Method 2: Take a look at the layout drawing provided in the instruction packet. There is 
a dimension showing the distance from the cut end of the Extruded Rail to the 
centerline location of the Rail Slider. With the Extruded Rail in the correct orientation – 
the 3/8” slot facing the outside edge of the Rail Slider, and either the 1/4” or 5/16” slot 
on top (depending on hardware used) – mark a line.

Pre-Installing Mounting Hardware

Now that the Extruded Rails have been marked, 
slide the provided module mounting hardware (1/4” 
or 5/16” x 5/8” hex bolts) into the tracks at the 
approximate mounting locations. It is only necessary 
to locate the bolts in the general area of the module 
frame holes – this will make the installation of the 
modules easier. Also slide two 3/8” round head bolts 
to the center of the marked lines.

Installing Rails on Truss Tubes

Using the marked lines as a guide, align the Extruded Rail to the Rail Sliders. Install 
one flat washer and Nylock nut. Loosely tighten the nut.

In the process of installing the rails, use a measuring tape to verify that the rails are 
square and parallel with the rack.
