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 second-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 just minutes 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 second-floor windows no higher than 16 feet from the ground.
•
The windowsill must be no narrower than 6” (15 cm) and no wider than 10” (25 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 win-
dows can make it difficult to use this ladder in an emergency.
•
The window should not be blocked by furniture or security devices like grills or bars.
•
For details on choosing a suitable window, see the “Choosing A Window” and “Test Fitting The Ladder” inside.
 
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 chain does not tangle as you 
lower the ladder out of the window.
 
CHOOSING A WINDOW
WARNING
!
 
This escape ladder is not intended for use from second floor windows directly above first floor windows. 
The rung stabilizers could break a first-floor window and cause injury.
CAUTION
!
 
You must test fit this ladder on your chosen escape window before storing it. In a fire emergency 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.
