When connecting a straight rail section to a curved rail section an adjustment key is
used to ensure proper alignment between the sections as shown in
.
NOTE:
The adjustment key is inserted for connecting straight rail to curved rail sec-
tions only. The adjustment key is not required for other rail to rail connec-
tions.

A.
Back-out the jacking screws on both sides of the curved rail.
B.
Insert the large end of the adjustment key into the end of the curved rail and
tighten the jacking screws enough to hold it in place.
C.
Insert the thin end of the adjustment key into the end of the straight rail.
D.
Loosen the jacking screw on one side of the rail and tighten the jacking screw
on the other side of the rail to align the two rail section.
3.
Position the rails over the edge of the spine plates, aligning the mounting holes in the
rail over the spine plate holes as shown in
.
NOTE:
During rail adjustment and alignment, the spine plates must be loosely
attached to the support post assembly to provide the parts a small amount of
movement relative to each other to allow adjustment.
Prior to attaching the final rail within a closed loop system, all vehicles
should be installed onto the rails. Refer to
