Safety & Installation
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ ALL THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
STARTING TO INSTALL YOUR LOFT LADDER.
The ladder should be high enough to allow you to climb up into the loft without exceeding the maximum
weight of the loft ladder.
Do not use the ladder as an access passage during building or renovation work. Do not use the ladder
if the ceiling height exceeds the maximum ceiling height stated in the installation instructions or on the
product label.
For safety's sake, always face the ladder when climbing up and down and grip at least one string of the
ladder. The ladder must be used only by one person at a time.
Do not use the ladder if it is faulty or damaged. The springs are very taut. Take care when adjusting
springs. Only adjust the spring mechanism when the ladder is folded (i.e. the springs are under least
tension). Great care should be taken when removing springs. If the ladder is delivered unassembled, read
the assembly instructions carefully before assembling and installing the ladder.
The ladder is tested to 150kg (maximum load). A load in excess of 150kg may cause damage to the ladder
and constitutes a risk of personal injury.
NB
! Lubricate all moving metal parts with oil immediately after assembly. Parts must subsequently be
lubricated at least once a year.
