folding rail installation
STEP 14:
Install and adjust the height of the two feet using a 9/16 open end wrench.
Set them so that both rest on the floor with the rail fully straight. The foot farther
from the wall should be set a little taller than the inside one to get it to seat flat on the
floor, since the Pinnacle track brackets intentionally lean the track toward the wall just
a little.
STEP 15:
If you’re installing the feet onto carpet, you may want to screw-down a piece of
wood or metal to make the feet seat reliably. Otherwise, you can set the lift at the bottom of
the rail and let it compress the carpet for a day, and then re-adjust the feet.
STEP 16:
Carefully move the fork with your hand (don’t get pinched!) To make sure it
operates smoothly. Watch it go to the floor. Make sure both feet sit fully on the floor. Make
sure the hinge-joint is going fully straight.
STEP 17:
Follow the normal procedure for installing track brackets and tightening
them. This procedure (not shown here) is detailed in the Pinnacle Installation Manual.
STEP 18:
Begin to install the folding rail parts onto the Pinnacle chassis. Shown here is just a bare Pinnacle
chassis, to make the pictures more clear.
First, with a 5/16” Allen wrench, remove the two large black cap screws from the wall-side of the unit, then install
the folding rail side-plate, but don’t tighten them yet.
STEP 19:
Install the #8 screw, then tighten it and the two Allen head bolts. If your
Pinnacle stair lift is still installed on the track, you’ll have to use a short wrench and
maybe a right-angle screwdriver.
