Installing the Chassis Rails

Two of the chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) should have already been preattached 

- one to each side of the chassis.  Attach the second set of chassis rails (Chassis 

Rail 2) directly to the chassis with the screws provided.  Chassis Rail 2 should 

be positioned just behind Chassis Rail 1 (see Figure 2-2).  Do this for both sides 

of the chassis.
