Do not use the ladder if the height of the room in which it was fitted, 
exceeds the maximum permissible height specified on the production 
label. 
The range of room heights within which it is possible to install loft 
ladders is, respectively

The loft ladder should be installed after completion of wet works, when the humidity in 
the building reaches the value appropriate for dry rooms. Loft ladders are designed for the 
interior use and only in dry rooms.

Before using the loft ladder, check all connections made with screws, bolts and rivets. Do not 
use the ladder, if the bolts or screws are loose.  Removing the springs and other elements of 
the unloading system is very dangerous and thus prohibited.
Never attempt to tension the springs yourself. This operation can be performed only by the 
authorized service. 
Do not unscrew the hatch or hardware elements attached to it.

Do not install loft ladders near stairs, staircases or free-standing objects in the room (e.g. stove): 

if the loft ladder is installed near the stairway, stairwell or a stove, in the event of falling off the ladder the user is more likely to sustain a serious injury. 

if the loft ladder is installed near the door, there is a possibility that when the door is opened, it hits the ladder and shakes it, consequently, leading to a loss of balance and fall of the 

person using the ladder 

do not place the ladder on the landings, platforms or boxes. Structures of this type are not stable and reliable base for the unfolded ladder.
