Maintenance and Periodic Inspections
The Rainbow attic ladders require very little maintenance.
It is nevertheless advisable to periodically check for proper functioning by visually inspecting the main parts and
devices. Under normal use, please follow the maintenance plan indicated in the table below.
Note: For more frequent or heavy use of the ladder, such as in commercial applications, it is recommended
that all periodic maintenance / inspection items be performed on a regular, three month basis.
