Secure the Track to the Stair Treads
When the track is installed, there should be a 1" gap
between the underside of the track and the stair
nosings and 1/4" to 1/2" off the lower landing floor.
The track should be at least 4" away from the wall
or other obstruction.
Install rail brackets by loosening the screws and
snapping each bracket edge into the slot or slide
the brackets on from the top of the rail. The rail
brackets are designed to lean the track toward the
wall to offset the weight of the unit and user,
therefore, the nuts on brackets should be on the
staircase side (toward the middle of the stair-
case).
Place one bracket on first tread, one on the top
tread, and one bracket immediately above and
below each splice. Then use the other brackets to
support any section of track left unsupported and
measuring greater than 48".
Fasten each bracket to the treads with (4) #14 X
2" hex head lag screws.
