Each of the three steps, 2, 3, and 4, can be adjusted as necessary using the thumb 
slides located on both ends of each step (figure 8). 

 

 

h.

 

The stair is now ready to be used. 

 

Caution:  When climbing up or down the telescoping stairs, use both hands to securely 
grasp the supports.  This will help you maintain balance and minimize the risk of 
injury or damage to the stairs. 

 

 

2. Closing the stairs: 

a. Note that steps 2, 3, and 4 have numbers next to the black, spring-loaded slide levers.  
In order to close the stair, with the feet still on the floor, one or more of these adjustable 
steps will need to be slid or telescoped upward so that the stair retracts completely. 

b. Grasp the stair legs with both hands just below the second step and place your thumbs 
on the slide levers marked #1 (figure 9).
