1. Position rail mounting legs on steps.
The number of
legs and spacing will be determined by the overall length
and number of pieces of rail.
[Figure 5-1]
2. Set the lower section of rail into the mounting legs.
The clamps fit into a small channel on the bottom of the rail.
DO NOT
fully tighten the clamps at this time.
[Figure 5-2]
3. If your lift has multiple rail sections, splice them
together
using the supplied splice bars and screws. The
alignment pins will come pre-installed in one of the rail
sections.
[Figure 5-3]
Before sliding rail sections together be sure to plug together
the charge wires running inside the rail. After tightening
the splice bar screws slide down the sections of gear rack to
avoid gaps.
4. Position the rail and mounting legs on the stairs
until
you obtain the desired dimension from the nose of the
steps to the underside of the rail. This dimension is noted on
your specific installation drawing.
[Figure 5-4]
The bottom end of the rail should be no more than ½” off
the floor; a short leg secures the bottom. After ensuring the
rail is in the proper location, anchor the legs with the four
#14 wood lags provided with each leg.
The top end of the rail will typically stop short of the top
landing and never needs to extend beyond.

install procedures..
NOTE:
.If your lift was ordered with the rail
pre-cut to length, a drawing for your specific
installation will detail the leg locations.
