Guide for Installing "Stop Slip Ladder Grips"
Recommended Procedures:
- Ensure that the ladder rungs are clean and free of loose paint etc. Wipe the rungs with a suitable solvent cleaner to remove any grease and similar dirt likely to prevent a suitable adhesion.

- Insert a cartridge of PU230 adhesive sealant into a cartridge gun and screw the nozzle on to the cartridge.
- Cut approximately 20mm from the end of the nozzle leaving a hole of about 6mm in diameter.
- Apply a 6mm diameter bead of the PU230 adhesive down the middle of each internal surface of the "Ladder Grip" profiles. do not apply Adhesive to more than 5 "Ladder Grips" at a time.
- Starting with the top ladder rung, place a "Ladder Grip" over it and while swiveling it back and forth, apply a downward pressure until the adhesive oozes out at each end.
- Ensure that the top surface of the "Ladder Grip" is horizontal and remove any excess adhesive from the rung.
- Ensure that the rest of the ladder rungs are still clean and repeat procedures 6 & 7
- When completed do not allow the ladder to be used for a minimum of 24 hours.
- Regardless of the cure time allowed, do not put the ladder back into service until all "Ladder Grip" profiles have been checked and confirmed as secure.
Please ensure that the PU230 data sheet is studied before commencing the installation. Local conditions and circumstances may require some amendments.
