5.1: Plug in top brackets to chassis with "This Side Up" facing up to the top.
5.2: Attach the bracket to the chassis with a supplied #8 x 5/8" self tapping
screw in groove in chassis. Repeat on opposite side. (NOTE: For 10' rail
kits, chassis will be made of aluminum and should be pre-drilled with
1/8" drill bit.)
5.3: Turn chassis upside down and lay baluster spacer on top of chassis.
Make sure the baluster spacer completely covers the chassis and
brackets without extending beyond ends of brackets.
5.4: Install baluster plugs through baluster spacer into the chassis until you
hear a snap.
5.5: Carry assembled top rail chassis and plugs over to rail section and slide
baluster plugs into the top of the previously installed balusters. Align
plugs partially into each baluster. After all are engaged, rmly push
down to ensure balusters fully engage the baluster plugs and the top
baluster spacer becomes tight to the chassis.
5.7: Pre-drill with a 13/64" drill bit from the top
of the installed chassis down all the way
through baluster spacer cover. Start on
one side of fi rst bracket in corner nooks as
indicated. For 6' rails, install two screws
per bracket and two additional screws
at midway point between brackets and
chassis. Be sure to drill directly through the
scored lines on the top of chasses. For 8'
rails, install two screws per bracket, and
remaining four screws equally spaced.
5.6: Using supplied #10 x 2-1/2" screws, attach top brackets to center of
post. (NOTE: Be sure to push down on top of chassis while screwing
into post to make the fi t "snug")
