Product description:
The standard X1 fold-out escape
ladder is designed to provide a
safe evacuation route during fires
or other dangerous situations.
The ladder is mounted vertically
on the outside of a building to
allow access from windows,
balconies etc. When removing a
locking pin, the ladder is folded
out from the access point and
down to the ground.
Attach the ladder by fastening
compatible screws in the wall.
Begin at the top, follow with the
bottom and then fasten the
remaining screws in between.
Mounting:Attachment measurements:
Locking pin:

where everyone in the
household can reach it.

top of the ladder below the plastic
lid.
The ladder should end a minimum of
50 cm from the gound.

In a building with several
access points, multiple locking
pins and ladder units can be
used to allow access from
different levels.
The standard lengths of the
ladder are 2,1 m, 3,9 m and
4,8 m. Different lengths can
be combined to fit different
building measurements.
The ladder should normally start
along the top of a window and
end about 0,5 of 1,0 meters
above ground level. See
the picture below and more
detailed information later.

Wall with protruding/indented elements:
Mounting the ladder with a 10 cm to 40 cm distance
from the wall: Use telescopic/adjustable brackets. The
brackets come in these sizes: 10 cm - 15 cm, 15 cm – 23
cm or 24 cm – 40 cm.
Mounting the ladder with a distance less than 6 cm from the
wall: Use extension brackets.
These come in 2 cm and 3,2 cm and can be used together..
This method can give the ladder a distance of appr. 6 cm. Use telescopic
brackets to give the ladder a greater distance.
