SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT:

Read these instructions carefully before use, and save them for future reference. Failure to follow all instructions and safety instructions could result in serious or fatal injury

• The product is an escape ladder designed for emergency evacuation of a building in serious situations where there is threat to human life. It is therefore important that you read the instructions carefully and familiarise yourself with the product so that you know how to use it should an emergency situation arise. Incorrect use can result in serious or fatal injury.
• The product is intended for one-time use and must only be used for emergencies. The product must be discarded after use. Repeated use of the product can result in serious or fatal injury.
• Normal use of the product can cause scratches and marks on surfaces inside and on the building.
  • The product should not be used with storm windows or other windows that, for whatever reason, cannot be fully opened to at least 30 cm.
  • Do not use a window above a conservatory, roof or other structure that can block the evacuation.
  • If possible, do not use a window that has other windows below it – risk of damage to the lower windows and/ or their frames and sills.
  • Do not use a window that is blocked by furniture, a radiator, AC unit, or by security barriers, such as grilles or bars (without internal release mechanisms).
  • Only use a window that is structurally safe to bear the load for which the product is designed.
  • Check whether there are any obstacles outside the window, such as electricity or phone wires, or a fence.
• The product should be inspected regularly for damage, loose screws/nuts and incorrect assembly that can affect the material or design.
• The product should be replaced with a new one every 5 years to ensure correct performance and load-bearing capacity.
• The product is intended as a complement to, and not a replacement for, fire drills, evacuation plans, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and other basic fire safety measures and equipment.
• The maximum permitted load is 150 kg and no more than three people may be on the ladder at the same time.
• The product is not a toy. Instruct children that the ladder is to be used only in an emergency or an adult-supervised evacuation drill.
• The product should only be used to evacuate a whole family if the primary escape route is blocked or unsafe to use.
• Do not carry pets or objects when using the product.
• Do not carry children when using this product, unless absolutely necessary.

HOW TO USE

1. Close all doors to the room before opening the escape window. This is to prevent feeding the fire with oxygen and slow the spread of flames.

2. Open the ladder hooks and adjust them to the correct width.

3. Place the ladder hooks over the window sill/frame, with the ladder hanging outside the building. Make sure that the ladder hooks are firmly in place over the window sill/frame.

5. Climb carefully out through the window, backwards and feet first, and place your feet on the rungs of the ladder. Hold the ladder hooks firmly for extra support and stability.

6. Climb down the ladder, keeping your body as close to it as possible for maximum stability. Only carry children down the ladder if it is absolutely necessary.

7. An adult should climb down first and then hold the ladder still while children and elderly persons descend.

8. Climb down carefully to avoid breaking the glass of any windows you pass.

EVACUATION PLAN

Make an evacuation plan with escape routes, and practise evacuating the building. Decide on at least two exits from each room (door and window), an escape route out of the building from each of these exits, and an assembly point outside the building.

PRACTISE POSITIONING THE LADDER

Practise assembling and positioning the ladder for evacuation as illustrated in figures 2 and 3.

NOTE:

Do not pull the release strap while practising. The escape ladder has been carefully packed by the manufacturer to ensure that it releases and unfolds correctly in a real emergency.

MAINTENANCE

STORAGE

• Keep the ladder near the emergency escape window, where it can be easily and quickly reached. Inside a wardrobe or under a bed are suitable places.
• Do not store the ladder in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 50°C.
