7.8 End Stop Installation
Install one end stop before attempting to load a car.
Only use tracks with pre-drilled M8 tapped holes to secure the end stops. Refer to part number list (page6)
for suitable product. Use M8 countersunk socket screws provided (grade A4-70 to DIN 7991). Apply Tef-Gel or
Dur- alac anti-corrosion paste to head underside. Secure in position with a threadlocker, such as Loctite 222.
Ensure the rubber buffer is positioned over the track..
7.9 Loading cars onto track
Take particular care when loading the cars not to lose ball bearings, which are not captive in this product. The
car with plastic transit track in place should be offered up against the track end as shown overleaf, ensuring
that the track profiles align before carefully sliding the car onto the fixed track. If the car is fitted with a locating
plunger, this should be set to the “up” position (shown on page 4). During this operation, it is vital to maintain the
slider carrier track in position against the fixed track end and in-line with the track to avoid losing ball bearings.
⚠ DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF BALL
BEARINGS ARE MISSING OR HAVE BEEN
LOST.
⚠ CARS ARE TO BE LOADED ONTO THE RAIL IN JOINED PAIRS, EACH PAIR HAVING AT
LEAST ONE CAR WITH A SPRING PLUNGER DEVICE, E.G. PART NOS. 29913313BK
(Black) OR 29913313 (GREY).
IF IT IS REQUIRED TO JOIN TWO SINGLE CARS TOGETHER, (ONE OF WHICH MUST
HAVE A SPRING PLUNGER DEVICE), OR TO ADD A THIRD TOOL SERVICE CAR, USE
CAR LINK PLATE KIT 29913316 TO JOIN CARS AFTER LOADING ON RAIL.
AN ADDITIONAL PAIR OF CARS CAN BE LOADED FOR RESCUE PURPOSES.
If ball bearings are lost the load carrying capacity of the car will be reduced. The correct ball quantity for each
car body is 74. It is normal to have a gap of one ball on each race, to provide adequate allowance for salt/dirt
build up due to the exposed nature of the environment, to ensure the car can slide on the rail.
