Step 11
Operating the Ladder
1. Locate the plastic stowing hook (G3) into one end of the assist pole (G2)
and push firmly to ensure the plastic stowing hook (G3) is fully located within the
pole. Secure hook (G3) with self-tapping screw. Push the plastic end plug into
the opposite end of the assist pole (G2).
2. To open the door, locate the hook (G3) into the slot in the latch (A1) and turn
the catch counterclockwise until it reaches the travel stop and then lower the
door (See Figure S).
3. Put the stowing hook (G3) over and at the center of the REAR ladder section
bottom rung and steadily pull the ladder outward and downward until both top
stops reach and make contact with the hinge guides (See Figure T).
4. Retract both right-hand side catches 'C' & 'D' (blue) and rotate both catch levers
upwards into the locked open position (See Figures T and W).
5. To extend the ladder, retract left-hand catch 'A' (black) while supporting the front
frame of the ladder. Lower the frame slowly until catch 'A' (black) engages again
(Figure U).
6. Then retract catch 'B' (black) and lower the middle frame until catch 'B' (black) is
engaged in your required position. Extend the ladder until the feet rest firmly on
the floor (Figure U).
7. When the ladder has been fully opened, rotate both right-hand side catch levers
downward to unlock and release both catches 'C' and 'D' (blue) and ensure both
catches are fully engaged. DO NOT use ladder with any catches ('A', 'B', 'C' or
'D') disengaged. Read the safety labels on the product.
8. Ensure the ladder is pulled down so that the top stops (or additional top stops if
installed) rest firmly on the hinge guides. This supports the top section and
prevents it from sliding down when climbed.
9. Check the ladder angle against the safety label or refer back
to opened requirements on page 2.
Stowing the Ladder
10. Retract both right-hand side catches 'C' & 'D' (blue) and rotate
both catch levers upwards into the locked open position
(Figure W).
11. To stow the ladder, retract catch 'A' (black), slide the front
frame fully upwards until catch engages again.
12. Repeat step 11 for catch 'B' (black) and the middle ladder frame
13. Reverse step 10 and ensure both right-hand side catches 'C'
and 'D' (blue) are fully engaged.
14. Engage the plastic stowing hook (E3) over and at the center
of the REAR ladder section bottom rung. While maintaining
the assist pole in the vertical position, push the ladder
vertically upwards.
15. Continue to slowly push the ladder up and fully into the attic hole.
16. Use the assist pole to raise the door and turn the latch
clockwise to close.
