Improper or excessive use of force to extend stair can result in damage to
stair unit. Due to the interlocking nature of the “scissor treads”, some stiff-
ness is normal. Should you encounter unusual resistance, STOP and re-read
the operating instructions below. If the problem persists, call your dealer or
SP Partners at 877-369-6996.

Manual Operation of Stair
In the event of a power outage, the stair can be operated manually. The long pole with hook (Figure 7) is
supplied for this purpose.
To Open Stair:
1.
Insert hook provided into ring on door face and pull door down until fully open. Figures 14. (Door
should stay in place at full open position.)
2.
Grab bottom tread with hook and pull slightly away from door to start unfolding stair. Figures 15.
(Never pull straight down as the stabilizer arm must swing steps out and away from door before
it can be pulled straight down.)
Figures 16 & 17.
To Close Stair:
