Handrail Assembly
The handrail (G6) can be fitted to either side of the loft
ladder. It is advisable to fit the handle only after fitting
the power pivot arm.
Fix the handrail to your chosen side of the
rear frame.
Use 3 x spacers (E1), 60mm bolts (E2),
washers and nuts (E3 & E4) supplied.
You have a choice of 2 different handrail
heights which will be dependent on the amount of
“in-loft” handrail you require.
Check that all fixings for the whole assembly are fully
secure.

Locate the power arm linkage plates either
side of pivot tip (F4)/ladder stile and align all holes.
Secure the stile to the linkage plates using bolt
(F5), washers (F6), nut and nut cap (F7 & F8).
Ensure bolt (F5) and nut (F7) are tightened sufficiently
to allow the linkage to freely rotate without any
looseness.
DO NOT over-tighten the nut as this will restrict
smooth operation of the ladder system.
