Shoe extension bolts pass through the shoe exten-
sion and thread into the track shoe to keep the ex-
tension firmly in place (see Figure 3

Track Ring Installation
If the track rings are assembled, separate the 2
halves of the track ring by unscrewing the 2 clamp-
ing screws at each end cap
with a 5/32” hex key.
For 4 segment tracks, separate into 2 halves leav-
ing 2 segments joined for each half.
Four segment track rings can be bro-
ken down into four individual seg-
ments for easy shipping and storage.
FIGURE 4 – ASSEMBLY STEP 1
1. After separating into two segments, retract
each shoe completely by turning both ad-
justment screws (see Figure 4
– Assembly
Step 1) evenly with a 1/4” hex key until the
shoe is flush with the cross brace. Do not
over tighten.
2. Place one half of the track ring over the
work surface with the threaded end nearer
the top. Slide the track over the pipe angled
with more of the track over the top of the
pipe, so that the weight of the track is sup-
ported (see Figure 5
– Assembly Step 2).
Verify that the track ring is supported
and will not fall before moving on to
Step 3.
