Installation Instructions
Before installing your new BE-119 Stairway, contact your local Building Code Office to insure
this product meets your local building codes. Please read and understand the following:
1. This product is designed for residential use
only. Failure to read and follow all directions,
improper installation and/or usage, could result in
serious personal injury or property damage. Installa-
tions that produce heavy usage or above normal
stresses on this stair are not recommended. Suggest-
ed weight capacity is 350 Ibs. Simple carpentry skills
are required to install this stair, seek professional help
if you do not possess these skills.
2. After removing from carton, inspect stairway for
damage, such as broken or split wood parts, or
missing parts. If these are observed, return unit to
your supplier for exchange.
3. Do not disassemble stair to install, it is completely
assembled.
4. Make certain you read and follow all the installa-
tion instructions and warning labels, as these are
designed to assist you in making a safe installation,
extend the life of the stair and prevent personal
injury.
5. Secure using only 1/4 x 2" lag screws (provided)
through pre-drilled installation holes. (See Figure 7.)
The use of sheet rock screws, deck screws or
finish nails are prohibited, which can cause
the stairway to suddenly fall from the open-
ing possibly causing serious bodily injury.
6. Our stairways are manufactured for four maxi-
mum heights: 8'9", 9'3", 10' and 10'6". All units
require cutting off the bottom section to fit the floor.
Be sure to select proper unit for your ceiling height.
7. After cutting off bottom section to fit the floor,
have someone stand on the second or third step
from the bottom and inspect the side rails to make
certain there are no gaps between the hinged
sections. All three sections should form a straight
line. (See Figure 10 for correct stair alignment.)
8. The coil springs at the top of the stair are under
extreme pressure and should never be removed
Keep all nuts & bolts tight!!! For residential use only!!!

unless absolutely necessary, and then with extreme
caution in removing and replacing spring; do this
with the stair in the closed position, as there is less
tension on the springs. During life of stair, periodic
checks should be made of all wood and metal parts
for wear and possible tightening. Spring arms,
section hinges and all riveted metal joints should be
lubricated periodically for easier operation and
longer life. If for any reason, any of the wood,
metal, or other components of the stairway show
signs of excessive wear or looseness, they should be
replaced.
9. Face the stair when going up or down - use
handrail at all times. Close when you are through
using it. Caution: handrail is for maintaining user' s
balance only and is not load bearing. Failure to
return stairway sections back to their full closed
position before closing door panel may result in
damage to stairway and/or severe personal injury.
Do not use the pull cord to swing the door panel
upward when closing. Do not leave stair unattend-
ed when children are present. Persons with limiting
abilities, such as muscular or nerve impairment,
weak bones or joints, or other limiting abnormalities
should not climb or use this product.
10. Due to the distance between the operator' s
personal height and the room' s ceiling height and
the weight of the stairway, it is possible that some
persons may experience difficulty in raising and
lowering the attic stairway. It is recommended that
all persons obtain assistance from another person in
stairway raising and lowering activities so any such
difficulty is safely remedied.
11. Do not use the stair if it is damaged in any way.
Any damage, gaps or defections should be correct-
ed.
(Consult factory or local dealer for replacement
parts or unit). Failure to follow instructions or warn-
ings can lead to sudden stairway collapse and
severe personal injury.
