FITTING THE RAIL
1. Determine the correct length for the rail by
measuring along a straight line placed on
the stairs. (SEE STEP 2 IN THE APPLICATION
GUIDE, next page) To that amount, add
Measurement B (STEP 4 IN THE APPLICATION
GUIDE). This process will allow you to custom
fit the elevator to your customer by determining
the most comfortable seat-to-floor height within
the space available at the top of the stairs.
NOTE: The rail must rest approximately 1/2"
to
1" above nosing of the steps and
extend from the lower floor to a point
beyond the nosing of the top step (see
Application Guide Step 4).
In some cases where the bottom
landing is made of material such as
concrete, ceramic tile or slate, the last
bracket on the landing may be omitted
with a bracket added on the second step
from the bottom and top of stairway.
