• Note that the fasteners above the traverse are significantly shorter than above the fixed rail,
see Figure X.
• Make sure you have the necessary tools, aids and protective equipment at hand before start-
ing the work.
• Use suitable measurement equipment to measure out and mark the position of attachment
brackets and the centres of the holes which are to be drilled.
• Check that the pull cord for controlling the transition coupling is on the traverse boom, mov-
ing part.
• Line up the heights of the traverse boom and the fixed system, so that the transfer is smooth,
noise free and so that there are no height differences.
• Refer to descriptions of the assembly of traverse systems and single rails. These are fitted as
described above.
• NOTE! Transition coupling rail profiles have custom ends at the point where the transition cou-
pling is to be fitted.
• When all rail profiles have been fitted, the transition coupling can be fitted as described below
Assembly of transition coupling
Figure 68.
Transition coupling, fixed section and traverse section
• Slide the transition coupling fixed section into the fixed rail. Make sure that the multibolt slides
into the track on the rail.
• Turn the link arm and slide the transition coupling section so far in that the front is flush with
the rail end. Tighten the two nuts on the top. Use Loctite on the first nut.
• Slide the traverse section into the traverse rail. The locking bolt must be removed during fit-
ting.
• Press lightly on the liner bolt and open the
gate. Keep this open while the transition cou-
pling is being pushed fully in. Slide the transi-
tion coupling so far in that the transition cou-
plings front is flush with the rail end.
• Tighten the transition coupling.
• Check that the clearance between the transi-
tion coupling sections are the minimum possi-
ble without parts scraping against each other.
Keep the release plate open when checking this
(so the transition coupling does not lock).
