OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the P.T.Rail Angled from HealthCraft. Please read
and understand the instructions in this manual; keep manual for future

The P.T.Rail Angled is a high quality, commercial grade, fold down rail for
use on short staircases. The P.T.Rail Angled is intended for moderate
vertical and horizontal load bearing to provide assistance and support for
people with reduced mobility. The P.T.Rail Angled is intended to bear
weight ONLY when the handle is in the down position; the handle is not
intended to bear weight in any other position. The P.T.Rail Angled handle is
intended to be folded up when not in use. A friction hinge ensures that the
handle will not inadvertently lower when it is in the up position. The P.T.Rail
Angled is installed with appropriate fasteners to a structural wall.
