Separating the inner rails from the outer and mid rails
The rails come in the shipping container with a inner rail inside each of the outer and mid rail sub-assemblies. You must
separate them before attaching outer and mid rail sub-assemblies to the rack cabinet and inner rails to the storage
enclosure.
To separate the inner rails from the outer and mid rail sub-assemblies:
1.
Remove each rail assembly from its packaging, orienting the one with the L embossed on it is to your left, the rail
assembly with the R embossed on it is to your right, and embossed arrows for both pointing up.

2.
Examine the rails to distinguish each component, particularly the ball bearing retainer and mid rail.
WARNING!
Carefully inspect the rails. Do not use damaged or warped rails. Return them. Rail failure can allow
the storage enclosure to fall and result in serious injury since the load on them can exceed 300 lb (136 kg).
3.
(Optional) Clip an end cap into the slots at the rear outer side of each rail, locking it in place.
4.
Extend the mid and inner rail on the outer rail of the left rail assembly until the safety lock engages with a click.
