2) Place the Outside Stair Bracket (38) in line with the two holes on the inside of the Main Stair 
Support so that it is closest to the support tube, as shown in Figure 19. Use the following hardware 
to attach the bracket to the main stair support:  1/2” x 1.5” Hex Head Bolt (31), 1/2” Flat Washer 
(17), 1/2” Nylon Washer (22), 1/2” Nylon Washer (22), 1/2” Flat Washer (17), 1/2” Lock Washer 
(18), and a 1/2” Hex Nut (20), see Detail A. Do not fully tighten yet. After all hardware has been 
attached tighten each bolt securely.  
 
Second, place the Inside Stair Bracket (39) on the opposite side and repeat the steps to mount it 
securely to the slide. 
 
Add another set of inside and outside brackets and repeat the hardware steps to attach them. The 
next outside bracket should be placed inside of the first bracket, and the next inside bracket should 
be placed outside of the first bracket. 
 
Note: Be sure to apply anti-seize to all fasteners to prevent galling.
