Installing the rail-mounting kit hardware
Before you install this platform, review the environmental guidelines to make sure that you are installing and using the
platform in the appropriate environment.
1. Separate the inner rails from the outer rails by fully extending the rails outward and pressing the lever located on the
inner rail.
2. Align the large holes in the inner rails with the PEM fasteners on the unit and then push toward the back of the unit
to lock the PEM fasteners to the inner rails.
You can secure the inner rails to each side of the chassis using two of the pan head screws that are included with the
kit.
Note: If you need to remove an inner rail from the side of the unit, press the spring clip located on the first
PEM fastener, pull the inner rail away from the PEM fastener, and then remove the inner rail from the unit.
3. Attach the rail lock brackets to each side of the unit using the rail lock screws that are included in the kit.
4. Slide the outer rails onto the inner rails on the unit.
