Using the ladder – ladder unfolding

2) When opening the hatch, face the ladder at a distance equal to the length of the arm from 
the opening hatch.  
Do not stand under the hatch of the ladder when it is being opened as it may lead to an 
accident or injury.

3) Holding the hatch with both hands pull it down until it stops.

4)  Then, grab the first segment from the top with both hands and unfold the ladder. 
Do not hold the stringers at the point of the hinged connection between segments to avoid 
pinching your fingers.

5) Unfold the ladder slowly, until all its segments form a straight line. 
Do not hold the stringers at the point of the hinged connection between segments to avoid 
pinching your fingers.

6)  After unfolding the ladder, make sure that the beams of the stringers or stile ends 
mounted onto the lower segment, adhere properly to the floor.

1) Place the control rod in the lock opening and turn it left. The hatch drops down 
automatically by 20°.
