WARNING
Before you start installing your new Louisville
Ceiling Mounted Folding Attic Ladder,
you must read and understand the following:
1. Installation requires two people.
2. Do NOT open folding attic ladder until it is securely
installed in the ceiling.
3. Check the ceiling height to make sure the ladder
length is correct.
If the ladder is too short, return it to
the point of purchase for an exchange. Under no
circumstance is any folding attic ladder to be used when
the ceiling-to-floor measurement exceeds the maximum
ceiling height as indicated for the Ceiling Mounted
Folding Attic Ladder you are installing (See “Maximum
Ceiling Height” column in Table 2 on Page 4)
4. This folding attic ladder is completely assembled and is
ready for installation. Do not disassemble it to install.
5. The springs on this folding attic ladder are under
tension. Use extreme caution when adjusting,
checking, or using this folding attic ladder. Never try to
adjust or remove the spring when the folding attic
ladder is in the open position.
6. Prior to installation, check all nuts, bolts, and screws
for proper tightness. Re-check these periodically after
initial installation.
7. Make sure there is no wiring or piping that the saw or
drill can come in contact with during installation.
8. Opening or standing on the folding attic ladder’s
climbing sections prior to properly fastening to ceiling
joists could cause serious bodily injury.
9. If the home has roof trusses, do not cut the ceiling
joists without consulting an engineer for approval.
