Place the bottom rail support (G) on
the nose of the tread that is nearest the
center of the section. Trace the bottom
of the beam onto the bottom rail support
and cut the support to match the angle.
Place the cut support in position under
the center of the bottom beam. Now
drill through the beam perpendicular to
the tread surface using a 3/16” bit. It is
necessary to drill the beam so the bolt
will be positioned at the front edge of the
bottom rail support to prevent the beam
from bowing during installation (Fig. 14).
Secure the bottom rail support using the
supplied screw (I).
Snap the bottom beam cover (E) in place
on bottom beam (D) (Fig. 15).

Insert a baluster in the first and last routs
of the bottom beam cover (E) (Fig. 16).
Snap the top beam cover (E) onto the
top beam (C).
Place the top beam (C) onto the two
balusters you installed, allowing the top
beam (C) and beam cover (E) to extend
past the top and bottom post (Fig. 17).

Now, adjust rail until the balusters are
plumb (Fig. 18). Mark the top beam (C)
and beam cover (E) on the angle at the
top and bottom post (Fig. 19).
