Pinnacle 101 Stair Lift
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
A. DETERMINE OVERALL RAIL LENGTH
(Only if rail did not come pre-cut to length)
1:
Determine any obstructions that will affect the
position and length of the rail. These may include
walls, doors, hallway orientation, etc.
2:
Measure the overall length of the stairs from the
nose at the top landing of the stairs to the floor at
the bottom (nose to floor measurement, (128").
[Figure 4-1]
3:
For a normal stairway with adequate space for a
landing, add 13" to the nose to floor measurement.
This will provide enough rail length to allow
the stair lift to be adjusted so that the floor-to-
seat height will be the same at both the top and
bottom (e.g., 141").
4:
If the top landing has restrictions (i.e., a wall or
doorway), use the chart below to determine the
length of extension that should be used.
5:
To cut the rail, use a standard 12” chop saw,
with a blade designed to cut aluminum.

TIP
Do not cut rail inside the house (aluminum
chips are very hard to remove from carpets)
TIP
DO NOT cut the end of the rail that contains the joint holes.
Remove the charger strips and wire harness before cutting.
