distance off all step noses:
• hardwood: 2” (5 cm)
• carpet: 2.5 (6 cm)
7. Slide the leg/rail unit off the step noses:
On hardwood floors:
at least 5 cm off all step noses.
On thick carpet
:
approximately 2.5" (6 cm) off all step noses so that
when the installation is complete, the rail will rest at
least 5 cm off the step noses. Remove the 16 mm
shim from the bottom of the rail.
8. Starting at the
bottom of the rail
, secure the legs
to
stair treads
with the hardware
provided.
NOTE: Screw in one bolt in the back foot of any 4
legs to lightly secure the rail to support the
carriage only (no load or passengers). The
legs will be fully tightened at a later stage.
9. Frequently check the measurements at the key locations
indicated to ensure proper positioning of the foot clamps.
10. Once the legs are positioned and
lightly secured
and
before installing the carriage,
stand at the top of the
staircase and look down the rail.
The rail should be straight and true.
If the rail is not straight and true, rest a builder's level on
the rail, or route a taut string from the top to the bottom
of the rail.
Measure the gap between the level or string and the
lowest point of the dip.
If this gap is greater than 6 mm, install 6 mm shims at
the low points or reposition the legs.
INSTALLATION ON CARPET
Before securing the foot clamp
assemblies with hardware, add a
16 mm shim under the bottom of
the rail.
POSITIONING FOOT CLAMP ASSEMBLIES (continued)
On hardwood stairs, drill a pilot
hole before inserting fasteners.
If a threaded fastener extends
below an exposed stair tread
trim it flush with pliers.
Bruno ships the stairway
elevator with fasteners
appropriate for wooden stair
treads only
. Other stair
material may require different
fasteners.
Please contact Bruno.
Carpet runners on the stairs?
If the installation calls for placing clamps half on a
carpet runner and half on a wood step, place a shim
under the clamp leg resting on the wood.
You do not have to shim both sides of the clamp!
Shim the leg resting on wood until that leg is at the
same height as the carpet.
