 off the bottom landing. 

This will prevent the track from hitting the floor 

later when the track brackets are tightened.
Step 8:

 With bracket resting on step, position track

bolt in upper half of track bracket slot.

Step 9: 

Starting with the bottom step, screw the 

bracket half-way down – remove placed obstruction 

used to raise track – and finish by securely attaching 

bracket to the step.

Step 10:

 Securely tighten remaining track brackets 

to the steps using provided wood screws.

Step 11:

 Track is designed to lay directly on the 

step noses, or it can be supported

completely by the track brackets.

Step 12:

 Pull a piece of string taut from the 

top of the track to the bottom. Mark any places 

where the string is not parallel with the track. 

Check the results by using the string again. Track 

and string should now be parallel.
The wall-side of the track may be pulled down 

further than the stair side of the track on 

steps with thick carpeting/pad. 

Final track 

adjustment should occur after the unit is 

installed.

The track should still move vertically in the 

bracket slots for final adjustment.
