T
O WORK PROPERLYIN A FIRE EMERGENCY,THIS LADDER MUST:
Be Stored Where It Is Easy To Reach Quickly...
D
o not store the ladder on another floor of your home.If you have more than one second-floor room requiring
a
n alternate means of escape,put a fire ladder in each room.Store the ladder where it can be immediately
accessed--near the window,under a bed, or in the front part of a closet.
M
ake sure nothing blocks you from reaching the ladder. In a fire you have limited time to react and take action.
S
tore the ladder in its original box to keep it from becoming tangled.
Be Used On A Suitable Window...
This ladder is intended for use in windows that are structurally safe for the intended load.
The ladder must be used from the correct height,and there should be no obstructions along the ladder path to
the ground.
This ladder is intended only for second-floor windows no higher than 16 feet (4.9 meters) from the ground.
T
he windowsill must be no narrower than 6 inches (15 cm) and no wider than 13 inches (33 cm).
T
he windowsill must be in good condition (no rotted wood,loose boards, etc.).
The window must open easily and completely. Storm windows, screens or other types of multi-track windows
ca
n make it difficult to use this ladder in an emergency.
The window should not be blocked by furniture or security devices like grilles or bars.
For details on choosing a suitable window, see the “Choosing AWindow”section of this manual.
Be Properly Secured To The Windowsill Before You Start Climbing Down...
T
o properly support your weight and provide the needed stability while you climb down, the ladder must be
properly attached to the windowsill.Make sure the sill hooks rest securely on the windowsill.
M
ake sure the folding crosspiece between the sill hooks is straight,and the straps do not tangle as you lower
the ladder out of the window.

.Stretch the ladder out on the floor,with the rung
standoffs facing up towards you placing the
