Installing The Rail; Fitting The Legs And Brackets - ThyssenKrupp Flow2A Installation Manual

2 Installing the rail

During the preassembly you fit the entire rail together without fixing it to the stairs.
1. Sort the rail sections, brackets and legs by number (refer to the installation drawing).
2. Assemble the rail section for section from the bottom of the stairs to the top:
a. Fit the relevant legs and brackets to the rail section.
b. Insert a section bush into the upper end of the rail section.
c. Lay the rail section in position and draw the feeder cable for the charging contacts through
the rail section. When charging contacts are to be fitted to the relevant rail section make
sure that the feeder cable projects from the position of the charging contacts, and then
draw the remainder through the rail section.
d. Slide the rail section over the section bush of the previous rail section and clamp the
section bush.
e. Drive a locking pin into the rack coupling.
f. Repeat steps a to e inclusive for the next rail section.
g. Fit a cap to the top and bottom ends of the rail.
h. Assemble and install the charging contacts.
i. Connect the transformer.
j. Position the rail.
NOTE

The above is a recommended sequence. Usually, assembly from the bottom to the
top will be preferable; however, this is not always the case. Decide for yourself which
one you find is the simplest.
CAUTION

Ensure that the locking pin is securely seated in the rack coupling, it must not
protrude underneath the rail.

2.1 Fitting the legs and brackets

Three types of brackets are used:

Floor brackets (for a vertical stop at the bottom of the stairs).

Tread brackets (on the stairs).

Landing brackets (for landings and horizontal sections).
CAUTION

Fit the legs and brackets solely to the rail sections. Do not fix them to the stairs yet.
