Are replacement parts available for the rubber feet?
While not explicitly detailed, for specific replacement parts, it is recommended to contact Lyte Ladders and Towers customer support directly.
Can this ladder be used on uneven surfaces?
The ladder should always be placed on a firm, level surface for maximum stability and safety. The rubber feet provide some grip but do not compensate for significant unevenness.
Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable when open.
Ensure the ladder is fully opened on a level, firm surface. Check that the A-frame supports are properly locked into place and that there are no obstructions on the rungs or frame.
Treads feel slippery.
Clean the treads with a damp cloth to remove any dust, oil, or debris. Ensure the non-slip pattern is not worn down. Replace the ladder if tread damage compromises safety.
Ladder has minor dents or scratches.
Minor cosmetic damage to the aluminium frame that does not affect structural integrity is generally not a functional issue. However, inspect closely for any signs of weakness. If damage is significant or affects performance, cease use.
