F. Attach temporary supports boards "A" and "B" (1" x 4" x 32") with 2-1/2" wood screws (not included). Support "A" will be 3"
from the rough opening at the header/hinge end. Support "B" will be 8" from the rough opening at footer end. Be sure to
follow these board placement dimensions so the temporary support boards do not hinder the remaining installation steps.

STEP 2: PLACING THE ATTIC LADDER INTO THE ROUGH OPENING
Temperatures in attics can be much hotter than at home and outside temperatures. Extreme heat in attics can cause
heat exhaustion (e.g., dizziness, headaches, severe sweating, dehydration, cramps) that may impede your ability to
complete this installation (stay well hydrated). Installers must stay in verbal contact with each other.
Installer #2 is temporarily working around a floor opening and could fall. Appropriate care is needed to maintain
good balance and to keep a safe distance from the opening, when possible. Installer #2 should NOT store materials
on the attic ladder or the attic door as materials may fall when opening the door.
