Determine the correct number of steps required for your floor-to-ceiling height (See Table A on page 3).  

 
If no additional steps are needed, skip this section. 

 
1. With stair fully extended to floor, detach bottom step by removing the four bolts, washers and sleeves. 

Figure 8. This tread will be added back at the end. 

2.

Attach step(s) by reinserting sleeves, washers and bolts. Figure 9. (Additional hardware is provided)

 

3.

Add back bottom step. Wheels should be in the back. 

These wheels do not touch floor when stair is 

fully extended. They are only to protect door when the stair is folded.

Adjusting Set Screw 

With stair fully extended to floor, 
raise or lower the set screws on the 
stabilizer arm until the screw head 
makes contact with the bottom of the 
stabilizer arm. Tighten lock nut to 
keep it secure.  
 

Note: Screws set too high will 
prevent stair from making contact
