Step 8
Attach the stair climber assembly to the hand truck frame using the images below as a guide for securing the bracket
to the hand truck. Tighten all 1/4”-20 bolts to 50-60 in.-lbs. of torque including any bolts installed in previous steps.
39” Frames
For bolted frames: Remove the bolt securing the middle brace to the frame from one side of the frame (for molded
cross braces, make sure the lock nut in the cross brace stays in place). Rotate the C5 and bracket assembly toward
the frame and align the key of bracket with the outside of the frame. Replace the removed screw with the 1/4”-20
thread forming screw for aluminum frames and the 1/4”-20 x 1-1/4” long pan head screw for molded cross brace
frames. If a hole does not exist in the frame in the bottom hole location of bracket, drill a hole using a 5/16” drill using
the bracket as a guide. Secure with 1/4”-20 x 1” long pan head screw and hex lock nut. Repeat for the other side.
For riveted frames (manufactured before June 2015): Rotate the C5 and bracket assembly toward the frame and
align the key of bracket with the outside of the frame. If a hole does not exist in the frame in the bottom hole location
of bracket, drill a hole using a 5/16” drill using the bracket as a guide. Secure with 1/4”-20 x 1” long pan head screw
and hex lock nut. This is the only place to secure the bracket on a riveted 39” frame.

52” Frames
For all frames: Rotate the C5 and bracket assembly toward the frame and align the key of bracket with the outside
of the frame. If a hole does not exist in the frame in the bottom hole location of bracket, drill a hole using a 5/16” drill
using the bracket as a guide. Secure with 1/4”-20 x 1” long pan head screw and hex lock nut. Repeat for the other
side.
