NOTE:
Cutting should be done preferably from the dead end of the
track.
Step 1.
Remove dead end fitting and pull copper bus bars and insula-
tors flush or even with one end of the track.
Step 2.
With hacksaw, cut the flush end (the side with insulators and
bus bars even to end) to desired length. Be sure to allow 1/8”
for dead end fitting which must be reinstalled to the track end.
Step 3.
Remove all burrs from the track, insulators and copper bus
bars.
Step 4.
Push copper bus bars back into the insulators 3/8” from the
end of the insulators.
NOTE: After you complete Step 4, bus bar insulators should be
a minimum of 3/8” and a maximum of 1/2” from each end of the
insulator. If this is not the case, make appropriate modifications.
Step 5.
Reinstall the dead end and/or appropriate feed connector and
tighten the screw.
CAUTION:
After track has been field cut, make certain that
each length of track that is 4 feet or less in length has one
mounting opening spaced a maximum of 6 inches from each
track end section. A single section of track that is greater than 4
feet in length must have mounting openings a maximum of 12
inches from each end of the track with additional openings a
minimum of every 4 feet long the length of the track section.
Additional openings may be provided as needed.
If additional mounting holes are required, follow this procedure:
Step 1.
Locate desired mounting hole(s) on the inside of the
track section along the center line.
Step 2.
Using 3/16” diameter drill bit, drill hole through the
track channel.
Caution:
Take care that you do not damage the bus bar
insulators during the drilling operation. If you
accidentally damage any insulators, discard the track
section. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE IT IN THE
INSTALLATION.
Step 3.
Remove all burrs and install track as described
above.

sheets are packed with each connector.
