Step 1
|
|
|
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, 15amp (standard outlet) available within 10’ of the top
of the track?
Are your
stairs wood? If not, special mounting hardware will be required. (Short
lag screws and lead sheilds)
The track
will extend 5–6” beyond the top step. Is there a door or other obstruction
at the top that will interfere? If so, contact your dealer for assistance.
(A door at the top is not a problem).

Step 2
 |
|
You will need
the following tools to complete the installation:
a) 5/32 allen wrench
b) 9/16 open-end wrench
c) phillips screwdriver
d) 5/16 socket on 8” extension in an electric or cordless drill |
| |
Step 3
 |
|
1 Your stairway
lift will arrive in three boxes.
These will consist of:
a) seat box – 34 lbs
b) unit and top track – 100 lbs.
c) track box – 25-50 lbs (depending on track length)
2 Check each box for any possible shipping damage.
CAUTION: Use a dolly or get assistance in carrying the chassis box to avoid
injury. |
Step 4
|
1 Carry
the seat box and unit box to the top step and leave aside.
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.
3 In the
small parts package you will find:
a) track bracket bolts
b) wood screws
c) adhesive clip
d) call control extension
cord and bracket
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.
NOTE: Top track section will be installed with the unit after installation
of bottom and mid tracks. It requires 2 brackets. |
 |
Step 5
 |
|
1 Track
brackets attach to the wall side of the track. Use the track bracket bolts
to fasten brackets to nuts in the track channel.
Position track brackets as follows:
a) 1 bracket on bottom step
b) 1 bracket on top step
c) 1 bracket above and below where the tracks splice together
d) Position remaining brackets every 2 - 3 steps
Hand tighten the bolts only - the brackets will need to slide for correct
positioning. |
Step 6
 |
|
2 Splice bars
are used to join the track sections together. Locate the splice bars and
loosen the set screws from their shipping position. Slide the splice 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.
|
Step 7
 |
|
3 Slide the
upper track section onto the lower track section. Tighten the splice bar set
screws to lock tracks together.
CAUTION: Do not put your fingers between the track sections at any time as
injury could occur |
| |
Step 8
 |
|
4 Slide the
track and brackets against the wall or molding.
Temporarily set a book or item 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 floor later when the track brackets are tightened.
5 With bracket resting on step, position track bolt in upper half of track
bracket slot.
6 Starting with the bottom step, screw the bracket half-way down – remove
book – and finish securely attaching bracket to the step.
7 Securely tighten remaining track brackets to the steps using provided wood
screws. |
Step 9 - Check Point
Track is
designed to lay directly on the step noses. This is critical on the first and
last steps. Shimming under the track may be required to support the rail if it
is not supported by the steps.
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 final
adjustment.
Step 10
 |
|
1 Attach call
control bracket to the nut between the bottom bracket and the bottom of the
track.
2 Route the wire through the top track channel on the wall-side of the
track.
3 At the top of the middle section of track, tuck the wire underneath the
track out of the way.
4 You will finish routing the call control wire after the top track section
is in place. |
Step 11
 |
 |
|
CAUTION: Assistance may be needed for this part of the installation due to
unit’s and upper track section’s weight.
1 Open unit box by cutting down the sides of the box. Fold the sides of the
box down and slide the unit and top track to the edge of the steps.
2 Remove cardboard packing from back of footrest.
3 Remove the shipping brace from the upper section of track and set aside.
4 Loosen the
splice bars from their shipping position and slide them out to half way.
Tighten the splice bars.
5 Slide the upper track section onto the lower track section.
Tighten the splice bar set screws to lock tracks together. The tracks will
not slide together if the set screws protrude beyond the splice bar.
6 Attach track brackets to the side of the top track section. Hand tighten.
|
Step 12
 |
|
1 During
shipping, the slack cable device may engage and need to be reset.
The slack cable safety prevents the lift from running when there is not
enough tension on the cable.
2 With the unit and upper track section installed and power cable unplugged,
you will use your hand to turn the motor belt that turns the cable drum.
The illustrations show overhead and cut-away views of the unit.
3 With your hand, grasp the motor belt and pull upwards to turn the pulleys
clockwise. This will slowly inch the unit upwards.
Listen for a loud click that will tell you that the slack cable device has
reset.
NOTE: If you do not hear a loud click, then the slack cable did not engage
during shipping and does not need resetting.
|
Step 13
 |
|
1 Unpack the
traveling power cable and
pull the cable down the length of the track.
2 Take one side of the traveling cable and tuck into the bottom channel in
the middle of the track.
NOTE: The power cable will face in toward the metal channel.
3 Feed the other side of the cable into the channel on the opposite side.
4 Snap the
adhesive clip around the power cable (a few inches above the plastic chain).
Pull down on the power cable so there is no slack in the cable.
5 Peel back the paper covering the adhesive on the back of the clip. Press
the clip into the wall-side channel.
This will anchor the power cable to the track and allow free movement of the
power cable when the unit is traveling up and down.
|
Step 14
 |
|
1 Locate the
power cable and plug into the side of the upper track cover. The green light
should light up - indicating the unit is receiving power. If not, check fuse
in fuse drawer under the power cord outlet.
CAUTION: Do not ride. Track brackets are not yet
completely anchored. |
Step 15
 |
|
1 The upper and
lower limit cams are safety devices that automatically stop the unit at each
landing. They have been placed on the track on both sides of the unit to
hold the unit in place during shipping.
2 Locate the lower limit cam (on the track under the unit) and move to the
bottom of the track - butting it against the bottom track cover and tighten
into place.
NOTE: Before the upper limit cam can be moved to its
proper position, the seat will have to be attached to the unit chassis. |
Step 16
|
|
| |
|
 |
1 Open the seat
box and remove the seat and two call controls from the box. Set the call
controls aside.
2 Remove the
two screws from the back of the backrest. Use them to attach the backrest to
the preferred height position on the seat back bar.
3 Remove the
four screws from the top of the unit. Set the screws/washers aside.
CAUTION: Be careful not to drop screws/washers into
unit while removing.
4 Set seat on top of unit chassis. Tip seat sideways and locate seat control
wire. Plug into the unit seat control wire. Plugs can only go together one
way.
5 Lower the seat to the unit chassis. Screw in place with four screws and
lock washers previously set aside. Pull up on swivel arm to rotate the seat
to gain access to all 4 holes.
6 If the seat is not level, then you will need to adjust the seat leveling.
7 There are 4 hex head screws that hold the seat level. There are two on the
footrest side of the chassis, and two on the back side. Loosen all four a
couple of turns.
8 Firmly level the seat by pushing up on one arm and down on the other arm,
until the seat is level.
9 Re-tighten the 4 hex head screws.
NOTE: The unit is designed so it will not run unless
the seat is facing forward and the swivel lock is in place.
|
|
|
Step 17
 |
|
1 To install
the upper limit cam, run the lift down about 1 foot by using the control on
the armrest.
2 Locate the upper limit cam and move to the top of the track - butting it
against the top track cover and tighten into place. |
Step 18
 |
|
1 Finish
routing the call control wire into the upper track channel on the wall side
of the track. Plug into one of the two call control connectors.
2 Plug in the upper call control box to a call control connector.
3 Plug in the lower call control box to the call control connector at the
bottom of the track.
NOTE: Call controls can be mounted to the floor so
they can be operated by your foot, or placed on the wall and operated by
hand.
4 Run the unit down to a few inches past the lowest track splice.
|
Step 19
 |
|
1 The unit
should be parked in the middle of the track to evenly distribute its weight.
2 To complete the track installation, tighten each of the brackets - making
sure they are tight to the stairs.
3 Press down on the track at each bracket and tighten the track bracket
bolts to further anchor the track and minimize any flex in the track. |
Step 20
 |
|
1 Read the Owner’s Manual before riding the lift or allowing anyone else to
ride the unit.
2 Test unit controls located on the chair arm – run unit a short distance
down and up.
3 Test operation of upper and lower call controls.
4 Check footrest safety.
5 Warranty is in the owners manual.
6 Start enjoying years of reliable service from your new Summit Stairway
Lift. |
