INSTALLATION.
Before installation can be initiated, the following basic measurements and conditions must be
observed.
According to enclosed drawing, it is important to locate the straight line X, starting from the top of the
staircase, called the top nose, down on top of the highest step and finally ending in point Xon the
floor.
We already have the slope of the staircase, determined at order time.
Using enclosed table, we can now find the two measurements aand b.
Measure ais the angular distance from line Xto the upper side of the main rail.
Measure bis the angular distance between the lower side of the main rail and the upper side of the
supporting rail.

Installing the main rail.
When measuring from the upper side
of the supporting rail, remember to
suptract the thicknes of the supporting
rail from measure a.
Always take an angular measurement.
Use the supporting rail to establish
the line X. Make sure the rail is hold
tight on the top nose. The hi
ghest step
further down will then determine the
slope of line
X.
Always take min. 3 angular
measurements down the line to
position the main rail as accurate
as possible.
Remove cover on main rail,
to get access to the tooth
bar.
Mount ajustable supports for
lining up. (not standard).

Main rail with two supports.
Main rail is adjusted on the
two supports so the marking
on the wall, fits along with
the upper side of the main
rail.
The end of the main rail
should be vertical above the
top nose of the staircase.
Supporting rail.
Check for free space.
Make sure that nothing
exeeds the main rail

The main rail is now installed.
Drill all the holes.
Diameter: 12 mm.
Depth: min. 100 mm.
Insert: Plugs U12
and tight with screw:
M10 x 90.
In this situation,
a special designed
rail support is needed
for the lower end of
the main rail.
Support used: Type V

Installation of Main -and Supporting rails are completed.
The angular distance bfrom
under side of main rail to upper
side of supporting rail, is
marked.
The supporting rail should
reach the ground/floor.
Drill all the holes.
Diameter: 8 mm.
Depth: min. 100 mm.
Insert: Plugs U8
and tight with screw:

Installing support wheels on the lift body.
Drill a hole that points direct to
the midle of the supporting rail.
See next picture.

vertical, and this hole must
point directly to middle of the
support rail.
Use a spirit level, for the
horizontal alignment .
Tight this bolt in each side.
