Installing the Modules:

Starting along the lower left or right corner 
of the table, slide the end clamp onto the 
end of the module mounting rail (ST-AK 
60/37 or ST-AK 66/37).

Place the first module onto the rails in 
landscape mode and position it against 
the end clamps. Fasten the end clamp 
screws by turning them counterclockwise to 
tighten the end clamp to the module frame. 
(Torque: 6 to 8 ft. lbs.). 

See Figure 10.2 & 10.3

Two end-clamps are used 
on each end of a column of 
landscape oriented modules. 

See Figure 10.3

Once the module is 
mounted, click the  
mid clamp onto the 
module rail and slide the 
clamp onto the module 
frame. 

See Figure 10.4

Now, slide the next module under the mid 
clamp. Next, adjust the mid clamp to the 
module height, and tighten the hardware 
clockwise. 

See Figures 10.5 & 10.6 

(Torque: 6 to 8 ft. lbs)

Continue process on all rows of modules. 
Module end clamps will also be installed 
in the same manner as Figure 10.7 on the 
opposite end of the table.
