Step 2: To Close and Stow the Loft Ladder
2.1.
Depress the two red buttons on
the underside of rung 2 to unlock the
rung, see Fig 2.1 then push the rung
upwards in the direction of the arrows.
You can now release your fingers from
the buttons and continue to raise the
rung.
When the rung 2 touches rung 3, it will
push in the red buttons and unlock
rung 3. Continue to raise rung 2 to now
move both rungs up together.
2.2.
Grip the lower stiles and push up
to unlock and close more rungs in the
same way. If you can now place the
stowage bracket (see Fig 2.4) onto the
sub-frame carrier bar, then do so and
ignore paragraph 2.3.
2.3.
Insert the plain end of pole into
the holes in rung 1 and rung 2 and lift
up the ladder to close all the rungs and
sit the stowage bracket located on the
rear of the rung 1, onto the sub-frame
carrier bar.
2.4.
Use the hook end of the pole and
hook onto the carrier bar to raise the
ladder. During this operation the springs
will pull the ladder into a horizontal
position.
Remove the pole and close the loft
hatch.
