8.  Add spacers and washers to the suspension shafts on both sides of the suspension block. Add spacers and 

washers so that dimension A in FIG. 2 on p. 5 is 

at most

 1/16in. longer than half the flange width (calculated 

in step 7).  

9.  Slide the suspension block onto the suspension shafts. Orient the block with the hand chain of the trolley on 

the opposite side from the hand chain of the trolley. 

10.  Add exactly the same number of spacers and washers on the other side of the suspension block. 
11.  Reinstall the left side plate. 
12.  Slide the spacers and washers that were removed to the ends of the suspension shafts. Maintain symmetry 

when adding spacers and washers, i.e. add the same number and type of spacers/washers to each shaft. 
(See FIG. 4) 
 
 

 

 
 
 

13.  Install the trolley on the lower 

flange of the beam. Track rollers 
ride on the top of the lower 
flange. [NOTE: One end of both 
suspension shafts was left 
unassembled to allow the trolley 
to be installed on the beam 
flange.] 

14.  Reinstall the crown nuts (1) and 

washers (2). Tighten the nuts 
and secure the connections with 
cotter pins (34).  

 
Test the trolley by rolling it several 
feet along the beam flange. If 
necessary, washers and spacers can 
be added symmetrically (on both 
sides of both suspension shafts) to 
allow the trolley to roll more freely. 
However, total clearance between 
the edge of the beam flange and the 
track roller flanges cannot be more 
than 1/8in. (3mm) or 1/16in. per side. 
(Shown by white arrows in FIG. 5). 
 

 

Add the same number and type of 
left over spacers and washers to 
each suspension shaft 

Add the same number and type 
of washers and/ or spacers 

Add the same number and type 
of washers and/ or spacers
