Installation Procedures for Stock Units
Track Installation: Track and rack should be cut
before
installing them on the staircase
If your track was factory cut, skip ahead to page 7.
Tracks are packaged in individual boxes. You will generally have 2
-
3 sections of track with steel gear
rack, (4
-
6) track mounting brackets located in a small parts box located in seat box, and 1
-
2 sets of
splice bars already pre
-
mounted on the track.
Note:
The upper and lower ends of the track sections are marked top & bottom.
The gear racks and
charge strips are already inserted in the track.
Look up the stairs and determine if the track is to be installed on the left side or right side.
The gear rack should always be located on the right side of the track regardless of which side of the
stairs the track is mounted.
Measure the distance from the top nose of the staircase to the
bottom floor and add
7”
(note: be sure to verify clearance from
top nose to any obstruction at the top such as a door or door
frame that would cause the chair to hit or block the seat from
swiveling.)
It may be necessary to ramp the track away from
the obstruction, consult factory for assistance if needed.
Do not cut through the charge strip, remove or slide the it out
of the way. Cut the track at the top, leaving the factory cuts at
all other sections.
Cut the gear rack flush with the top of track.
