Spiral Staircase Installation — Supplementary Information, continued
- To assemble the guard rail insert the end clips so that the top clip is facing down and the bottom clip is facing up. (It may be helpful to file the inside of the 3/4" square tube prior to inserting the clips) Hammer the drive pins to secure the clips. Insert the 3/4" black plastic cap into the bottom of the guard rail post.
- Fasten the landing rail by bolting its leg to the side of the landing so that there is slightly less than a 4" space from the under side of the bottom horizontal rail. Check for plumb and drill two holes into the center pole with a 5/22" drill bit, secure the center pole with two self tapping screws.
Secure the top rail to a wall or post with the end clip, or cut off the excess and insert a 1/4" black plastic end cap. - Retighten all set screws and bolts as required. Finish the center pole by placing the rubber center pole cap on top. (Tip: Soak the rubber top cap in hot water before installing it to ease installation.)
- Place the protective edging for the bottom edge of the landing directly under the landing rail when provided. Measure the length and cut as required. Tap this lightly into position.
- Place the black 1/4" I.D. plastic thread protectors over all exposed 1/4" bolts.
