INSTALLATION GUIDE

INSTALLATION

PRE-INSTALLING RAIL SPLICES

1.  Determine the number of rails required per row of modules.

2.  Insert a rail splice into one rail. Do not push it past the center bump.

3.  Slide the next rail onto the rail splice until the two rail ends meet.

4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the desired length is achieved.*  

*

This is usually easiest to do from the ground.
