These instructions contain important and essential steps
on installation and safety when using your loft ladder. Keep
these in a safe place for future reference.
Manufacturer and seller shall bear no liability for failure to
comply with the applicable law, building codes and safety
requirements by the user of the product, architect, tter
and owner of the building.
The loft ladder is clearly identied on the ID label on the

INSTALLATION & TIPS
Begin by unpacking the loft ladder and identify all the
pieces against the instructions.
Ensure the loft ladder is not damaged during transport.
If damaged, please contact our sales team on 029 2132
0000.
Ensure safe access to your loft space and, if necessary, a
safe working platform is available before attempting to
install.
Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed
or intricate work, is required.
We recommend using goggles and a mask to protect you
from dust and other particles generated from tting the
loft ladder.
Ensure the loft ladder ts your loft space and ceiling height
of the room below. The maximum oor to ceiling height
is 2.8m (9ft 2 inches). The maximum weight capacity is
150kg, which includes the person and any items carried.
Carefully clear the area where the loft ladder is being
installed to ensure that you are screwing the frame into
joists and not metal, cables or pipework. Ensure that
electrical cabling or pipework is not hidden. Consider laying
planks of wood to take your weight to avoid falling through
the ceiling.
If your joists are not made from timber, please seek
specialist advice.
Depending on the size of your loft opening, you may
require spacer blocks to ensure a tight t. Ensure that the
frame is level and squarely tted, otherwise, it will not
operate correctly.
We recommend tting temporary battens to support the
loft ladder during installation.
Ensure that you DO NOT cut through a load-bearing joist.
Safe operation of this loft ladder can only be guaranteed
if correctly installed. If you do not feel qualied to t, you
should stop now and contact a professional.
GENERAL SAFETY
This loft ladder is not intended for use by children or those
with reduced sensory, physical or mental capabilities.
Ensure that the loft ladder is not left open and unattended
when not in use.
Care should be taken to ensure that boxes and items being
carried into the loft space do not cause you to lose your
footing or balance.
Familiarise yourself with the pinch points to avoid personal
injury.
Only climb the loft ladder when fully installed, and the
frame is securely xed to the joists. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
NOTE: that the springs are tensioned when in position.
Care should be taken to ensure that the bolts are secured
and not loose.
Never force the door to open or to pull the loft ladder
section down. This could damage the integrity of the loft
ladder and cause personal injury.
Note that the loft ladder is designed to be permanently
xed in place but is not designed to act as a main
thoroughfare between oors. It is for occasional use into
your loft space.
We recommend installing the TB Davies Balustrade Kit to
secure the loft opening and prevent falls into the space
below.
BEFORE USE
Check the following:
• The treads and stiles are not split
• The screws/nuts/bolts are secure and not loose
• The hatch opens/closes without any resistance or
interference and does not catch on the frame
• Check metal parts are not corroded or damaged
• Ensure that you annually lubricate all metal moving parts
• Ensure that the ladder section is not warped or damaged
