Laying out the Components
Each complete stairlift consists of the carriage box, the chair box, the kit
box and several rail sections. A Kitting List is included in the kit box
detailing all of the parts you have received.
Remove any protective packaging from the components.
It is usually best to start at the bottom of the stairs, and work your way
upstairs.
Layout the equipment in the order in which it will be installed, making sure
you have all the necessary components. This will include major items, as
well as fastenings (such as spirol pins, nuts/bolts) and tools (mole grips and
clamps).
Tip.
Paint can build up in the pre drilled and tapped holes in the racking on the top
and the bottom rail assembly sections. You will use these holes later on in the
installation to connct the 0v side of the charge circuit. Clean these holes with a 5mm
tap to ensure an easy fit when rail is set close to wall.
Assembling the rail
The leg bases provide stability to the stairlift and maintain it at the correct
height about the ground. Place the correct leg bases onto the correct steps
using the information contained in the table on the installation drawing.
Lower the rail support legs of the first (lowermost) rail assembly into the leg
bases which will hold it in place. If there is the space it may be easier to
place all rail assembly pieces into the relevant leg bases
but do not join
yet .
If possible, thread the charge current cable through the bottom rail tube of
each section now. If not possible you will have to thread the dc cable
through each section as you go along. If intermediate charge points are
required holes will be drilled into the underside of the bottom rail to enable
the charge current cable to exit and enter the rail at these points.
Clamp the rail support legs of the first rail
assembly at the correct height on the leg
bases (as needed) using vice grips with
suitable padding. The legs should be
clamped to ensure that the rail stands
level vertically. The leg height shown on
the Installation Drawing is only an
approximate guideline.
