PLEASE BE ADVISED: Before assembling the Dormer system for the first time, it is highly
recommended that Installers familiarise themselves with the component parts and carry out a test
assembly and disassembly in a safe area away from the point of final installation. All component parts
detailed in the operating instructions must be used in the assembly of the system. Should a piece be
missing or appear defective do not continue to assemble and contact Easi-Dec Immediately.

position of the handhold and the way the Claw Foot grips while
taking a second handhold.
Adjust the height by removing the two Leg Pins and Lifting the
Platform up the roof to the desired height and replace both Leg
Pins remembering to also replace the safety ‘R’ Clips provided.

possible without fouling the wall or touching the ground. Fit the Pin
and ‘R’ Clip.
