7. How to use the ladder:
The following drawings show how to use the attic ladder
safely (see figure 9).
8. Further advice:
Depending on the model, the following may be relevant:
WARNING: The spring mechanism can be re-adjusted inside
its frame using a chain link or by moving the springs up or
down (depends on the model in question). Always adjust the
spring mechanism when the trapdoor is closed. It may be
necessary to adjust the spring mechanism if the trapdoor is
to be clad. Take great care when making adjustments as the
springs are very taut. Accidental release of the springs may
cause personal injury.
Chipboard trapdoors are suitable for painting. To avoid dis-
tortion, paint the trapdoor on both sides.
