24. Check once more the vertical position of the railing balusters (C07) and, if necessary, correct it, by repeating the
previous operations.
25. Fix into the floor in relation to the first baluster (C07), the part F01, by piercing with the 8 mm (
drill bit. Use the parts B11, B12, C29 and C31 (fig. 1).
26. Cut one long baluster C07 (H. 1190 mm - 46
(fig. 1). Set the first baluster (C07) together with the reinforcing part (C30).
27. Warm the handrail (A02) until it becomes malleable:
1) put the handrail onto the cover of the wooden box,
2) warm for about five minutes making circular movements continuously without holding on,
3) turn it on its other part and repeat that operation.
28. Set the handrail (A02) onto the balusters (C07) starting from the top before it becomes cold (fig. 6).
29. Drill the handrail (A02) in relation to the present holes and fasten with the parts B54 and B55.
30. Insert quickly all the other balusters, paying attention to their vertical position, into the treads (L02), tighten the
part C31 and fasten to the handrail (A02) using the parts B54 and B55 (for the stairs with a diameter larger
" ), it is advisable to assemble first the shorter balusters).

31. Cut the excess piece of the handrail (A02) in relation to the first railing baluster (C07).
32. Complete the handrail (A02) by assembling the parts A03. Use the glue (X01) (fig. 1).
33. Tighten the parts C31, D32 and D33 completely.
34. Complete the railing assembly inserting the parts B82 into the lower part of the balusters (C07) (fig. 1).
Assembly of the Balustrade
35. Screw the baluster (C04) into the part G01 that sticks out from the landing (E03) (fig. 1).
36. Fix the part B01 into the baluster (C04), by using the part C31 and some silicone (fig. 1).
37. Assemble the parts F01, using the parts B89, B27, B23 into the holes of the landing (E03), maintaining a
similar distance as between the balusters (C07) of the railing, which had been assembled previously (fig. 1).
38. Place the shorter balusters (H. 935 mm - 36
between the two elements and to tighten part C31.
39. Fix the handrail (A02), using the parts B54 and B55 (fig. 1).
40. In case that there are walls around the stair well and on their position, it could be necessary to position one or
two more balusters.
41. In that case it is necessary to consider either the distance between all other balusters, or otherwise the
distance from the wall. For the fixing it is suggested to pierce with a drill bit Ø 9 mm the landing (E03) and to use
the fixing parts F01, C31, B89, B27, B23 (fig. 10).
Final Assembly
42. In order to re-inforce the staircase at the intermediate points, you must fix into the wall the parts F09 and
connect them to the balusters (C07) by means of the parts F08. Pierce the wall with a 8 mm (
bit and use the parts B36, B37, B11, B12 (fig. 11).
43. Clean the surface of all the treads from eventual drosses of metal shavings which fell down during the drilling of
the landing E03 (points 18 and 39) to avoid that there will be an evolvement of rust on the upper surface of the
galvanization.
Characteristics of staircases for outdoors
Arkè products are made of excellent quality and treated with the best technological process; the staircase model
CIVIK ZINK, especially, has the following features:
• stainless steel screws
• balusters made of pre-galvanized sheet with the addition of cold galvanizing on the welded joints.
• treads and landing are welded by a welding robot and they are hot-dip galvanized on 450°after degreasing
passivation in full respect of normative standards UNI E 14.07.000.0 and certification ISO 9002.
It's a usual feature of the hot-galvanized products to present small areas in which the zinc is not perfectly sticked.
It's also possible to damage the galvanized surface during the assembly.
To guarantee a long life product, you will find a kit of liquid zinc in the box to lay on with a brush for possible
retouches after the assembly.
We suggest to check the wholeness of your staircase at regular intervals, and to retouch possible damaged areas
with similar products easily to be found on the market.
It's a usual feature of the hot-galvanized products that they become matt after some time, that's because of a
normal oxidation process of the zinc in all weather conditions.
The staircase may be painted immediately after a preventive application of a suitable primer or, without any
particular cautions, after an exposition to weather conditions of at least 12-18 months.
