LENGTH
NOTE: Use this only if the rail did NOT come precut to
length)
1. Determine any obstructions that will affect
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
floor at the bottom (nose to floor
measurement). See Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1
3. For a normal stairway with adequate space

measurement. This will provide enough rail
length to allow the stair lift to be adjusted so
that the floor-to-seat height will be the same
at both the top and bottom.
4. If the top landing has restrictions (i.e. a wall or
doorway), use the chart to determine the
length of extension that should be used.

NOTE: Do not cut rail inside the house (aluminum chips
are very difficult to remove from carpets).
Do not cut the end of the rail that contains the joint
holes. Remove the charger strips and wire harness
before cutting.
Harmar offers a rail jig that allows holes to be drilled
in the end of a rail.

SITE ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
The lift must be connected to a dedicated 120V AC
15A electrical circuit.
RAIL INSTALLATION
1. Open the rail box and remove its contents.
2. Position the bottom rail (the rail with the end
plate attached) directly on the stairs with the
end plate towards the bottom of the stairs
and the plastic rack facing up. Place and object

floor. See Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4
NOTE: Use the chair box, or another heavy object, like a
toolbox, at the bottom of the rail to prevent it from sliding
down the stairs.
3. Install two (2) splice bars into the end of the
track containing the splice pins. They will

flathead screws).
4. 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. See Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5
5. With the plastic rack facing up, slide the top
into the bottom rail and guide them together
using the pre-installed pins. Gently tap on the
top rail if necessary to get them close
together. Be careful not to pinch the power
harness. See Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-6
NOTE: The minimum staircase
angle is 30° and maximum is
45°. Lift can accommodate
staircases with angles over 45°
up to 52° with a code variance.

Allen wrench. See Figure 4-8.
Figure 4-8
8. Install rail brackets with label facing the
staircase side by loosening the screws and
snapping each bracket edge into the slot, or
slide the brackets on from the top of the rail.
See Figure 4-9.
Figure 4-9
NOTE: When installing the track brackets, if the rail is
upside-down, the nut side should be facing the middle of
the staircase, then if the rail is flipped over, the nut side
will face the wall and so will the label.
• For double rails, the first rail bracket
should be tightened in place so when
turned over the back of the bracket
touches the riser of the first 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 riser of the step. The fourth and final
bracket should be placed on the last step
before the top landing, again tightening it
so it touches the front of the riser of the
last step.
• Tighten the first rail bracket in place so
when turned over the back of the bracket
touches the riser of the first step from the
bottom landing. Place the other bracket
on the last step before the top landing,
again tightening it so it touches the riser
of the last step.
9. Turn the rail right side up (gear rack facing up).
See Figure 4-10.

10. Measure any obstruction form the wall (this
may include handrails, molding, light switches,
etc.) and adjust the edge of the brackets and
equal distance from the wall. The minimum

CHASSIS INSTALLATION
1. Remove chassis from box.
2. 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.
See Figure 4-15.
Figure 4-15
3. Remove the zip tie on the power switch and
turn the unit on. The unit will beep once
indicating it is ready for use.
4. Use the installation switch (the black switch
on the top of the chassis) to move the chassis

FINAL RAIL INSTALLATION
1. Install the remaining plastic rack pieces in the
upper rail. See Figure 4-18.

2. Use a hacksaw or chop saw to cut the last
plastic rack piece flush with the rail end. Place
something on the floor to catch debris or mark
and cut the rack outside.
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). See Figure 4-19.

4. Remove the charging strips from the rail box.
Connect the charging strip connector to the
power wire that runs through the center of
the rail from the lower charging strips.
Insert the two (2) charging 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. See Figure 4-21.

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.

FOLDING RAIL
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The photos in this section shows a left folding rail,
assembled to be installed on the left side of the stairway.
Contact Harmar Technical Support at 800-833-0478 for
instructions on how to switch a folding rail from the left
side to the right side.
1. Orient the two(2) rail brackets onto the
folding rail, with the nuts on the same side as
the folding mechanism.
See Figures 4-35 and 4-36.
Figure 4-35

2. Expand and snap the two (2) brackets over the
rail, so the top is in the bracket-groove.
See Figures 4-37.

up or down and re-tighten the set screws.
Repeat above steps until the lift stops in the
desired position.
4. Repeat the above steps to set the upper limit.
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 floor is the same at the top
and bottom of the stairs.
TEST SAFETY STOP
SWITCHES
1. Safety stop switches are located in both the
upward and the downward ends of the chassis
providing protection from obstructions on the
rail. (Folding rail model)
2. Safety stop is located in the footrest 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 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. (Folding rail model)
5. In each of the above cases the unit should come to
an immediate halt and 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.
7. Repeat the above tests while driving the lift in the
opposite direction.

carefully review all installation instructions, reset
