1: Install the Loftmaster

Installation Consideration

The following points should be considered

before installing the Loftmaster.

Loft Hatch

The loft hatch must be downward opening. It

may be necessary to reﬁt your loft hatch

door so that it opens downwards so that the

hatch when open hangs down behind the

ladder when it is deployed.

Loft Opening

It is recommended that the Loftmaster is

installed so that it is orientated parallel to

the longer side of the opening. This will give

the user more comfortable access to the loft

and will be easier for the user to take items

into the loft.

Secure Fixing

The two ﬁxing brackets supplied must be

attached to a secure part of the loft

structure such as a ceiling joist or sound

timber bridging and securely fastened to the

joists.

Footprint

When the ladder is opened there should be

enough space available at the base of the

ladder for a person to easily and safely get

onto and climb the ladder.

Tools

You will need the following tools and

materials: Pencil, set-square and

measuring tape (mm) for marking out.

A drill and a 4mm drill bit for drilling the

bracket ﬁxing holes and a Posidrive

screwdriver for tightening the eight bracket

ﬁxing screws.

Strong string to extend the springs during

installation.

Installation

Marking Out

1.1 Measure and draw the ‘centre line’

on the ceiling joist midway across the

width of the loft opening where the

mounting brackets will be ﬁtted, Fig 1.1.

Measure 188 mm either side of this line

and draw a vertical line at these points

greater than 90 mm long to mark the

mounting bracket centre lines.

1.2 Refer to Fig 1.2 and Fig 1.3. The

brackets are supplied with their ladder

sub-frame carrier tubes ﬁtted. Note that

these brackets are ‘handed’, left bracket

and right bracket.

Take the ﬁrst bracket and place it on the

mounting board so that it is placed over

the bracket centre line and slide it until

the lower screw hole is centred on this

line. Mark the centre point of this hole.

Fixing the Brackets

1.3 Remove the bracket and drill a 4mm

diameter hole at the position just

marked.

Fix the bracket using one of the ﬁxing

screws supplied. Similarly drill the other

three holes (one on top) and screw in

the other screws. Repeat for the other

bracket, see Fig 1.3.

Installation Consideration

1.4. Place the Right Swivel arm in

position on the Right Mounting bracket

and align their holes, Fig 1.4.

1.5. From the outer edge, guide the

Hinged swivel pin through the arm and

bracket holes and push in completely,

Fig 1.5.

Repeat this procedure with the Left

Swivel arm and the Left mounting

bracket using the other Hinged

swivel pin.

1.6. The installation will now be at the

stage shown in Fig 1.6.

Attaching the Springs

1.7. Slide the Ladder sub-frame carrier

bar into the hole in one of the

sub-frame carrier tubes, see Fig 1.7.

Now slide the two spring eyelets onto

the bar.

1.8. Slide the other end of the carrier

bar into the corresponding hole on the

other sub-carrier tube, Fig 1.8.

There is groove near each end of the

bar for the purpose of holding the

spring in place when installed, see

Fig 1.8 (inset). Locate each spring in

these grooves.

1: Install the Loftmaster

Extending the Springs

The next step is to anchor the free end

of the spring to its anchor point on the

hinged swivel pin.

Lay the swivel arms back so they are

horizontal. Hook a loop of strong string

to the end of the spring.

1.9. Lift the sub-frame carrier tube

above the horizontal and pull the string

to extend the spring so that it reaches

and clips on to the hinged swivel pin,

see Fig 1.9 and inset for close-up of

spring on the pin. Remove the string.

1.10. Now slide the spring eyelet along

the pin so that it locates in the groove

on the pin, see Fig 1.10. Repeat for the other

spring.

1.11. The installation will now be at the

stage shown in Figure 1.11.

Important!

Be very careful when carrying out the next

stage as there is no ladder to stop the

sub-frame from swinging forward with

considerable force if it is moved inadvertently.

1.12. Pull down on the sub-frame

carrier bar until it touches against its

stop.

1.13. The tensioned springs will hold it

in this position, see Fig 1.13.

Adjusting the Ladder Length

1.14. The ladder length can be extended by

15cm or 30cm from its minimum length to

best suit your ﬂoor-to-ﬂoor height.

The adjustment tube is shown in Fig 1.14:

a. Minimum length - no extension

b. Extended by 15cm

c. Extended by 30cm

Remove the two bolts from the endcaps

and have them ready to ﬁx the swivel

arms to the ladder at step 1.21.
