BEFORE YOU START

Pre-Installation Checklist

□ Is there any visible damage to the packaging? If so, immediately contact the freight

carrier and report the damage.

□ The side of the stairs on which the unit and track will be installed are marked on

the chassis and seat boxes. Verify that you have received the correct hand unit (as

looking up from the bottom of the stairs).

□ Is a properly grounded 110 VOLT, 15 AMP (standard outlet), available within 10'of

the top of the track?

□ Have you “pulled” the necessary permits in your area for installation?

□ Are your stairs made of wood? If not, special mounting hardware will be required.

Contact your dealer for assistance.

□ The track will extend 6"beyond the top step. Is there a door or other obstruction at

the top that will interfere? If so, contact your dealer for assistance.

□ If after reading the instructions, you don’t feel capable or comfortable with

completing the stair lift installation, please contact your dealer for assistance

in 󲡴nding a quali󲡴ed installer in your area.

INSTALLING THE LOWER TRACKS

Step 1: Carry the seat box and unit box to the top step and leave aside.

Step 2: Bring the track box to the lower landing

of the staircase. Open the box and remove the

track, track brackets and small parts package.

Step 3: In the small parts package

you will 󲡴nd:

a) track brackets bolts

b) wood screws

c) 2 self-drilling screws

d) call control extension cord and bracket

Step 4: Identify the bottom track section. It will have a metal end plate at

one end. Lay the lower track section on the steps as shown in the picture above.

Step 5: Use the track bracket bolts to fasten brackets to

nuts in the track channel.

Position track brackets as follows:

a) 1 bracket pair on bottom step

b) 1 bracket pair on top step

c) 1 bracket pair above and below where the tracks

splice together

Hand tighten the bolts only - the brackets will need to

slide for correct positioning.

Step 6: Splice bars are used to join the track sections

together. Locate the splice bars and loosen the set screw

from their shipping position. Slide the spice bars to half

way and tighten the two set screws remaining in the track

to hold them in place. The tracks will not slide together if

the set screws protrude beyond the splice bar.

Note

Attach a bracket on the bottom

nut, but leave the nut second

from the bottom unused - it will

be used later.

Caution:

Do not put your 󲡴ngers between the track

sections at any time as injury could occur.

Step 7: Slide the upper track section onto the

lower track section. Tighten the splice bar set

screws to lock tracks together.

Step 7: Slide the track and brackets toward the

wall or molding. The edge of the track needs to

be positioned 3 1

2"from the wall. If there is an

obstruction on the wall; ie: handrail, window sill,

etc; the track will need to be positioned 3 1

out further than the obstruction. Temporarily set

something (like a book) under the bottom of the

track to raise it 1

2"– 3

4"off the bottom landing.

This will prevent the track from hitting the 󲡷oor

later when the track brackets are tightened.

Step 8: With bracket resting on step, position track

bolt in upper half of track bracket slot.

Step 9: Starting with the bottom step, screw the

bracket half-way down – remove placed obstruction

used to raise track – and 󲡴nish by securely attaching

bracket to the step.

Step 10: Securely tighten remaining track brackets

to the steps using provided wood screws.

Step 11: Track is designed to lay directly on the

step noses, or it can be supported

completely by the track brackets.

Step 12: Pull a piece of string taut from the

top of the track to the bottom. Mark any places

where the string is not parallel with the track.

Check the results by using the string again. Track

and string should now be parallel.

The wall-side of the track may be pulled down

further than the stair side of the track on

steps with thick carpeting/pad. Final track

adjustment should occur after the unit is

installed.

The track should still move vertically in the

bracket slots for 󲡴nal adjustment.

control bracket to the second nut up from the

bottom just above the bottom track bracket.

Step 2: Route the wire through the top track

channel on the wallside of the track.

Step 3: At the top of the middle section of track,

of the box down and slide the unit and top track to the edge of the steps.

Step 2: Remove cardboard packing from back of

Step 4: Loosen the splice bars from their

shipping position and slide them out to half

way. Tighten the splice bars.

Step 5: Slide the upper track section onto

the lower track section. Tighten the splice

bar set screw bracket to lock tracks together.

The tracks will not slide together if the set

screws protrude beyond the splice bar.

Step 6: Attach track brackets to the side of the

top track section. Hand tighten.

SLACK CABLE RESET PROCEDURE

Step 1: During shipping, the slack cable device may engage and need to be

reset.

Step 2: With the unit and upper track section installed

and power cable unplugged, you will use the hand

crank to turn the motor belt that turns the cable drum.

The illustrations show overhead and cut-away

views of the unit.

Step 3: Place the manual hand crank onto the motor

shaft and rotate clockwise. This will slowly inch the unit up the track.

If you see the lift begin to move uphill or hear a click, that will tell you that the

slack cable has reset.

CAUTION:

Do not put

your 󲡴ngers

between the

track sections

at any time as

injury could

occur.
