TO WORK PROPERLY IN A FIRE EMERGENCY, THIS LADDER MUST:
Be Stored Where It Is Easy To Reach Quickly...
Do not store the ladder on another floor of your home. If you have more than one third-floor room requiring an
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.
Make sure nothing blocks you from reaching the ladder. In a fire you have limited time to react and take action.
Store 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 third-floor windows no higher than 26 feet (7.9 meters) from the ground.
The windowsill must be no narrower than 6 inches (15 cm) and no wider than 13 inches (33 cm).
The 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
can 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 A Window” section of this manual.
Be Properly Secured To The Windowsill Before You Start Climbing Down...
To 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.
Make 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.

Choosing A Window
This escape ladder is not intended for use from
third floor windows directly above first or second
floor windows. The rung stabilizers could break a
first or second floor window and cause injury.
You must test fit this ladder on your chosen
escape window before storing it. In a fire emer-
gency you will not have time to determine whether
or not a particular window is suitable, and using
the ladder on an unsuitable window could result
in injury or death.
1. The ladder should be used ONLY from third floor
windows no more than 26 feet (7.9 meters) from
the ground.
2. The window should be at least 20 inches (51 cm)
wide and 32 inches (81 cm) high to give you
enough clearance to exit safely.
The windowsill width should be between a
minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) and a maximum
of 13 inches (33 cm). Measure windowsill from
outside to inside. DO NOT USE THIS FIRE
ESCAPE LADDER ON WINDOWSILLS THAT ARE
TOO LARGE OR TOO SMALL FOR THE HOOKS.
3. DO NOT USE ON A DAMAGED OR WEAK
WINDOWSILL. Check windowsill for weak, rotted
or loose wood, or damage. Consult a contractor
or replace windowsill BEFORE attempting to hook
the fire escape ladder to a damaged windowsill.
This ladder is intended for use in windows that
are structurally safe for the intended load.
4. For safest use, there should be a clear path from
the window all the way to the ground. BEFORE
STORING THE LADDER FOR AN EMERGENCY:
From outside of your home, check below the
window for any obstructions. Check for trees,
bushes, plants, windows, house fixtures, or any
other objects in the direct path below the chosen
window.
5. Make sure the window you choose opens easily
and completely. In an emergency, every minute
counts.
Do not use from a
third floor window
directly above a first or
second floor window.
Use ONLY from third floor
windows no more than 26 feet
(7.9 meters) from the ground.
A
DIMENSION A:
The windowsill width
should be between
a minimum of 6'' (15
cm) and a maximum
of 13'' (33 cm).
