Adjust the Length of the Outer Rails
1. Make sure the extender on the outer rail can slide a little to extend the length of the
rail. If necessary, loosen or tighten the screws attaching the extender to the rail.
Refer to Figure 2-12 to see a close-up of the rail with the extender attached.
Note:
Using a measuring tape simplifies determining the length required
for the rails to fit inside the rack.
2.
Hold one of the remaining rails against the rack side, with the extender nearest the
back of the rack.
3.
Adjust the extender so that it just fits in the inside distance from the front mounting
holes of your rack to the back mounting holes.
4.
Tighten the four screws holding the extender to the rail.
5.
Repeat for the other rail.
Install the Outer Rail in the Rack
1.
Examine the mounting holes in your rack and select either bag 2 or bag 3, that has
the set of nut plates and screws that best match these holes.
2.
Determine where to install the nut plates on the rack. The plates must be
positioned to provide at least 2 inches of clearance below the bottom edge of the
plate.
