Instruction Manual for No.1 Putnam Rolling
Ladders and Hardware
Step 1: Rail Installation
Special application notes/cautions:
• Leave at least 7” of clearance between
the center of the rail and the ceiling, crown
molding or other overhanging protrusions
when the ladder is in the stored position
(close to the wall/cabinet/bookshelf). In the
climbing position, a minimum 3” clearance
between the center of the rail and any upper
cabinet doors is required to be able to open
the upper cabinet doors (see figure 1).
• Do not mount rail brackets directly onto a
drywall surface. Always mount these brackets
to solid wood, pre-drilling the holes in the
wood is advisable to avoid splitting the wood.
• Do not use rail brackets as a splice between
2 rails (instead, use the supplied wooden
dowels for this purpose)
• Do not use hook-style ladder hardware with
curved rails.
1. Establish the height where the center of the rail is to be installed, then mark the
location where the mounting bracket will be located. Verify with a quality leveling
device that the horizontal locations of the brackets are level and true.

Step 1: Rail Installation
Special application notes:
• Do not mount rail brackets directly onto a drywall
surface. Always mount these brackets to solid
wood, predrilling the holes is advisable to avoid
splitting the wood.
• Clearance requirements:
• Ladder in the stored position (close to the
wall/cabinet/bookshelf). Leave at least
2 ½” of clearance between the top of the
rail and the ceiling, crown molding or other
overhanging protrusions (figure 1).
• Ladder in the climbing position, a minimum 1”
clearance between the top of the rail and any
upper cabinet doors is required to be able to
open these doors (figure 2).
