In this guide, we will walk you through the key components of the installation process, where to find manual resources, and the top safety considerations you need to know. The Essential Guide to the ThyssenKrupp Levant Stair
Contact Alignment
If the unit uses a dedicated top charging station (common in specific Levant iterations): The charging contacts on the rail must align
- The charging contacts on the rail must align perfectly with the contacts on the carriage.
- The "Park" position is not arbitrary; it is the point where the charging LED indicates a closed circuit.
- Troubleshooting: A common installation error is cutting the rail too short, forcing the chair to park at an angle or before the charge contacts meet. The rail length calculation (Step 1) must account for the extra inches required for the charge strip.
Step 1: Preparing the Top Rail Section
Do not unwrap the rail until you have measured the top landing. The rail comes in modular sections. Identify the section with the pre-installed stop plug—this is your top piece.
- Action: Slide the nylon glide strip into the top rail channel. Ensure it extends 2 inches past the end of the rail to prevent metal-on-metal contact at the stop.
4. Site Preparation: The "Levant Clearance Rule"
Before driving a single screw, verify the following clearances using the included plastic gauge tool (Part #LEV-GAUGE-01):
- Side Clearance: The innermost point of the folded seat must have 5.5 inches (14 cm) from the wall, banister, or any protrusion (light switches, outlet covers).
- Top Landing: The carriage requires a 23-inch (58.4 cm) straight run beyond the last step to fully level and swivel the seat. If your staircase ends at a door, you will need the optional "top-of-stairs parking post" (sold separately).
- Bottom Landing: The footrest will extend 12 inches (30.5 cm) past the bottom rail mount. Ensure this area is clear of baseboard heaters or protruding floor registers.
