FOLDING RAIL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES STEP 1: Orient the two track brackets onto the folding rail as shown at right, with the nuts on the same side as the folding mechanism (for either left or right folding).

  • Page 18 folding rail installation STEP 7: Retrofits to existing stair lifts, measure how much you’ve marked to cut from the upper section, but don’t cut it at the splice because you’ll need to keep the countersunk holes. Instead, remove the very top cap and cut it from the top of the very top track piece. Loosen the remaining brackets and slide the tracks all up so the new cut part is at the top where the old part was.
  • Page 19 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.
