Ensure that each leg sits level
on the correct step. Adjust
until the rail is a
minimum
distance of 3 1/4” from
the nose of the step when
measured diagnonally.
We recommend the rail
should be mounted 4” from
the wall, however 2.5” will
suffice. 4” is recommended
due to slight flexing of the
chair back while the lift is in
use. Flexing varies from user
to user.
Ensure that the wall is vertical.
If not, base the distance from the innermost point of any post or newel (central pole or support
column) top or bottom.

Now that the railing is in place and the clearance distances are correct, tighten rails legs down to the
rail.
Don’t tighten to steps at this time.
