Stromberg Carlson Products AM-200 Installation Instructions

Lend-A-Hand Assist Rail
WARNING: This rail will help you maintain your balance.
It is not designed to break your fall, but instead prevent it.
Always maintain contact with this rail when entering and
leaving your RV.
This rail shipped to you fully assembled. Please pivot the rail
brackets and test the lock prior to installing, to guarantee the
assembly integrity. This rail will only support its user as well as it
is attached to the coach.
For left hand mounting, 2 holes are offset to help you attach your
rail to a door stud. If you are replacing an existing Lend-A-Hand
Standard Assist Rail, the bolt hole pattern of the 2 right side
holes on your new rail are designed to match the existing hole
pattern for your original rail. The third hole (pictured on the
top left corner of the bracket – see Figure 1) is for OEM use and
is provided to add stability to the rail, but is not required for
aftermarket installation. If no stud is available at the mounting
hole locations, you may have to drill through the wall of the
coach and use large washers/backer plates for load distribution.

1. Determine if you are attaching your rail to the door stud, or
if you will need to back this installation with washers/plates.
2. Hold the rail at your chosen mounting height on the coach.
Mark the screw holes and drill 1/8" pilot holes. You may want
to put a dab of caulk in each hole before mounting the rail.
3. Drive screws into coach, attaching rail and hardware. There
is no reason to caulk around the plastic bracket.
NOTE: For right hand mounting situations, 1 hole is offset toward
your door to help you attach your rail to a stud. YOU WILL STILL
NEED TO UTILIZE THE 2 HOLES OFFSET TO THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THE BRACKET TO ENSURE SAFETY AND STABILITY. For all
holes, be sure to either attach into a wall/door stud. If no stud is
available at the mounting hole locations, you may have to drill
through the wall of the coach and use large washers/backer
plates for load distribution.
