Installing the Safety Rail Hinge Guard
IMPORTANT: Before installing the Hinge Guard, check
the position of the Safety Rail, when in place, to insure
proper alignment. Is it opening and closing properly?
Using the instructions to the left, adjust if necessary.
Even though the settings for the Safety Rails are pre-set at the factory, it is
recommended that you check the alignment beforehand.

Rail in place and guards
the hinge points.
