DETERMINE OVERALL RAIL
LENGTH
NOTE: Use this only if the rail did NOT come precut to
length)
1. Determine any obstructions that will affect
the position and length of the rail. These may
include walls, doors, hallway orientation, etc.
2. Measure the overall length of the stairs from
the nose at the top landing of the stairs to the
floor at the bottom (nose to floor
measurement). See Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1
3. For a normal stairway with adequate space
for a landing, add 7" to the nose to floor
measurement. This will provide enough rail
length to allow the stair lift to be adjusted so
that the floor-to-seat height will be the same
at both the top and bottom.

4. If the top landing has restrictions (i.e. a wall or
doorway), use the chart to determine the
length of extension that should be used.
See Figures 4-2 and 4-3.

5. To cut the rail, use a standard chop saw with a
12" blade designed to cut aluminum.
NOTE: Do not cut rail inside the house (aluminum chips
are very difficult to remove from carpets).
