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 Rock Lock 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 Rock Locks to avoid pinching.
6. Keep clothing and body parts away from rungs when telescoping 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 Velocity has an OSHA and ANSI Type IA duty rating of 300 pounds.
For your safety, do not exceed the weight limit.
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 Quad-Lock hinges and Rock Locks 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 Rock Locks, make sure you support the inner ladder
assembly with one hand to prevent it from sliding down rapidly. Failure to do
so may result 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 and Rock Locks before use, failure to do so may
result in injury.
5. When using your Velocity 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. Be sure to set the two outer ladder assemblies with the rungs facing out with
the trestle brackets properly engaged.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. The scaffolding system has a one-man, 250-pound rating.
6. 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 Velocity, 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.
The Little Giant Velocity is a multi-use ladder system made
up of three major components: one inner ladder assembly
and two outer ladder assemblies that telescope over the
inner section. The inner and outer assemblies work together
with the hinge locks and the Rock Locks to adjust the ladder
into different lengths and positions, including:
1. Extension
2. A-Frame stepladder
3. Trestle-and-plank scaffolding system (sold separately)
4. 90-degree (only used against a secure wall)
5. Staircase
