II. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
A. DETERMINE OVERALL RAIL LENGTH (Only if track did not come pre-cut to length)
Step 1:
Determine any obstructions that will affect the position and length of the rail. These may include walls,
doors, hallway orientation, etc.
Step 2:
Measure the overall length of the stairs from the nose at the top landing of the stairs to the floor at the
bottom (nose to floor measurement, e.g., 128”, see image below).
Step 3:
For a normal stairway with adequate space for a landing, add 13” to the nose to floor measurement. This
will provide enough rail length to allow the stair lift to be adjusted so that the floor-to-seat height will be the
same at both the top and bottom (e.g., 141”).
Step 4:
If the top landing has restrictions (i.e., a wall or doorway), use the chart below to determine the length of
extension that should be used.
Step 5:
To cut the rail, use a standard 12” chop saw, with a blade designed to cut aluminum.
Do not cut rail
inside the house (aluminum chips are very hard to remove from carpets).
tiP!
DO NOT cut the end of the rail that contains the joint holes.
Remove the charger strips and wire harness before cutting.
