Preparing the Track
1. Select the appropriate length of aluminum track.
2. Calculate the length of track required, keeping in mind the
following measurements: each end stop is .39" [10 mm] wide
and each carriage 4.37" [111mm] long.
3. Cut track to the determined length. Multiple lengths of track
may be butted together for a longer span. When joining
multiple lengths of track, pinning the track ends together
provides increased stability.
4. Using the centerline on the front face of the track for
guidance, measure along the length of the track and drill
fixing holes as required. Each hole should be .17" [4.2mm]
in diameter, fully countersunk. Holes should be placed 4–8"
[100–200mm] apart and between 2–3" [50–75mm] from each
end of the track (Figure 1).
5. Using the two guidelines on the back of the track, measure
.20" [5mm] in from each end of the track and drill holes .17"
[4.2mm] in diameter, fully countersunk. Two holes per end,
four holes total (Figure 2).
6. If the track is to be permanently joined using the drill jig,
place the jig within the end(s) to be joined, clamp it to the
track surface and manually drill through the jig holes, into the
end of the track using a 3mm drill bit. The depth of this hole is
dependent on the size of pin that will be used. Note: Pins are
not supplied (Figure 3).
7. Clean the track of any particles and proceed to the assembly
stage.
8. Fix one end stop to one end of the track using two screws.
Leave the other end of the track open (Figure 4).
Installing the Carriage
9. Align the outer plastic sheath of the carriage to the aluminum
track and butt the end of the plastic sheath against the end
of track (Figure 5).
10. Slide the carriage from the plastic sheath into the aluminum
track (Figure 6).
Important Note:
Ensure the plastic sheath is fully pressed against the
aluminum track before sliding the carriage through; otherwise
the unit will fall out and drop ball bearings. Use a flat and
even surface for this action to avoid misalignment.
11. Repeat until all carriages are installed within the confines of
the track.
12. Install the other end stop using two screws. Mount slide as
desired.
