Pre-Installing Sliders
•
Depending on the specific configuration of your rack, it will come with different sizes
and quantities of Sliders. The two types of Sliders are shown below.
•
Some rack configurations may
include a set of Extruded Rail-type
Sliders that are designed to mount
on the reinforced midsection of the
Truss Tube. The square tube
section of these sliders is
noticeably wider.
•
If your rack comes with the wider
Extruded Rail Sliders, install those
first. The correct orientation is with
the tab on the top side of the Truss Tube. The included drawing
may
specify whether
the tab should be on the left or right side. If this is the case, install as directed. If not,
the orientation is not critical.
•
Next, install any regular-size
Extruded Rail Sliders.
•
Finally, install the four Canister
Sliders so that the outside edges
are flush with the ends of the
Truss Tube.
The correct
orientation is with the tabs on
the top side and the
overhanging section of the tabs
facing towards the middle of the
rack.
See drawing.
•
Bolts should be tight enough to
clamp securely on to the Truss
Tube without crushing the square
tube wall.
•
With bolts adequately pre-loaded, tighten jam nuts.
•
Extruded Rail Sliders will be aligned and tightened in a later step.
Canister Installation
•
Important Note: Fluid is driven between canisters via 1/4” copper tube. When
removing the Canister Set from the package and when straightening the transfer
tube, be careful to not crimp it. We recommend that at least two people handle
the canisters to prevent any damage.
•
Orient the Canister Set so that the unit with the wake-up fin is on the west side of the
rack (with the wake-up fin underneath the rack). The transfer tube is designed to enter
from the bottom (underside) of each canister.
•
Bolt the Canister Set to the Canister Sliders with the 3/8” hardware provided. See
drawings below.
