15) Mount the rail to the trolleys. One trolley must have slackened screws.
NB! While mounting the cross-rail, it is very important to support the conductor trolley (the trolley with the carbon
sliders) as the carbon sliders will be damaged if the trolley is forced into an angle.
When lifting up a single cross-rail, it is an advantage if the trolleys are not directly opposite.
16) Move the endstops of the fixed rails to their correct positions, normally at the rail ends. Make a test run of
the cross-rail, one trolley fastened and one with slackened screws, to ensure that rail 1 and 2 are parallel.
If so, fasten the bolts of rail 2.
9a) In-rail charging:
Insert conductor rail and insulator along the
length of the rail. On the charging kit (1) of the
traverse trolley, remove the two pins
reducing the stroke of the springs.
9b) End point charging:
Insert the included conductor rail and insulator on both sides
and in each end of the rail. If wall brackets are used: insert
coach bolts with washers into the upper trail of the rail.

10) Lift up the rail.
11) Mount the rail to the wall/ceiling.
12) Insert the conductor rail into the cross-rail (if not done from factory). Mount the two short wires later to be
connected to the carbon slider of the trolley. For details see 6.4: Rail systems with full room coverage.
13) If wall brackets: mount the brackets for rail 2. Mount the rail with trolley, endstops etc. Do not fasten the
topbolts too much, as rail 2 is to be aligned after mounting the cross-rail. If ceiling brackets: it is important to
check that the rails are completely parallel before fastening the bolts of rail 2.
14) Insert the ceiling lift unit into the cross-rail.
For details, see 5: Accessories - ceiling lift
units and read the user manual.
NB! Press the carbon slider in before
inserting. Mount the endstops close
on each side of the lift unit to secure it
while lifting the cross-rail.
