The Werner MT-26 offers multiple configurations for various tasks. Always ensure the ladder is fully locked in the desired position before use.

1. Opening and Closing the Ladder

• To open or close the ladder, locate the push-knob locking hinges on the sides.
• Push the knobs inward to disengage the lock.
• Carefully rotate the ladder sections to the desired position (e.g., from folded to A-frame).
• Release the knobs and ensure they snap back into place, securely locking the sections.

2. Height Adjustment (Telescoping Sections)

• To adjust the height of the ladder, locate the spring-loaded J-locks on the inner sections.
• Pull the J-locks outward to disengage them.
• Carefully extend or retract the inner sections to the desired height, in one-foot increments.
• Ensure the J-locks fully re-engage into the corresponding holes, securing the sections at the new height. Verify both sides are locked before use.

3. Configuring for Use

The MT-26 can be configured into several modes:

• Twin Stepladder: Fold the ladder into an 'A' shape. Ensure both sides are equally extended and locked.
• Extension Ladder: Fully extend the ladder sections and lock them straight. Lean against a stable surface at the correct angle.
• Stairway Ladder: Adjust each side of the A-frame independently using the J-locks to accommodate uneven surfaces like stairs.
• Scaffold Bases: The ladder can be separated into two individual bases to support a plank (plank not included). Refer to the detailed instructions for this configuration.

Алдааг олж засварлах

Here are some common observations and potential solutions:

• Difficulty Adjusting Height or Folding:
  • Ensure J-locks and push-knobs are fully disengaged.
  • Check for dirt or debris obstructing the mechanisms. Clean and lubricate if necessary.
  • Verify that the ladder sections are aligned correctly.
• Ladder Feels Heavy:
  • The MT-26 is constructed from durable aluminum and weighs approximately 59.3 pounds. This weight contributes to its stability and 300-pound duty rating.
  • For extension ladder setup, it may be easier to extend the top section first, stand the ladder vertically, and then extend the bottom section. For full extension, two people may be required to safely raise the ladder.
• Noticeable Flex When Extended:
  • Some flex is inherent in multi-position ladders, especially when fully extended. The design accounts for this. Ensure all locking mechanisms are fully engaged and the ladder is placed on a stable surface.
• J-Hooks or Push-Knobs Damaged:
  • These components are critical for safety. If any part of the locking mechanism is damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact Werner customer support for replacement parts or service.
