Fasten the Rail to the Motor Unit

• Insert a 1/4"-20x1-3/4 bolt into the cover protection bolt

hole on the back end of the rail as shown. Tighten
securely with a 1/4"-20 lock nut. Do NOT overtighten.

• Place the “U” bracket, flat side down, on the motor unit

and align the bracket holes with the bolt holes. Fasten
with the previously removed bolts.

Slide the rail end onto the “U” bracket, all the way to
the stops that protrude on the top and sides of the
bracket.

hang until Assembly Step 5.

center should be pre-greased. If dry, regrease to
ensure proper operation.
