Three Rail Installation (192¼ -288 inches)
1. Determine if the lift will be installed on the right or
left side of the staircase.
[Figure 11-1]
When deciding on which side of the staircase to
install the lift, consider:
•
Which side offers access to an electrical outlet?
•
Which side has protruding obstructions such as
handrails or wall or window trim?
•
Is there a doorway at the top or bottom?
2. Determine top and bottom of rail. The teeth of the
gear rack must face toward the wall nearest to where
the lift will be installed.
3. Remove the charge strips and wiring from the rail.
4. Cut the rail to length at the top and bottom ends.
5. Replace charge strips into both ends of the rail
routing the wire through the main interior channel.
[Figure 11-2]
CAUTION
Before cutting the rail, remove the
gear rack, charge strips and wire
from the rails that are to be cut.
TIP
When removing the gear rack DO NOT
remove the screws from the gear rack. If
you do, the fastening plate will become
lost within the channel and the gear
rack will need to be removed.

TIP
Remember to keep the factory cuts
together at the splice joints to assure
the smoothest transition.
