WARNING
The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end
(see illustration). The hole above this window is
larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A
smaller hole 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail
edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole
close to the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm)
from the far end. A 5-piece rail uses four back rails.
NOTE: Using the sequence above ,the clips will be
facing down.
1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging
brackets packaged inside the front rail and set
aside for Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To
prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully
remove the straight door arm stored within the rail
section.
2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown
and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones.
Tabs along the side will lock into place.
NOTE: Rail sections may be assembled with the
clips up or down (down is preferred) disassembly of
rail may damage clips.
3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect
the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top.
For convenience, put a support under the front
end of the rail.
4. As a temporary trolley stop, clamp a locking pliers
onto the rail, 8" (20 cm) from the center of the
idler pulley hole, as shown.
5. Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads
inside the inner trolley. If they became loose
during shipping, check all packing material. Snap
them back into position as shown.
6. Connect the inner and outer trolleys as shown.
7. Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the
back end to the locked pliers.
