Assembly Narrow 

1)  Mark System Location 

Locate the centerline of the system by measuring the proper offset from the hazard. Refer 

to the drawing package supplied with the system. Place chalk line to mark the centerline 

of the system. Mark a construction line parallel to the centerline and offset 

6.5” [165 mm]

 

to one side (Figure 15). The edge of the Monorail will be place on this line. 

Note:

  The concrete pad should be deployed per the project plans supplied with the system. 

Caution:

  Location of the QuadGuard

®

 HS with respect to the hazard is critical 

and dependent on the type on Transition Panel used. See the project plans 

supplied with your system for details.
