Installing The Upper Rail - vimec V65 B.I. Original Instructions Manual

N.B.: The connection (Fig. 10/a) must be secured to
the wall before test operation of the stairlift.

3) INSTALLING THE UPPER RAIL

- Place the spacers (Fig. 11/a) (order them from the
Vimec service department since they are not included
in the supply package) at each end of the first section
of rail installed (Fig. 11/b) (bend) and lock them firmly
in position by turning the lever as shown (Fig. 11/c).
- Undo the handwheel (Fig. 12/a) and use a spirit level
(Fig. 12/b) to position the supporting arm (Fig. 12/c)
perfectly vertical. After adjustment, tighten the han-
dwheel firmly (Fig. 12/a).
- Place the upper rail (Fig. 13/a) on the spacers (Fig.
13/b) just fitted, and after checking that the com-
ponents are vertical (Fig. 13/c) tighten the screws
firmly (Fig. 13/d).
WARNING: The rail fixing screws (Fig. 13/d) must
be tightened to a torque of 6-7 daNm.
- Install all the remaining sections of rail except the
last one as just described, down to the bottom of the
staircase. If supplied, to proceed with rail connecting,
fit the charging station cable (Fig. 13/e) in the lower
guide.
- After assembly, use the black paint supplied to repair
any chips on the rails and seal the screws (Fig. 9/g)
and nuts (Fig. 9/h) of the busbar joint (where present)
with silicone.
