Securing the Ladder After Use
1.Lay the box on the floor with the lid folded open.
2.Stretch the ladder out
on the floor, with the rung standoffs facing up towards you placing the rungs as close as possible next to each other. Assemble the rungs into the box keeping the the stand- offs facing upward.
3. Use the plastic strap (attached to the last rung) to wrap and secure the rungs. This will minimize the chance of the ladder becoming tangled when you remove it from the box in an emergency.
4. Place the folded sill hooks on top of the rungs, between the standoffs as shown in the diagram.
5.Store the escape ladder in an accessible location. Be sure nothing blocks your access to the ladder.
