Installation Instructions
Preparation of Site
It is recommended that the following examinations be carried out prior to taking the rail into the property:
Visually check the site making sure that all obstructions such as window sills, pipes, bulkheads, newel posts etc have been allowed for.
Examine the stairs, remove any removable objects that may get damaged or could cause a tripping hazard when the rail is brought into the property.
If the stairway is open plan or there is access to the rear of the installation (not against a wall), then the installation must not go ahead until the access has been paneled off.
Identify existing damage to:
- Decorations
- Floor coverings, furniture and other furnishings
- Windows, doors, etc.
Agree with customer all damage prior to installation, make note on work report. Obtain customer's initials next to each point.
Do not remove the customer's banister rail until the stairlift rail has been positioned - in case of mis-measure/abort.
