Before starting assembly, unpack all stair components. Place them on a large enough surface and check the
number of components, using the attached packing list.
The staircase is supplied with a direction of climb (clockwise or anticlockwise), defined during design of the ideal
configuration, and this direction determines the spiral (clockwise or anticlockwise) of the handrail sections of the
railing. It is therefore inadvisable to invert the direction of climb, to avoid problems with the correct assembly of
the staircase. To verify the climb direction for which the staircase has been supplied, check the description of
code 140051.
Preliminary assembly
1. A ssemble the parts 001013 on the treads 103008 (Fig. 1) (Fig. 2).
2. C arefully measure the height from floor to floor to determine the number of plastic spacers 131030 or
131031. To determine the number of plastic spacers 131030 or 131031 required, use TAB. 2 for staircases
with spacers D73 (metal) and a staircase diameter of 110 and 120 cm, TAB. 3 for staircases with spacers
D75 (wood) and a staircase diameter of 110 and 120 cm, TAB. 4 for staircases with spacers D73 (metal)
and a staircase diameter of 130 and 140 cm, TAB. 5 for staircases with spacers D75 (wood) and a staircase
diameter of 130 and 140 cm (H = height, A = rises).
Example: for a measured height of 250 cm from floor to floor and a 140 cm diameter staircase with 13
treads and spacers D73 (metal), the following is required: see TAB. 4 : a) Read the number of plastic spacers
required in column H in correspondence to the height of 250 cm, i.e. 40 in column A/13. b) One at a time
distribute the plastic spacers in sequence above and below all the spacers D73 until they have all been used
up (keep the alignment with the injection point on the visible edge to improve aesthetics). Up to a maximum
of 3 plastic spacers can be fitted on the 1st spacer D73. Up to a maximum of 5 plastic spacers can be
fitted on the remaining spacers D73). The final result is 3 spacer rings on the 1st spacer D73 (2 above and
1 below), 4 plastic spacers on the 2nd spacer D73 (2 above and 2 below), 3 plastic spacers on the eleven
remaining spacers (2 above and 1 below).
3. Assemble the parts 033098 and 033078 using the parts 011051 (Fig. 1) (for railing 040).
4. A ssemble the parts C63 to the baluster 122011 using the parts 011064 and 005036 (Fig. 2) (for railing 030).
Cutting top landing
5. T o define and trace the cutting lines for the circular landing:
1) carefully measure hole in ceiling.
2) calculate centre of hole in ceiling.
3) trace the form of the circular landing near the point of arrival on a piece of cardboard of the packing;
cut cardboard and position it symmetrically on the lower part (underside) of the landing, at a distance with
respect to the centre equivalent to half the hole measured earlier (Fig. 4).
6. T o define and trace the cutting lines for triangular or trapezoidal landings:
1) carefully measure hole in ceiling.
2) calculate centre of hole in ceiling.
3) trace cutting lines parallel to existing edges on the lower part (underside) of the landing, at a distance with
respect to the centre equivalent to half the hole measured earlier (Fig. 5).
7. C ut the landing with an electric jigsaw, taking great care to avoid damaging the paintwork finish; use
sandpaper to remove any roughness on edges and protect with the supplied wood paint.
Assembly
8. D etermine the position of the post on the floor, according to the dimensions of the landing cut earlier, and lay
the base 023012 (Fig. 3).
9. D rill holes with a 14 mm bit and fix the base 023012+012009+022001 to floor with components 008001
(Fig. 1) (Fig. 2).
10. Screw tube 042013 onto base 023012+012009+022001(Fig. 1) (Fig. 2) (Fig. 3).
11. Fit base cover 132017 or 132018 onto tube 042013 (Fig. 10).
12. D etermine the fitting sequence of the treads 103012 and 103013, starting from the 1st one on the floor
and working your way up in such a way that the last tread in contact with the landing is 103013. In order, fit
the spacer D73 or D75, the plastic spacers 131030 or 131031, the first tread 103012 or 103013 (Fig. 9A)
(remember that the ascending direction of the staircase must follow the shape of the handrail), the spacer
D73 or D75, the plastic spacers 131030 or 131031 and again the tread 103012 or 103013 and so on.
Position the treads, alternating between right and left, so that the weight is evenly distributed (Fig. 10).
13. W hen the top of the tube 042013 is reached, screw on component 022003, screw on next tube 042013 and
