Arke 5199, Assembly Instructions Manual

(C67). Use components C58, B12, B83 and B02 (fig. 1). 

25. Identify the handrail sections not marked with the colour red (A13), and those marked with the colour red (A14),  
 

which will be used for the landing (E02) (fig. 9).

26. Start to shape the handrails (A13) which are not marked with the colour red, trying to give them a curvature 
 

which follows as closely as possible that of the staircase (fig. 1).

27. Starting from the baluster (C67) from the landing (E02), begin to fix the handrail (A13) which you have just 
 

shaped. Use the C64 components, with the screwdriver. Warning: position the handrail so that the joining line of 

the surface covering is facing downwards.

28. Unite the other handrail segments (A13), screwing them, gluing them (glue X01) and shaping them in 
 

succession. Use components B33 and D35. Orientate the thicker part of item D35 so that it faces outwards.

29. Cut the excess handrail with a hack-saw so that it corresponds with the first baluster (C67) on the staircase. 
30. Complete the handrail (A13), fixing component A12 using components C64 and the glue (X01) (fig. 1).
31. Insert the steel cables F30 into the items C69 present on the balusters. Lock the cables onto one of the two 
 

ends with items D37 and C76, leaving 5mm of the cable protruding from item D37.Tighten the cables by 

hand and lock them with items D37 and C76. Cut off the cable at a distance of 5 mm from item D37. Screw on 

components D36, which protect users from the cables. Warning: to cut the cables, we suggest that you use 

suitable shears, and that you wrap adhesive tape around the part of the cable to be cut so that it will not 

unravel.

32. Check the line of the handrail (A13) and, if necessary, correct it by using a rubber hammer.
33. Complete the assembly of the handrail, inserting components C78 into the side part of the steps (fig. 1).

Assembling the balustrade

34. Assemble column (C73) onto component G01, which protrudes from the landing (E02) , orientating items C69 
 

outwards, using components D49 (fig. 8) (fig. 1).

35. Position components F34, using items C58, B83, B02, on the landing (E02). Drill a hole in the landing (E02) 
 

using a Ø 5 bit and maintaining a distance between the holes which is similar to that between the balusters 

(C67) of the banister which you previously assembled. 

36. Position the shortest balusters (C68) and tighten items B02 onto components F34 (fig. 1).
37. Fix component A15 onto the column (C73) using component B02 (fig. 1).
38. Fix the handrail (A14) marked with the colour red, using components C64 (fig. 1).
39. Insert the steel cables F30 into the items C69 present on the balusters. Lock the cables onto one of the two 
 

ends with items D37 and C76, leaving 5mm of the cable protruding from item D37. Tighten the cables by 

hand and lock them with items D37 and C76. Cut off the cable at a distance of 5 mm from item D37. Screw on 

components D36, which protect users from the cables. Warning: to cut the cables, we suggest that you use 

suitable shears, and that you wrap adhesive tape around the part of the cable to be cut so that it will not 

unravel.

40. According to the position and the existence of walls around the stair-well, it may be necessary to position one or 
 

two extra balusters (C68) (fig. 10).

41. In this case it is necessary to consider a space which would be equidistant from the other balusters or from the 
 

walls. To fix them, we recommend drilling a hole in the (E02)  landing with a Ø 5 bit and using components F34, 

C58, B83 and B02, while the floor will need holes drilled with a Ø 14 bit and uses components F34, B02 and 

B13 (fig. 11). If it is necessary to join the landing banister to the floor banister ( Fig. 10), shape the handrails 

carefully, forming curves which match up. If wrinkles should form on the inside of the handrails, it is not a defect. 

Rub them energetically (generating heat) with a paper tissue until they go away.

Final Assembly

42. To further strengthen the staircase at intermediate points, fix the components F09 to the wall, and join them to 
 

the balusters (C68) using components F33. Drill the holes with an Ø 8 bit and use components C50, C49, C58, 

and B12 (fig. 12).
