Before starting to assemble unpack each element of the staircase. Position them on an ample surface and check
the quantity of the elements (TAB. 1: A = Code, B = Quantity).
We recommend watching the DVD provided before starting the assembly.
Preliminary assembly
1. Assemble the bushes D32 on the treads L02 with ring nut D33 and tighten manually. Insert components C13
and B02 in the bushes D32 (fig. 2) orienting the dowel hole towards the centre of the staircase.
2. Carefully measure the height from floor to floor to determine the number of spacer rings D03 (TAB. 2).
3. Assemble the spacers (D14, D03 and D02) as a single piece. Assemble the spacers (D04, D03 and D02) in the
same way.
Assembly
4. To determine the fixing point of base G03 on the floor calculate the exact centre of the final landing (fig. 3).
5. Drop a plumb line to the floor in correspondence with the point just found, trace a line perpendicular to the wall
to identify the exact centre of the staircase using one of the cardboard packs in the box.
6. Calculate the centre of the staircase according to its own size. E.g. Ø 140 cm = (140:2) + 2.5 cm = 72.5 cm.
7. Use element G03 as a reference for the 3 floor fixing holes to perform using a Ø 14 mm bit.
8. Assemble the base (G03+B17+B46) as in fig. 1.
9. Secure the base (G03+B17+B46) in a permanent manner to the floor with the elements B13 (fig. 1).
10. Tighten the tube G02 onto the base (G03+B17+B46) (fig. 1).
11. Insert the spacers (D14+D03+D02) (fig. 4).
12. Insert the base cover D05 (fig. 4).
13. Insert the first tread L02 into tube G02. Then, in this order, insert a spacer (D04+D03+D02) and the next tread
L02 and so on. Position the treads, alternating between right and left, so that the weight is evenly distributed
(fig. 4).
14. Once you have reached the end of the tube G02, tighten element B47, tighten the following tube G02 and
continue to assemble the staircase (fig. 4).
15. Once you have reached the end of the tube G02, tighten element B46 and element G01 (tighten element G01
taking into account the fact that it must be 15 cm taller than the height of the staircase) (fig. 5). Continue to
insert the treads using element D01 inserted in the spacer (D04+D03+D02) of the final treads L02 that are not
centred on column G02.
16. Insert the landing E03 last. Insert elements B05, B04 and secure element B03 sufficiently, considering that the
treads must still rotate (fig. 1).
Fixing the landing
17. Screw element B74 onto the landing E03 using the components B73, B72 and B78 in the sequence shown in
fig. 6.
18. Connect both elements B76 and B74 by means of components B71 and B75 without permanently tightening
them (fig. 6). Upper B71 must be screwed into B74 up to 15 mm from the edge.
19. Move elements B76 close to the floor. Determine the position and tighten elements B71 (after checking that the
staircase is vertical) until points A, B and C are in contact with the floor (fig. 7).
20. Drill with a Ø 14 mm bit and fix in a permanent manner using element B58 (fig. 6).
21. Lock element B73 last (fig. 6).
To assemble the railing
22. Fan the treads L02 out after you have chosen the rotation direction (fig. 9). You can now climb the stairs.
23. Starting from the landing E03 insert the first long baluster C03 (H.1230 mm) connecting the treads L02 keeping
the direction of holes of element B53 towards the centre of the staircase and in such a way that the countersink
of the element remains towards the inside of the railing.
24. Then insert all the longer connecting balusters C03 (H. 1230 mm) between the treads L02. Only tighten the
lower element B02 of each tread (fig. 1).
25. Check that all the balusters C03 positioned are vertical. Take care during this operation, since it is very
important for assembling the stairs correctly.
26. Tighten in a permanent manner the element B03 (fig. 9).
27. Tighten in a permanent manner the upper element B02 of the treads (fig. 2).
