Connection of Lift Arms to the Runways & Doors
*See diagram on page 10
Required tools: none
1.
At this point you have the option of attaching the lift arms to the under side of the swivel
portion of the runways or to the slotted door lift bracket connected to the arena. The
provided plastic thumb screws are used for either application. The length of the runways
and the doors are adjusted using the slotted liftarm. When switching from runways to door
or vise-versa, pay careful attention to the height of the raised runway and the depth of the
lowered door. The raised runway should be level with the arena. The lowered door should
close gently, not with a loud noise. If it closes with a loud noise, the lift arm should be
lengthened.
2.
Assure these connections operate smoothly and that there is no binding of the
mechanism.
3.
Place the eight feeder cups into the open holes located at the end of the runway.
4.
At this point rotate the column on the base swivel to assure it moves freely without binding.
When the column is positioned with the numeral one facing the cable mounting panel, this
is considered the mid point or center of rotation. From this point the column can be rotated
170 degrees to the left or 170 degrees to the right of this center point. The column will not
rotate past 170 degrees, as there is a built in rotation stop to prevent the cables from
bending.
