Cable Guides to Support Rail using #8
x 3/4” screws. Use the Cable Guides to
pre-drill holes thru the Support Rail
with a 3/16” bit.
Attach Top Rails before installation of Post Cap Lights. Use the holes
that were pre-drilled through the Cable Guides to attach the Top
Rail. FAILURE TO USE THESE HOLES MAY RESULT IN WIRE DAMAGE.
