Estate Slide E-SL 1200
Rack Installation
1.
Manually take the leaf to its close position.
2.
Lay the first piece of rack at the appropriate level and mark the hole position on the gate. Make a hole and use
nuts, bolts and washers to make a connection to the gate (not provided)
The holes in the rack are made oblong for adjustment after the holes are drilled. No special bolts are required for
mounting, simply tightening the bolts will hold the rack secure.
3.
Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the pinion. Repeat at each hole.
4.
Bring another rack element neat the previous one, using a piece of rack (as shown below) to synchronize the teeth
of the two elements.
5.
More the gate manually and carry out the securing operations as far as the first element, proceeding until the gate
is fully covered.
Notes on rack installation
Make sure that during the gate travel, all the rack elements mesh correctly with the pinion.
Do not, on any account, weld the rack elements either to the spacers or to each other.
When you have finished installing the rack, adjust the distance between the pinion teeth and the rack groove.
Check if the distance is .06” (below) along the entire travel using the rack slots.
Manually check if the gate habitually reaches the travel limit mechanical stops and make sure that there is no fric-
tion during gate travel.
Do not use grease or other lubricants between rack and pinion.
