left side of the staircase. [Figure 9-1]
When deciding on which side of the staircase to install
the lift, consider:

Which side offers access to an electrical outlet?
•
Which side has protruding obstructions such as
handrails or wall or window trim?
•
Is there a doorway at the top or bottom?

gear rack must face toward the wall nearest to where
the lift will be installed.

the wire through the main interior channel. [Figure 9-2]
