WARNING
!
When working with power tools,
follow all of the manufacturers safety guidelines and
wear approved safety glasses and hearing protection.
WARNING
!
When you work in the attic, stay on
decked areas. If you must be in non-decked areas,
step only on the joists. The materials between the
joists will not support your weight and will collapse if
you stand or sit on them.
Be alert to any overhead
hazards, such as exposed nails. Beware of and avoid
openings, such as the ladder or lift openings when
working or moving around in the attic.
WARNING
!
Do not work alone in the attic,
always work with another person to help you.
Do not
work in the attic in the heat of the day. You can quickly
be overcome by heat exhaustion in a hot attic.
Morning hours are the coolest time to work in the attic
after it has had all night to cool off.
READ THIS INSTALLATION GUIDE AND
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY
WHILE INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT.
The ladder opening and lift opening
present falling hazards to any person who enters the
attic. When you are in the attic space, be alert at all
times to these openings.
We highly recommend you
install a safety railing around your ladder opening, such
as the Versa Rail by BPG* (see Fig. 0).
If you install this lift product inside the
living space of a home, or in a closet, or a walk-in attic
accessible to children, then you must also install the
Auto-Shutter* from BPG that automatically closes the lift
opening as the platform goes down to help prevent
children, pets, etc. from falling through the opening (the
Auto-Shutter is not illustrated in this manual).
*For information on the Versa-Rail, Auto-Shutter, and other
Versa Lift accessories visit www.bpghome.com or call BPG.
