Installation Tips:

 

1.

 

A miter saw with high tooth count carbide 
blade can be used to cut the aluminum. Cut 
slowly and use all safety precautions

 

2.

 

If your installation requires that the rails be 
cut, be sure to double check all 
measurements before cutting.

 

3.

 

Only use the fasteners provided in the railing 
kit. Do not overtighten the screws.  

4.

 

Applying paint, other than manufacturer’s 
touch up paint, will void the warranty. 

5.

 

The screws included require a T25 torx drive 
bit, which is not included in the railing kit. 

6.

 

Foot block assembly is manufactured for a 2” 
gap between the mounting surface and the 
bottom rail. 

7.

 

All fasteners are self-tapping, we recommend drilling pilot holes with a 1/8” bit 
(not included).
