Dry fit the handrail to the balusters. 3. Ensure that the handrail overhang is roughly equal at the top and bottom balusters. NOTE: To assist in installation, it may be beneficial to use zip ties to hold the handrail onto a few of the baluster tips during the installation process. 4. Mark the location of the holes of the baluster tips onto the vinyl handrail. 5. Drill a 3/8" hole in the handrail at the locations marked in step 4. Do not drill out the hole in the baluster tip. 6. Insert screw (K) upward through the baluster tip hole and thread on a vinyl handrail clip (J). Squeeze the clip so the wings of the clip collapse and then insert it into the 3/8" hole drilled into the handrail in step 5. NOTE: If the handrail does not sit flush on the baluster tips, the baluster tips can be bent up or down as needed with an adjustable wrench to better match the angle of the handrail. Place a rag between the wrench and the baluster tip to prevent damage to the finish of the baluster tip. 7. Once the handrail has been attached to all of the main balusters, cut the railing 3" above the top baluster and 3" below the bottom baluster. If local building code requires a longer length, cut the handrail to meet the code. 8. Slip the vinyl railing caps (17) onto the end of the handrail to complete installation. 18 www.mylenstairs.com Hardware ® 0 Parts 10 Q Tools f .

Continue rotating the coil and forming until the whole coil has been worked through_ Measure the coil diameter to determine if more adjustment is needed. If so, repeat the forming process from the beginning. IMPORTANT: Do not try to bend the handrail into shape on the first pass through the coil. For best results, make small adjustments and repeat the process as needed. 14 www.mylenstairs.com Aylen Bottom Baluster Installation STAIRS NOTE: The main baluster connecting the bottom tread to the floor must be cut. 1.

Move the top tread to the proper riser height required. If you do not know your riser height, you may determine it by using the simple calculation below: a. Add number of treads and platforms b. Measure the floor to floor height in inches = c. Divide 3b by 3a = d. Riser height is usually between 8'/2" and 9'/2". 10 www.mylenstairs.com Hardware (9@(DQ a Parts Tools Aylen Platform and Base Installation Hardware 1.
