PRO SERIES CLAMPS: ENDCLAMP AND FIRST MODULE

21

INSTALL MODULE END CLAMPS: 

The End

clamp is supplied as an assembly with a 1/2"

hex head bolt that is accessible at the ends of

rails. The clamp should be installed on the

rails prior to installing end modules.

INSTALL END CLAMPS ON RAIL:

Slide end clamp on to rail by

engaging the two t-guide brackets 

with the top slot of the rails. 

Ensure 

bolt is extended as far as possible 

so that clamp is positioned at max.

distance from end of rail.

POSITION END CLAMPS:

Slide end clamp assembly

on to rail until bolt head

engages with end of rail

End clamps are positioned on

rails prior to the fi rst end

module and prior to the last

end module.

NOTE: To assist insertion of clamp into

rail slot, Pressure may be applied to

top or side of bracket as shown. Do

not force clamp into rail by pushing

on bolt with excessive force.

INSTALL FIRST MODULE:

Install the fi rst end module 

onto rails with the fl ange of 

the module frame positioned

between end clamps an ends 

of rails.

ENGAGE CLAMP: 

While holding module in position and with 

fl ange in full contact with rail, rotate end clamp bolt until 

clamp engages with fl ange to provide clamp force.

To ensure bolt is not over-torqued, use low torque setting 

on drill or If using an impact driver, stop rotation as soon as 

impact action of driver begins.
Torque End clamp bolt to 5 ft-lbs, No anti-seize

For best appearance, 

position module fl ush 

with ends of rails. Rails 

should not extend more 

than 1/2" beyond module. 

Module must be fully

supported by rails and 

cannot overhang ends 

of rails.
