MAINTENANCE
•
The AdjustaStairs should be checked monthly for damage such as dents, stress cracks, weld cracking, buckling,
missing components, damaged hardware and the like. Details of checks should be recorded in the company’s
plant maintenance records.
•
If any of the above defects are discovered these should be immediately reported to the workshop manager/site
supervisor for replacement or repair. Use of the Safety Stair should be discontinued until it has been cleared safe
for use.
•
Check that the step pivot bolts/nuts are secure before each use. Ensure there are at least 2 turns of bolt thread
visible beyond the nylon nuts. Note; nuts must not be over-tightened as this will reduce the adjustability of the
stair.
•
Ensure each step is kept clean of rubbish and grease etc. Clean it regularly with a standard cleaning agent and
water.
All replacement components used in AdjustaStairs must be supplied by Easy Access Company.
OPERATION
•
Place the stair on the support surface with the top step facing the fixing location.
•
Using two people each side of the stair, raise the top step end of the stair and place it on to the fixing location.
Adjust the angle of the steps to ensure they are level and the notch in the top step fits firmly onto the support
position. Note; the top step fixing area must be a rigid surface e.g. steel beam, concrete or timber (minimum 100
x 50mm). It must not be an earth or gravel edge.
•
Remove the wing-nut from the hand tightened bolt in the upper stringer and remove the bolt.
•
Slide the bolt into the slot in the handrail post and through the hole in the upper stringer. Ensure the head of the
bolt fits into the groove in the handrail post extrusion.
•
Slide the nylon washer over the bolt and reattach the wing-nut. Tighten the wing-nut at this time.
•
The above steps are to be completed on each handrail post.
•
The standard angle of slope range for a Safety stair is 30 - 45 degrees. The operator must face away from the
stair when descending and maintain 3 points of contact when ascending and descending.
•
The Safety stair can also be used at a 65 - 75 degree range, however, the operator must descend the stair facing
it and maintain 4 points of contact during ascending and descending.
•
Fix the top step onto the support rail using either timber coach screws (minimum M10 x 50mm), Bolts (minimum
M10, 8.8) or concrete sleeve anchors (minimum M10 x 50mm). Note: The Safety stair requires a minimum of four
fixings to the top support surface and two at the base.
•
Fix the base angle brackets into the support surface using the same fastenings as the top step. Note; compacted
gravel may be used as a base support surface. In this instance drive a minimum 300mm length of Rebar through
the hole in the base angle brackets to secure them to the support surface.
•
If Strutlocks are fitted to the stair; swivel these into the receiving brackets with locking nut above as shown.
Adjust the nut to suit final stair height, locking the stair
in correct position. Note: If a Safety stair is fitted with
Strutlocks it requires a minimum of two fixings to the top
support surface.
Your stair is now ready for use.
