Adjusting The Ladder Height
Unfold the middle and bottom section.
A36 model - See below for extra instructions before proceeding.
1. Loosen the screws located through the slots where the top section is fitted to the
runner.
2. Slide the whole ladder down the runners until the rubber feet are firmly on the floor
and the ladder sections are closing tight where hinged. Once correctly adjusted to
height, tighten the screws in the slots of the runner.
3. Once the ladder has been adjusted to height, fix 2 x M6 bolts through both runners,
to lock the ladder in place.
4. There are 6 x empty holes on each runner, 3 at the top and 3 at the bottom. Choose
one hole at the top and one at the bottom of each runner to fit your M6 bolt through.
5. Drill a 6mm hole through the aluminium ladder stringer, using your chosen holes in
the runner as a guide. Make sure there are no treads in the way. Firmly fix 2 x M6
bolts through each runner to secure the ladder.
A36 model
Before completing steps 2 - 6 above, complete the following steps:
1. The A36 ladder covers a wide range of heights from 2.7m - 3.66m and may need
to be cut either in line with a tread or midway between treads before sliding to the
correct height.
2. Determine the exact ceiling height.
3. Use the table below and Figure 11 to determine the cut position:
Cut Position
Ceiling height range
1
2700mm - 2780mm (Remove bottom section)
2
2780mm - 2915mm (Remove bottom section)
3
2915mm - 3025mm
4
3025mm - 3135mm
5
3135mm - 3250mm
6
3250mm - 3360mm
7
3360mm - 3470mm
8
3470mm - 3590mm
9
3590mm - 3660mm
(Do not cut section)
4. Unfold the middle and bottom sections of the ladder. For Cut Position #1 & 2 - remove
the bottom section and hinge.
5. Based on your Cut Position, determine which tread you need to cut above or
measure to the midway point between the treads you need to cut between.
6. The ladder will need to be cut at the same angle as the treads at 70°.
7. After the ladder has been cut to height fit the rubber feet supplied in the packaging.
Drill a 6mm hole through the aluminium using the ladder foot holes as a guide.
Finishing The Ladder
1. Fix a suitable architrave around the lid (figure 12).
Note: The ladder is designed to be installed with the bottom of the frame flush with the
underside of the ceiling lining. An architrave will cover the gap between the ladder frame
and the ceiling lining while also hiding the edge of the lid from view (figure 13).
