ASSEMBLY STEP 2

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.

• Remove the two bolts from the top of the motor unit.

• 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.

• Align the rail assembly with the top of the motor unit. Slide the

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

ASSEMBLY STEP 3

Install the Idler Pulley

• Lay the belt beside the rail, as shown. Grasp the end with the

hooked trolley connector and pass approximately 12" (30 cm)
of belt through the window. Keep the ribbed side toward the
rail, and allow it to hang until Assembly Step 5.

• Remove the tape from the idler pulley. The inside center should

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

• Place the idler pulley into the window as shown.

• Insert the idler bolt from the top through the rail and pulley.

Tighten with a 3/8" lock washer and nut underneath the rail
until the lock washer is compressed.

• Rotate the pulley to be sure it spins freely.

• Insert a 1/4"-20x1-3/4" bolt into the trolley stop hole in the

front of the rail as shown. Tighten securely with a 1/4"-20
lock nut.
