Two persons are
recommended to ensure
quick and safe fitting.
From below two people
lift the ladder into the
opening and carefully
release once the
installation clips have
gripped the ladder.
Alternatively one person
can lift from above using
a block and tackle.
Check that the frame lies
flush with the ceiling and
that the frame lies
symmetrically inside the
hole. Next fix the ladder
starting with the hinged
side. Screw the installation
clips so that they force the
ladder frame upwards.
5
Centre the ladder hatch within your framed opening using
wedges. Check that the diagonals are exactly the same length
and that the trapdoor opens and closes easily. To secure
ladder, use 4 roofing screws screwed from the inside of the
frame through into noggins.

The rest of the installation will happen downstairs. Climb
though the open frame using a separate step ladder, taking
your tools with you.

LADDERSLADDERS
The next step involves
adjusting the ladder’s length to
suit your ceiling height. Unfold
the ladder as shown in the
picture and place the bottom
on a trestle, the hatch must be
full open. If your ladder is a
3+1 be sure to extend the
telescopic section of your
ladder to it’s full extent (check
that the nylon stops on the
stringers are resting on their
bracket. Measure off the length
down to the floor using a
yardstick along the second
section’s rear and with the
same slope as the side of the
ladder. Mark off at the edge of
the ladder’s end
7
Place the yardstick on the
lowest section of the ladder
with the marked line at the
upper end. Mark the length on
the side of the ladder at the
lower end of the yardstick. For
the floor angle add 40 mm and
mark and draw line between
the marks.
Cut off the ladder at the mark.
To prevent Scratches on the
floor, fit the protective pads
8a.Wooden Ladder
Place the yardstick on the
lowest section of the ladder
with the marked line at the
upper end. Mark off the length
of the side of the ladder at the
bottom end of the yardstick. An
aluminium ladder should be cut
shorter as shown in the picture
in order to compensate for
added feet. The length should
be reduced by 17 mm.
Cut off the ladder at the mark.
Offer up the pads and drill the
holes, finally screw on the
pads.

as indicates in the illustration.

straight line. There should not be any gap between the ladder
sections.
