INCLUDED
COMPONENTS
(1) Ladder Assembly
(1) Pull Rope

DO NOT remove the nylon tie holding the ladder

1.
ATTACHING PULL CORD: (See Figure F)
a. Thread small end of supplied pull rope through
pre-drilled hole in door and tie to the washer.
You can adjust length of pull rope after ladder
is completely installed.
2. RAISING LADDER INTO ROUGH OPENING:
a. One person should be in the attic before
raising the ladder.
b. Raise ladder through rough opening at an
angle so the ladder clears the temporary
support boards. (See Figure G)
c. Position the ladder in the rough opening so it
rests securely on the temporary support
boards. Slide the ladder so that the hinged
end of the wood frame is resting tightly against
Header "A" (See Figure H). Make certain the
plywood door is not prevented from opening by
the support boards. (See Figure I) If it is
obstructed check the position of the support
boards from Step 1.
Do not place any weight on the ladder until
permanently installed in Step 3, page 8.
The person in the overhead space must remain
there until installation is completed.
