PREPARING THE RAIL
PREPARING THE RAIL
IMPORTANT!
Each section of rail must be mounted with two mounting brackets.
A mounting bracket must be placed on the next step directly above and below the rail splice joint.
The teeth of the gear rack must face toward the wall nearest to where the lift will be installed.
The rail should be installed 5 in. away from walls or obstructions.
1. Splice bars are inserted in one end of one rail section. Loosen the set screws with a 5/32" hex tool. Slide the
splice bar half-way out and re-tighten the set screws.

AFTER
NOTE: These steps are for connecting two rails. If you have more than two rails, follow steps 1-4 for each
rail before moving onto step 5.
TIP
It is easiest to prepare the rail in an
open environment such as a room or
outdoors unless maneuverability of
the full rail will be cumbersome.
