STEEL RACK WITH SPACERS TO BE SCREWED ON
1. Rest a rack section on the pinion (
 2 0
).
2. Position the spacers in the upper part of the slots
(
 2 0
-1): This will allow future adjustments if the rail is lowered.
3. Use a screw clamp to fasten the assembly to the sliding gate sec-
tion, then use a spirit level to check it is level (
 2 0
).
4. Mark the point to drill into the sliding gate section (
 2 0
-1).
Drill with a 6.5mm bit and use an M8 thread cutter to tap the
hole. Screw in the screw for the spacer with the corresponding
washer (
 2 0
-2).
5. Move the sliding gate section forward, checking that the section
rests on the pinion.
6. Screw in the other two spacers, repeating the operations in steps
5 and 6.
7. If necessary, use another rack section; rest it on the pinion, bringing
it up to the previous one; use a third section, screw clamps and a
spirit level to line up the teeth and check it is level (
 2 1
).
8. Install the section, repeating the operations in points 5, 6 and 7.
9. Add other rack sections until the entire length of the sliding gate
section is covered.
10. If the final section is too long, cut it with an angle grinder near
one of the three slots (
 2 2
).
PLASTIC RACK AND MOUNTING HARDWARE
1. Rest a rack section on the pinion (
 2 3
).
2. Use a screw clamp to fasten the assembly to the sliding gate sec-
tion, then use a spirit level to check it is level (
 2 3
).
3. Mark the drill point on the sliding gate section, in the upper part
of the slot (
 2 3
-1): This will allow future adjustments if the rail
is lowered.
4. If the thickness of the tubular section is less than 5mm, screw in
the self-tapping screw with its washer; if the thickness of the tu-
bular section is greater than 5mm, drill with a 5.5mm bit then use
a 6.3x25 hex-head self-tapping screw instead of the self-tapping
screw (
 2 3
-2).
5. Move the sliding gate section forward, checking that the section
rests on the pinion.
6. Check the level, then screw in the other two screws, repeating the
operations in steps 4, 5 and 6.
7. If necessary, use another section of rack; rest it on the pinion and
connect it to the previous one and use a spirit level to check it is
level (
 2 4
).
8. Install the section, repeating the operations in points 4, 5, 6 and 7.
9. Add other rack sections until the entire length of the sliding gate
section is covered.
10. If the final section is too long, cut it with an angle grinder near
one of the three slots (
 2 5
).
