Lay the right hand stair side rails flat with tread channel cleats pointing up and insert the
treads into the channel cleats. Place on cardboard or other suitable surface to avoid
scratching the side rail. Make sure the tread is positioned with the traction ridges oriented
upward. Use a rubber mallet if needed to tap the tread into the tread channel cleat until the
holes in the cleat line up with the holes in the stair tread (FIG.1).

Install 5/16”-18 x 2-1/4” carriage bolts in the holes through the top side of the right hand
channel cleats. Use a rubber mallet to sink carriage bolts into holes. Install 5/16” washers and
nuts onto the carriage bolts on the bottom side of the channel cleats but do not tighten fully yet
