Snap the top rail (component A) onto the top
beam (component D) by applying downward
pressure. Work from the bottom of the stair
to the top end of the rail until the full length of
the cover locks into place (Fig. 31 & Fig. 32).
At this time, install the remaining fitting in the
pre-drilled hole at the bottom of your top stair
post (circled, figure 32.)

Using the painted screws (component

underneath each end through the pre-drilled
location (Fig. 33). This will secure the bracket,
beam, and top rail together (Fig. 34).
