5. Measure to verify that the underside of the rail is more
than 3" from the stair nose, both at the second step
bracket and at the upper bracket. If not, reposition the
brackets as needed. This clearance is required for the
stair lift footrest. In some installations, you may not be
able to get 3" or more with the standard stair-bracket,
Contact Atlas to get tall brackets.
See Figures 4-40 and 4-41.
6. Measure from the side of
the rail to the wall.
The minimum clearance
that will work with a
folding stair lift rail is 3".
Set the folding section of
the stair lift rails to a
distance of 3" from the
wall or more. This will
leave about 1/2" of
clearance at the ball of
the gas-spring.
See Figure 4-42.
3. Partially tighten the two nuts that position these on the
rail, using 1/2" wrench (deep socket preferred), so they
won't slide when you're test-fitting the position.
See Figure 4-38.
4. Place the rail onto the stairway with
the bottom bracket on the second
step, as shown.
NOTE: The bottom feet should approximately
rest on the floor with the rail straight, but they
will be adjusted later.
See Figure 4-39.
