3.0 Optional Permanent Bonding of Runner Sections with Adhesive
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with back strain due to the heavy weight of the mats:
• Follow safe lifting procedures during installation or moving.
Note: Permanent adhering of the runner sections together with an adhesive may create a continuous runner
that is very heavy and difficult to move or reposition. Trying to move a heavy runner may cause the rubber or
the seams to tear, so use caution when deciding to permanently adhere runner seams together.
1. Proceed through step 5 as described above in the Runner Assembly Instructions, connecting the first section
of the runner to the second section of the runner as illustrated. After the first two sections are connected,
push the second section away from you to produce a gap/opening in the seam. (Figures 1 & 2)

2. Insert the tip of the supplied adhesive bottle into the seam, applying a small bead of adhesive along the edge
of the top surface of the mat section facing you. (Figure 3)

3. Using the palms of your hands again, move quickly to pull the runner section together, pulling and patting
the runner towards you to get the seam to close. (Figures 4 & 5)
