While all the treads are on the ground, partially thread
the set screws into the tread and platform sleeves.
Stand the center column up in the opening.
Slide all the treads over the center column. All the
treads are the same.
Slide the platform over the center column. Use the lag
screws supplied and attach the platform in the desired
location. If you are covering the platform with oak, lower
the steel platform so the oak will be flush with your
finished floor.
Plumb the center column and attach the center column
to the floor with the lag screws supplied.

Start the installation with the top tread. Place a baluster
in the hole closest to the platform. Attach the baluster
to the tread with the ¼" x 1 ½"
carriage bolt, nut and lock washer supplied. Be certain
that you start the rotation the same way as it was ordered.
Move the top tread with the baluster attached, to the
proper riser height that your job calls for. On the top
tread only, if you are going to have oak tread covers,
lower the steel tread by that thickness. After this your
steel tread to steel tread height will be the same. Plumb
the baluster and attach the top baluster to the face of
the platform using the top baluster bracket.
Check that the tread is level and that the baluster
is plumb. Tighten the 5/16" set screws to lock the
tread in place. Always tighten the baluster hardware first;
check that the baluster is plumb and then tighten the
set screws last.
