Attach Strut
1.
Remove the trim on the inside of the doorframe where the strut mounting bracket is to be installed.
NOTE:
Door trim removal is a requirement to prevent interference issues. The trim may be cut to length
and installed so that it ends 28
3/8
" above the floor on the strut side of the doorframe.
2.
Place the strut mounting bracket (Fig. 6A) into position. The mounting bracket should be flush against
the wall and the floor (Fig. 6B), but placed with a
1/2"
gap along the aluminum doorframe extrusion
(Figs. 6 and 7). The strut cover will have a
1/8"
clearance along the aluminum doorframe extrusion.
NOTE:
The floor under the strut mounting bracket has been removed for clarity.
3.
Secure the strut mounting bracket using eight screws, either #10 self-tapping screws (aluminum
stud wall construction) or #10 wood screws (wood stud wall construction). The screws should be of
appropriate length to penetrate the wall stud depth by at least 75 percent.
4.
Attach the strut (Fig. 6C) to the top of the step's cam angle load bracket. Push the end of the strut (Fig
8A) onto the ball stud (Fig. 8B) until it snaps into place.
NOTE:
The strut can be removed by using a flathead screwdriver to pry back the spring clip on the strut end.
