each of your ladder’s four feet are solidly planted before
climbing.
3. When using your ladder on a stair case, ensure that the rungs
are level and that each foot is on a solid, secure surface.
Extension Ladder Safety Tips
1. Do not allow the full weight of the ladder to fall on the hinges as
the ladder folds from the extension to the A-frame position.
2. When releasing the Lock Tabs, make sure you support the
inner ladder assembly with one hand to prevent it from sliding
down rapidly. Failure to do so may result in injury.
3. Use the proper angle for the extension ladder position. The
distance from the base of the ladder to the bottom of the
support wall should be one-fourth the working height of the
extension ladder (minimum distance between ladder and
support wall must be 3 feet).
4. Fully engage the Hinge Locks before use, failure to do so may
result in injury.
5. When using your Alta-One as a tall extension ladder, stake the
feet to the ground and tie down the top for extra security.
Extend the ladder at least 3 feet above a supporting roof or
eve.
Scaffolding Safety Tips
1. Do not use outer or inner sections of the ladder as a separate
stepladder.
2. When the scaffolding plank is above the third rung (three feet
high), it may be used as a work bench, but not as a standing
platform.
3. ANSI rules state that the scaffolding plank should not be used
as a standing platform at heights greater than three times the
minimum width of the base section.
4. The scaffolding system has a one-man, 250-pound rating.
5. Only one person should be on the scaffold plank at a time.
Work Platform Safety Tips
1. If you purchased a Work Platform for your Alta-One, you can
use it as an additional tool tray or as a standing platform.
2. Do not use the Work Platform as a standing platform above
the third rung from the top, in either A-frame and extension
configurations.
3. Make certain the Work Platform is secure on the rung before
standing on it.
