DETERMINE SLIDE KIT LENGTH
1.
The slide kit should be chosen based on the distance from rail to rail inside the
rack. Measure dimension A to determine the proper slide kit length, ensuring
the slide length does not exceed dimensions A + B (
Figure B
).
NOTE:
If choosing 36” slides, 9050 Receiver p/n 310104483 must be chosen as it is
specially designed for this length of slide with the inclusion of a longer instrument
bracket.
SLIDE INSTALLATION
1.
The height and weight of the 9050 and 9050TR require the use of 2 sets of
slides for full support. Determine the desired approximate rack location to
mount receiver and platform. The 9050 includes 2 instrument brackets, one
for each tier, that can support a test chassis for close proximity access (
Figure
A
). Keep in mind, when selecting a receiver location that any system cables
will need to be long enough to connect to instrumentation and allow for slides
to fully extend without putting tension on the cables.
2.
Install both sets of slides using manufacturer’s instructions (included with
slide packaging or online at accuride.com). A distance of 9.88 [250.83] is
required from the top rear of the top set of slides to the top rear of the bottom
set of slides (
Figure C
).
3.
Make sure to horizontally match the location of the rack mounting holes
used for each tier of slides. Do not fully tighten down the 4 front and 4 rear
mounting screws at this time, on each tier of slides (
Figure D
).
