Important Questions

Read instructions completely before beginning. This is necessary to ensure that you have a suitable location for the attic
ladder and the ability to safely and properly install it.
Are you capable of installing this attic ladder?
To install this attic ladder you should have sawing, squaring, and aligning skills similar to those required to install a
window or a door frame. If you do not have these skills you should hire a professional carpenter to install this unit
(see the Yellow Pages under "Building Contractors, Carpenters, Home Builders, Home Improvements, or
Contractors-General").
Does this attic ladder meet your needs?
This attic ladder is for residential use only. Installing this attic ladder in commercial buildings and apartments may violate
building codes that require fire-rated ceilings and prohibit storing materials in the overhead space! Check with your local
fire marshal or building department before installing the attic ladder.
The capacity of the attic ladder (person plus materials being carried) is 250 pounds.
This attic ladder is made for the range of ceiling heights shown on the packaging. Do not install the attic ladder
in a ceiling that has a height outside of this range. Altering the attic ladder to accommodate other heights
is unsafe and should never be attempted.

Assembling the Ladder

For correct identification, the front section of the ladder can be identified by its rounded feet.

of the REAR section of the ladder (See Figure A).
2. Slide the hinge guides (B1 & B2) onto the uppermost frame section. The brackets should be positioned outwards with
the double holed half uppermost (See Figure B).
3. Slide all the way up to the installed permanent top stops at other end of section.
