2 With the end of the track positioned so that
it is just touching the floor ensure that the
feet are still positioned on the stair treads
as previously described (Figure 11), i.e:
a The top foot should be positioned on
the last tread.
b The middle foot should be positioned
immediately above the spliced joint.
c The bottom foot should be positioned
on the first tread.
3 Tighten the bolts on the feet (Figure 16).
Slide Track only
4 Position the first (fixed) foot on the second
step of the staircase. Then position and
loosely fix the second foot to the stairs,
two full steps below the track splice point
(or the end of the track for a single section
track), to allow clearance when the Slide
Track moves (Figure 17). The track should
be approximately 25mm from the nose of
the stairs.
5 Position the remaining feet on the steps and
loosely fix them to the stairs. The last foot
needs to be positioned two full steps down
from the top of the stairs, whilst the third foot
should be as close as possible to the splice.
6 The feet should sit as close as possible to the
stringer (Figure 18).
Note: Track may need to be moved out
to ensure seat clears.
7 If the track was not delivered pre-cut to
the correct length, trim the communications
busbar to the appropriate length to
accommodate the top end cap (Figures
4, 5 and 19).
8 Clip on the stringer-side roller covers using
the tacks provided. Then, with the track in
approximately the correct position, put a
screw into each foot to stabilise the track
(Figure 20).
