STORING 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 stabilizers facing up towards you.
3. .Grab the bottom two rungs of the ladder, and set them in the
bottom of the box so the rungs are as far apart as possible.
The chain between them should lay straight.
4. Continue placing two rungs in the box at a time, making sure
the rungs stack neatly on top of each other. This will minimize
the chance of the ladder becoming tangled when you remove
it from the box in an emergency.
5. When you reach the top end of the ladder, fold the sill hooks
together and turn them so they line up as shown.
6. Lay the sill hooks in the box as shown. The hooks should rest
on the bottom of the box, around the outside of the stacked
rungs.
7. Store the fire escape ladder in an accessible location, by the
window, under a bed, or in the front part of a closet. Be sure
nothing blocks your access to the ladder.
