Installation Procedures
II. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
A. DETERMINE OVERALL RAIL LENGTH (Only if track did not come pre-cut to length)
Step 1: Determine obstructions that will affect the position and length of the rail, such as walls, doors, hallway
orientation, etc.
Step 2: Measure the overall length of the stairs from the nose at the top landing to the floor (nose to floor
measurement, e.g., 128
"
, see image below).
Step 3: For a normal stairway with adequate landing space, add 7
"
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
"
).
Step 4: If the top landing has restrictions (i.e., a wall or doorway), use the chart below to determine the length of
extension needed.
Step 5: To cut the rail, use a standard 12
"
chop saw, with a blade designed to cut aluminum. 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.
