INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

C. CHASSIS INSTALLATION

Step 1:

Remove plastic bag from chassis box. Lift the chassis with the

manual override hole (on bottom) facing the downhill side of the stairs

and gently slide the chassis onto the rail until it makes contact with the

plastic rack. Do not let the chassis free fall down the rail.

Step 2:

Remove the safety tie and turn the red

“ON/OFF” switch to the “ON” position (I).

Step 3:

Use the installation switch (the black switch on the top of the

chassis) to move the chassis at least two (2) feet down the rail, pushing

gently on the chassis to ensure the chassis does not pull any rack to the top.

Step 4: Loosen, but do not remove, the four (4) seat-leveling bolts -

two (2) on each side of the chassis

—

and then align them vertically

using a level. Firmly tighten the two (2) bolts on the side of the chassis

facing the wall.

CAUTION!

Be careful not to trap fingers between the rail and the chassis.

CAUTION!

Do not ride on the chassis or lift until the install is complete.
