WARNING: Carry out the installation in a "workmanlike" manner, strictly following the installation
instructions and using suitable tools. Always consult your local building department for code requirements
that must be respected depending on its destination of use (private, secondary, public...)..
Before starting the assembly process, unpack all components of the staircase. Lay them out on a
large surface and check the quantity of all the pieces, by consulting the table TAB.1 (A = Code, B =
Quantity).
Inside the staircase box you will also find a DVD which we suggest watching before proceeding to
assemble.
For customers in the USA there is a customer assistance number 1-888 STAIRKT, which you can
telephone in case of problems.
Assembly
1. Carefully measure the floor-to-floor height.
Calculate the rise:
1) subtract 22 cm (8 1/2") from the floor-to-floor height you measured,
2) divide this value by the number of rises minus one.
Example: for the measured floor-to-floor height of 268 cm and a staircase with 12 rises;
(268-22)/(12-1)=22,36 (8'3 1/2"- 8 5/8")/(12-1)=8 3/4".
2. Determine the position of the N19 support (fig. 1) keeping in mind two points:
1) the rise, calculated previously, also contains the tread depth (L40) (fig. 2).
2) Position the N19 support keeping in mind the opening feature (fig. 3).
3. Drill with the Ø 14 mm drill bit.
4. Assemble on the floor, in a straight line, the N19, N18, N17 and N16 supports keeping in mind
the calculated rise. Use the C15, B71 and B75 parts (fig. 1). Tighten sufficiently keeping in mind
that the N19, N18, N17 and N16 supports still have to rotate for the configurations B, C, D.
5. Lift and position the structure with the N19 support which has to touch the floor (fig. 4). If the
stair place is too tight, it is suggested to rotate some supports.
6. Tighten the N19 support completely, by using the F20 part (fig. 1).
7. Determine at this point which is the first step from the top. Drill L40 treads using the L41
cardboard cutout jig you find in the package, alternating a right tread and a left tread (fig. 3).
8. Cut along the shape (fig. 7 - center page).
9. Decide where to assemble the railing (inside or outside) (fig. 3) and pierce the treads (L40) with
the 6,5 drill bit USING THE TEMPLATE ONLY FOR THE STRIGHT SIDES. To find the fixing point on
the short side of the winding treads (L40) maintain the same distance as the one between the
balusters (C12) to assemble on the long side of the tread (fig. 3).
10. Assemble and tighten the F23 parts by using the C14, B83, C49, C13, B02 parts (fig. 1).
11. Attach the treads (L40) completely starting from the top to the N16 support, by using the C40
parts (fig.1).
1. The A configuration (straight) doesn't need any further changes (fig. 3).
2. The B or C configurations need a 13° rotation (fig. 3).
3. The D configuration needs a 18° rotation (fig. 3).
To rotate the supports of 13° or 18° you have to proceed as follows:
a. Set out with a pencil, at the connection point of two supports, two vertical lines at a distance
of 9 mm (0,35") (to rotate 13°, configuration B or C) (fig. 5) or 13 mm (0,51") (to rotate 18°,
configuration D) (fig. 6).
b. Loosen the C15 parts, one support by one, starting from the top and rotate until one of the
lines matches the one of the top according to the direction of rotation.
c. Tighten the C15 parts completely (fig. 1).
