1. Install rail mounting foot clamps in
the placement pattern shown to the
left.
Leave a minimum space of 1-1/2"
(38 mm) from the wall.
2. For ease of installation, nger tighten
all clamps to rail.
Position the clamp assembly so the
nut is closest to the wall.
3. Slide top and bottom clamps down
until rmly seated on step. When
installing on carpeted stairs, tap the
clamps with a rubber mallet to
compress carpet and cushion before
anchoring to steps.
4. Securely install one screw near the
wall on the top and bottom of foot of
clamp assemblies. This will enable the
installer to change the position of the
rail if necessary and prevent drilling
excess holes.
