Important Questions

Read instructions completely before beginning. This is necessary to ensure that you have a suitable location for the attic

ladder and the ability to safely and properly install it.

Are you capable of installing this attic ladder?

To install this attic ladder you should have sawing, squaring, and aligning skills similar to those required to install a

window or a door frame. If you do not have these skills you should hire a professional carpenter to install this unit

(see the Yellow Pages under “Building Contractors, Carpenters, Home Builders, Home Improvements, or

Contractors-General”).

Does this attic ladder meet your needs?

This attic ladder is for residential use only. Installing this attic ladder in commercial buildings and apartments may violate

building codes that require re-rated ceilings and prohibit storing materials in the overhead space! Check with your local

re marshal or building department before installing the attic ladder.

The capacity of the attic ladder (person plus materials being carried) is 250 pounds.

This attic ladder is made for the range of ceiling heights shown on the packaging. Do not install the attic ladder

in a ceiling that has a height outside of this range. Altering the attic ladder to accommodate other heights

is unsafe and should never be attempted.

THIS ATTIC LADDER COMES WITH HINGES AND LATCH TO INSTALL A DOOR (NOT

INCLUDED). TO MODIFY OR CREATE A NEW OPENING, PLEASE REFER

TO THE APPENDIX (PAGE 11).

For correct identication, the front section of the ladder can be identied by its rounded feet.

1. Carefully push out the tacks (lightly tap with a hammer if necessary) and remove the plastic end caps from the bottom

of the REAR section of the ladder (See Figure A).

2. Slide the hinge guides (B1 & B2) onto the uppermost frame section. The brackets should be positioned outwards with

the double holed half uppermost (See Figure B).

3. Slide all the way up to the installed permanent top stops at other end of section.

4. Do not replace the plastic end caps (see later at Step 3 - Fitting Bottom Stops).

Depending on the oor to oor height (see Opened Requirements

left), you may need to add the additional top stops provided (C2)

(see table below).

1. If required, locate the additional top stops over the holes

approximately 6" below the permanent top stops on the rear

section of the ladder (See Figure C).

2. Ensure the hinge guides (B1 & B2) are already in place and

below the additional top stops when assembled.

3. Fix the additional top stops using two M4 bolts and nuts

supplied (C1 & C3).

1. Both end caps should now have been removed from the

rear section during previous Step 1. Remove end cap

from the rear section rail (on the same side as it is

intended to t the assist arm).

2. Slide the bottom stops (D1) onto the rear rails.

3. Position the bottom stops 6" from the end of

the rails (See Figure D).

4. Secure with screws (D2).

5. Replace the plastic end caps removed previously and

secure with tacks.

WARNING:

DO NOT stand on the ladder to do this. Either

using a second ladder, or from inside the attic

space, secure the hinges using six 35mm

screws supplied.

Minimum 3/4" ooring required to support Compact Attic Ladder (See

Appendix, Page 19, Figure 18).The ladder should be installed on the

same side of the opening as where the door hinges will be located.

1. With the ladder centered in the opening, locate the hinge guide

bracket arms (B1 & B2) on the top edge of the opening frame

(See Figure E).

2. Mark guide holes with a pencil and then predrill pilot holes

(1/16" diameter) for all screws.

3. Attach using 35mm screws (B3).

The bracket arms with two screw holes should be on top.

If ooring material covers the top edge of the opening be certain that

the ladder is completely stable. If necessary use longer screws to

penetrate the frame itself.

The ladder should now be free to swing from the hinges and slide

freely up and down the guides.

1. Position the template cut (from the back of the packaging

card) against either the left or right hand hinge guide

bracket (depending on which chosen side the power pivot

system is to be installed).

2. Using an awl or pencil mark the 6 applicable holes through

the template on to the attic oor (See Figure F).

3. Place the spring housing (F1) in position over the holes

ensuring the arm points AWAY from the rough opening

(with slot in cover on the left-hand side) (See Figure G).

4. Secure the spring housing to the attic oor with 20mm

screws (F3) through the 4 inner holes (See Figure G).

5. Place the housing cover (F2) over the spring housing and

attach using 20mm screws (F3) through the 2 remaining

outer holes (See Figure G)

6. Position the ladder in its fully stowed (closed) position

carefully in the opening.

7. Remove the tack and plastic top cap from the top of the

required side rail of the rear ladder section and discard

(See Figure H).

8. In their place attach Pivot Tip (F4) (See Figure H).

9. Locate the power arm linkage plates on either side of pivot

tip (F4)/ladder rail and align all holes.

10. Secure the rail to the linkage plates using bolt (F5),

washers (F6), nut and nut cap (F7 & F8) (See Figure I).

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.

The handrail can be attached to either side of the ladder. It is advisable to attach the handle only after attaching the power

pivot arm.

1. Attach the handrail to your chosen side of the rear frame (See Figure J).

2. Use 3 spacers (E1), 60mm bolts (E2), washers and nuts (E3 & E4) supplied.

3. You have a choice of 2 different handrail heights which will be

dependent on the amount of “in-attic” handrail you require (See

Figure J).

Check that all components of the whole assembly are fully secure.

needed in the attic.

Use a standard 1 x 3 solid wood plank for the door frame and a standard 1 x 2 solid wood board for the door jam.

1. Measure the width of the opening and cut the 1 x 3 wood board. Nail the trimmed 1 x 3 wood board to the header.

The bottom of the wood door frame should be ush with drywall on ceiling. Repeat for length of opening. (Figure K)

2. Measure inside width of frame and cut the 1 x 2 wood board. Nail the trimmed 1 x 2 wood board to the wood door

frame recessed the thickness of the door to create the door jam. Repeat for length of frame. (Figure L)

1. From inside attic, with door fully closed, mark the edge of the

jam on the door with a pencil. Measure back and transfer line to

opposite side of door.

2. Find the mid-point of the door edge opposite the hinged side.

This will give you your center line (See Figure N). Mark with a

pencil.

3. Measure exactly 1" in from the mark that was transferred, mark

with a pencil.

4. Drill a 1/2" hole in the center and sand off any rough edges.

When turned to the correct position, the catch lever will

engage in the location bracket to hold the door shut. Attach

as follows:

1. Mark a vertical line on the inside of the door jam

corresponding with the center line of the door catch

(See Figure Q).

2. Position the catch location bracket (A5) along the

bottom edge of the wood door jam (See Figure R).

3. Match up the indent mark on the bracket with the

vertical center line.

4. Make guide holes with the awl and attach using 2 of

the 3/4" wood screws supplied (A6).

5. Apply door labels, P/N103552-01 and P/N103553-01,

into the latch groove such that the latch catch points

toward the door near edge and fully locates within the

travel stop ring (A2) (See Figures O and P).

8. Secure the travel stop ring (A2) using 12mm screw (A7).

9. Secure the catch assembly with M12 nut (A4) ensuring

the nut is tightened sufficiently to allow the catch to

rotate freely without any looseness (See Figure P).
