HOW TO SETUP POSITIONS

The Werner MT Series Telescoping Multiladder can be used in positions shown below with no additional equipment required. The following instruction will demonstrate how to change

the Werner Telescoping Multiladder.

Position #1

Twin Stepladder

1) To configure the MT Series ladder into the stepladder position, follow the directions for

changing the angle of the ladder (Section 3) using the push knob locking hinge.

Note:The stepladder position is easiest completed with the ladder standing up. In this

position excess pressure is not exerted on the hinge.

2) At this point the height of the ladder can be changed to the desired height using the Spring

Loaded “J” locks and the instructions for them (Section 4).


1) To configure the MT Series ladder into the Stairway Stepladder position – this

position is used when the user needs to work in a stairway.

2) To achieve this position, configure the ladder in the stepladder configuration

as described in position #1. Raise to desired height.

3) Lower one side of the inner section until the desired step height is reached as

described in position #2 above.

4) Position ladder on stairway, ensuring all legs are on firm ground or steps.


|• Never straddle front and rear sections.
• Always face ladder and maintain firm grip while on it.


CAUTION|

1) Configuring the MT Series ladder into the extension ladder position, as with the stepladder

position, the extension ladder position starts with changing the angle.

Note:The push knob hinge will catch in each of the 3 positions. Continue to disengage and rotate

the sections until the desired position is reached.

2) With the ladder standing up, unlock the upper section “J” locks and walk the upper ladder

section out. If more height is needed, extend the opposite section in the same way. Slide outer

sections apart until desired length is met.

75°Approximately


2) Separate the inner and outer sections completely by unlocking the “J” locks and sliding the outer sections

off the inner section.

3) Place inner section in stepladder position.
4) Place dynamic hinge into outer section rail by threading narrow tab (See Figure 5) of


tab on the outside of the rail (See Figure 6).

5) Lock using “J” locks as shown in Figure 6. Repeat on other side.
6) Ensure rungs face out opposite the hinge hook direction (See Figure 7). Spread outer sections


apart as shown in Figure 8.
