Pinnacle 101 Stair Lift INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
A. DETERMINE OVERALL RAIL LENGTH
(Only if rail did not come pre-cut to length)
1: Determine any obstructions that will aect 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 oor at
the bottom (nose to oor measurement, (128").
[Figure 4-1]
3: For a normal stairway with adequate space for a
landing, add 13" to the nose to oor measurement.
This will provide enough rail length to allow
the stair lift to be adjusted so that the oor-to-
seat height will be the same at both the top and
bottom (e.g., 141").
4: If the top landing has restrictions (i.e., a wall or
doorway), use the chart below to determine the
length of extension that should be used.
5: To cut the rail, use a standard 12”chop saw,
with a blade designed to cut aluminum.
Figure 4-1
Installation Site Electrical Requirements - The lift shall be connected to a dedicated
120V 15A electrical circuit.
Extension

Horizontal intrusion on top landing
TIP
Do not cut rail inside the house (aluminum
chips are very hard to remove from carpets)
TIP
DO NOT cut the end of the rail that contains the joint holes.
Remove the charger strips and wire harness before cutting.

Pinnacle 101 Stair
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
B. RAIL INSTALLATION
1: Open the rail box and remove the contents.
2: Position the bottom rail (the rail with end plate
attached) directly on the stairs with the end plate
towards the bottom of the stairs and the plastic rack
facing up. Place an object that measures between
3/4 in and 1 in between end plate and the oor.
[Figure 5-1 and 5-2]
3: Position the two ends of the rail close together.
Locate and connect the plug on the ends of the two
power harnesses inside the two rail pieces. [Figure 5-3]
4: With the plastic rack facing up, slide the top
rail into the bottom rail and guide them together
using the pre-installed pins. Gently tap the top rail
if necessary to get them close together. Be cautious
not to pinch the power harness. [Figure 5-4]
5: Install two (2) joint fasteners and rmly tighten
with 3/16” Allen wrench. Then slide rack pieces
down to cover joint. [Figure5-5]
6: Turn over joined rails and install the remaining
two (2) joint fasteners and rmly tighten with 3/16”
Allen wrench. Then slide rack pieces down to cover
joint. [Figure 5-6]
7. Install rail brackets with label facing the wall by
loosening the screws and snapping each bracket
edge into the slot, or slide the brackets on from the
top of the rail. [Figure 5-7]
Figure 5-1
Figure 5-6Figure 5-5
Figure 5-4Figure 5-3
Figure 5-2
Figure 5-7
TIP
Use the chair box or another heavy object, like a toolbox, at
the bottom to prevent the rail from sliding down the stairs.
TIP
The brackets are tightened from one side only. It is
important that the bracket be installed with the nut side
facing the wall so when the rail is turned over to its correct
orientation the screws will be accessible.

8.
A. For double rails, the rst rail bracket should
be tightened in place so when turned over
the back of the bracket touches the rear of
the rst step from the bottom landing. The
second and third brackets should be placed
and tightened on the steps on each side
of the rail joint, again so the back of the
bracket touches the rear of the step. The
fourth and nal bracket should be placed
on the last step before the top landing,
again tightening it so it touches the front of
the rear of the last step.
B. Tighten the rst rail bracket in place so
when turned over the back of the bracket
touches the rear of the rst step from the
bottom landing. Place the other rail on
the last step before the top landing, again
tightening it so it touches the rear of the
last step.
9. Turn the rail right side up (plastic side facing up).
[Figure 6-1]
10. Measure any obstruction from the wall (this
may include handrails, molding, light switches,
etc.) and adjust the edge of the brackets an equal
distance from the wall. The minimum distance will
be 1/2" from the wall or any obstruction.
11. The underside of the rail must be at least 2"
above the stair tread nose to provide clearance
for the footrest. To achieve this 2" clearance move
the rail and bracket forward. Once the clearance is
2", tighten all bracket nuts to hold the brackets in
position. To maintain the 2" clearance, and to hold
the rail in place, secure the bottom bracket to the
rst step from the oor with 2" wood screws, using
a 3/8" nut driver on a 6-10”extension of a cordless
drill. [Figure 6-2 and 6-3]

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
C. CHASSIS INSTALLATION
1. Remove chassis from the box. Lift the chassis
with the manual override hole (on bottom) facing
the downhill side of the stairs and gently slide the
chassis onto the rail until it makes contact with the
plastic rack. DO NOT LET THE CHASSIS FREE FALL
DOWN THE RAIL.
2. Use the installation switch (the black switch on
the top of the chassis) to move the chassis at least
24" down the rail, pushing gently on the chassis to
ensure the chassis does not pull any rack to the top.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the four (4) seat-
leveling bolts two (2) on each side of the chassis)
and then align them vertically using a level. Firmly
tighten the two (2) bolts on the side of the chassis
facing the wall.
WARNING
Be careful not to trap ngers
between the rail and the chassis.
WARNING
Do not ride on the chassis or lift until
the install is complete.

D. FINAL RAIL INSTALLATION
1. Install the remaining plastic rack pieces in the
upper rail. [Figure 8-1]
2. Use a hacksaw or chop saw to cut the last plastic
rack piece ush with the rail end. Place something
on the oor to catch debris or mark and cut the
rack outside. [Figure 8-2]
The exposed, cut end of the plastic rack should be
facing the top end of the rail (the factory-cut side
should butt against the lower rack).
3. Slide the top limit cam into one of the cam slots
(it doesn’t matter which side), and tighten the
pre-inserted Allen screw with a 5/64”Allen wrench.
This will be used to set the nal upper limits for the
stair lift. [Figure 8-4]
4. Remove charging strip from the rail box.
Connect charging strip connector to the power
wire that runs through the center of the rail from
the lower charging strips. [Figure 8-3]
Insert the two (2) charger strips into the keyed slots
at the top of the rail (while standing on the top
landing looking down). The charging strip with the
red wire should be inserted into the left slot with
the metal strip facing out. The charging strip with
the black wire should be inserted into the right slot
with the metal strip pointing out. [Figure 8-3]
Bend the red and black wire tabs in toward the
center of the track.
Insert excess cable into the rail, leaving the pigtail
with the Molex connector on the outside.

TIP
Too much torque applied to these screws
may result in damage. Take your time and
apply grease to threads.
6. Install one of the rack pre-compression screws
in the threaded hole in the top plate of the rail, and
tighten it as rmly as possible by hand with a 5/32”
Allen wrench. [Figure 9-2]
There are two (2) kinds of pre-compression screws:
• 3/4” for rails under 12 ft
• 1” for rails over 12 ft
7. Plug in the power supply at either end of the
rail, depending on the closest or most convenient
location of a wall power supply. Minimize wire length
and intrusion. [Figure 9-3 & 9-4]

Pinnacle 101 Stair Lift INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
E. FOOTREST & SEAT INSTALLATION
1. Remove footrest from box and use the installation
switch to drive the chassis downward to a position
about 6" clear of the oor. This will provide a safe
area to install and adjust the footrest. Do not drive
the unit into bottom stop. [Figure 10-1]
2. Turn the red “ON/OFF”switch located on the top
of the chassis to the“OFF”position (0).
3. Position the footrest onto the two (2) seat-
leveling bolts on the outside of the chassis by
aligning the large opening at the slot ends of the
footrest. [Figure 10-2]
4. Ensure the footrest is fully engaged.
5. Check that the height of the seat base is
correctly set for the intended user. A seat height
guide is provided behind the plastic footrest
shroud. Consult with the client and use an existing
chair or walker with armrests as a guide.
If the height of the seat needs to be adjusted,
loosen and remove the four (4) bolts on the sides
of the seat base using a 5/32”Allen wrench. Adjust
the seat base up or down relative to the footrest
structure until the holes align, then replace and
securely tighten the four (4) bolts. [Figure 10-3]
6. Connect the footrest cable to the 6-pin
connector on the chassis. [Figure 10-4]
7. Position the keyed seat swivel post in the hole in
the seat base hole closest to the top of the stairs.
Securely tighten the two (2) bolts on the sides of the
hold using a 5/32”Allen wrench. [Figure 10-5]

Pinnacle 101 StairREMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
A. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
1. Press and hold the
appropriate directional
button on the front of the
hand control.
The chair lift will operate with
or without a rider. All safety
sensors on the chair lift are designed to continue
to operate in their normal mode. The LED light
indicator on the armrest will display the appropriate
color.
2. If the chair lift fails to respond, this may indicate
the batteries are discharged and need to be
replaced. Remove the back cover of the control and
replace with commonly available AAA batteries,
ensuring that the polarity is correct.
Remote Call/Send Control Operation
NOTE - If the key lock option is installed the key
switch on the arm of the chair must be in the “ON”
position to use the remote call/send control.
B. REMOTE CONTROL RE-PROGRAMMING
All call/send controls are factory programmed.
Re-programming is not normally necessary during
installation.
In the event that the remote call/send control needs
to be re-programmed, it is essential to program
BOTH controls in one programming cycle. Do so by
completing the following:
1. Start with the red“ON/OFF”switch in the “OFF”
position (0).
2. Disconnect the 6-pin footrest and 8-pin chair wire
harnesses from the chassis.
3. Press and hold the install switch (located on the
top of the chassis) in either direction.
4. Turn the red “ON/OFF”switch to the“ON” position
(I). Wait for circuit board to beep and then release
the install switch.
5. The lift will begin to beep rapidly (this means the
rst remote control is ready to program).
6. Press and release the“UP” or“DOWN”button of
the rst remote control (the rst remote control is
now programmed).
7. Press and release the“UP” or“DOWN”button
of the second remote control (the second remote
control is now programmed).
8. Upon completion, two beeps will indicate that
both remote controls have been programmed.
9. Turn the “ON/OFF”switch to the“OFF”position (0).
10. Connect the 6-pin footrest and 8-pin chair wire
harnesses to the chassis and then turn the red“ON/
OFF”switch to the“ON” position (I).

Pinnacle 101 Stair Lift COMPLETION PROCEDURES
Completion Procedures
A. TEST ARMREST CONTROL SWITCH
1. Ensure that the unit travels correctly by
operating the armrest control switch while
standing in front of the unit.
2. Depress the switch in the upstairs direction to
move up. The lift will begin to smoothly accelerate
upwards. The lift will continue to move upwards
as long as the switch
is depressed.
3. Release the switch and the lift will come to an
immediate stop.
4. Depress the switch in the downstairs direction
to move down. The lift will begin to smoothly
accelerate downwards.
5. Release the switch and the lift will come to an
immediate stop.
6. Run the chair all the way up and down the
rail to ensure that the top of the seat back has
at least a 1/2 in clearance from the wall and any
obstructions.
B. TIGHTEN BRACKETS
1. Install and fully tighten the rail bracket
mounting screws (three (3) screws per bracket). For
hardwood stairs, a pilot hole should be drilled rst.
For plywood or particle board stairs care must be
taken to prevent stripping.
C. SET UPPER AND LOWER TRAVEL LIMITS
1. Test the lower travel limit by operating the lift
downward, keeping the switch depressed. The unit
should begin to decelerate about 3 in from its nal
resting position and stop clear of the oor.
2. The nal stopped position can be adjusted
to accommodate the height of the user by
repositioning the limit cam located in a slot in the rail.
3. Use a 5/64”Allen wrench to loosen the set screw in
the limit cam. Adjust the limit cam up or down and
retighten the set screws. Repeat the above steps until
the lift stops in the desired position.
4. Repeat the above steps to set the upper limits.
For safety, the footrest should be set at least level
with the upper landing.
5. The optimum position is met when the seat
height above the oor is the same at the top and
bottom of the stairs.
D. TEST SAFETY STOP SWITCHES
1. Safety stop switches are located in both the
upward and downward ends of the chassis
providing protection from obstructions on the rail.
2. Safety stop switches are located in the
footrest bottom pan providing protection from
obstructions and trapping hazards on the stairs.
3. A safety stop switch is part of the swivel seat
mechanism and prevents the lift from operating
when the swivel is in use.
4. Test all the safety stop switches by driving the
lift down and touching the downward end of the
chassis, the lower edge of the footrest, and the
underside of the footrest in both its folded and
unfolded positions.
5. In each of the above cases the unit should come
to an immediate halt. The LED indicator light on
the armrest control should turn to orange and the
unit should beep intermittently.
6. When the control switch is released, the unit
should NOT be able to be driven in the direction
that the lift initially engaged the obstacle. Test this
condition.
WARNING
Do not ride on the chassis or lift
until the install is complete.

TEC0081 20150915 P/N: 630-00065 revA SR601 • Pinnacle 101 Stair Lift Installation 15
Pinnacle 101 StairCOMPLETION PROCEDURES
7. Test to ensure that the lift can only be driven
away from the obstruction. The LED indicator light
will turn to green and stop beeping indicating a safe
operating condition.
8. Repeat the above tests while driving the lift in
opposite direction.
9. If any safety condition does not function properly,
carefully review all installation instructions, reset the
“ON /OFF”switch and check that the LED indicator
light is green. Repeat the above tests.
10. If any safety stop switch fails to immediately
stop the lift and/or a red LED indicator light appears,
remove the key to prevent further use of the lift and
immediately call the manufacturer for assistance
in diagnosing and repairing the problem. DO NOT
USE THE LIFT.
E. ADDITIONAL SYSTEM CHECKS
1. After the successful testing of all safety switches,
sit on the lift and operate to the top of the stairs.
Keeping the control switch depressed continuously,
the lift should gently decelerate and then stop at
the top of the rail.
2. As a nal adjustment, sit on the lift and do two
(2) complete up trips and stop with the chair at
the bottom. Then tighten the compression screw
in the top end plate, then run the chair to the top
and again tighten the compression screw. Run the
chair to the middle and do a nal tightening of the
compression screw.
3. Drive the lift to the bottom, keeping the control
switch depressed all the time, and check that the lift
gently decelerates and stops so the footrest pan is
clear of the oor. If necessary adjust the limit cams
with a 5/64” Allen wrench.
4. Move the lift about 3 ft from either the top or
bottom of the rail. After 30 seconds the armrest
LED indicator light will show orange and beep
indicating that the lift is not positioned on a charge
point. The beep will stop after 30 seconds, but the
armrest LED indicator light will continue to ash
orange.
5. Test the seat swivel at the top by using the levers
and swiveling the seat towards the landing and
stop the seat at 35 and 85 degrees. The seat swivel
levers will release into a locked position at each of
these angles. The lift will not operate in any of these
positions if the control switch is depressed, and the
LED indicator light will turn orange. Return the seat
to its normal position and the LED indicator light will
turn green and the lift will now operate normally.

second step bracket and at the upper bracket. If not,
reposition the brackets as needed. This clearance
is required for the stair lift footrest. In some
installations, you may not be able to get 2" or more
with the standard stair-bracket. Contact Harmar to
get tall brackets. [Figure 21-2 & 21-3]
6. Measure from the side of the rail to the wall. The
minimum clearance that will work with a folding
stair lift rail is 3". Set the folding section of the stair
lift rails to a distance of 3" from the wall or more.
This will leave about 1/2" of clearance at the ball of
the gas-spring. [Figure 21-4]

7. Fasten down the near corner of the lower bracket
using a drill that has extensions at least 10"long and
a 3/8” socket. [Figure 22-1 & 22-2]
8. Measure from the side of the rail at the upper
bracket of the folding rail.
Set this at 3" or more. Screw down one corner of the
bracket.
9. Join to upper rail, following regular procedures
(this procedure is detailed on page 5). This
procedure includes plugging the battery charging
wire harness for the folding rail into the charging
harness from the upper rail. The power supply itself
can be plugged into either the top rail (for the top
of the stairs), or to the charge plug from the folding
rail, which comes out just higher than the folding
mechanism for the bottom of the stairway.
10. Fasten down the other screws of both rail
brackets using the power drill and long extension
with the 3/8” socket. [Figure 22-3]

11. Adjust the height of the two feet using a 9/16"
open end wrench. Set them so that both rest on
the oor with the rail fully straight. The foot farther
from the wall should be set a little taller than the
inside one to get it to seat at on the oor, since
the Pinnacle rail brackets intentionally lean the rail
toward the wall just a little. [Figure 22-4]

12. If you’re installing the feet onto carpet, screw
down a piece of wood or metal to make the feet
seat reliably. [Figure 23-1]

13. Carefully move the fork with your hand to make
sure it operates smoothly. Allow it to go all the way to
the oor. Conrm that both feet sit level on the oor
and the hinge-joint is fully straight. [Figure 23-2]
14. Follow the normal procedure for installing rail
brackets and tightening them. This procedure is
detailed on pages 5 & 6 (steps 7 & 8).
15. Test ride the unit a couple of times to verify that
the folding rail is operating properly.
WARNING
Be careful not to pinch your ngers
when moving the fork.
