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.
STEP 8: Retrofit to existing track, saw the track following the usual procedure,
described in the installation manual.
STEP 9: Measure from the side of the rail to the wall. The minimum clearance that
will work with a folding stair lift rail is 3 inches. Set the folding section of the stair lift
rails to a distance of 3 inches from the wall or more. This will leave about 1/2 inch of
clearance at the ball of the gas-spring.
STEP 10: Fasten down the near corner of the lower bracket using a drill that has
extensions at least ten-inches long and a 3/8" socket.
STEP 11: Measure from the side of the rail at the upper bracket of the folding rail.
Also set this at 3 inches or more. Screw down one corner of the bracket.
STEP 12: Install new or join to existing upper rail, following regular procedures
(this procedure is detailed in the Pinnacle Installation Manual (not shown). This
procedure includes plugging the battery charging wire harness for the folding rail
into the charging harness from the upper track. The charger itself can be plugged into
either the top rail (for the top of the stairs), or to the charge plug from the folding rail,
which comes out just higher than the folding mechanism for the bottom of the stairway.
STEP 13: Fasten down the other three bolts of both track brackets using the power drill
and long extension with the 3/8" socket.
Measure from bottom, cut
from the top
Measure and set to
three inches.
Don't cut off these holes!
