5. Make a mental note of which side of the lower slide
extrusion the mounting holes are on. Release the slide lock
handle and remove the lower slide extrusions by sliding
them in the direction opposite the release handle.
6. Place the lower slide extrusions within the 4 outside corner
marks on the cardboard, be sure the mounting holes are
on the correct side. Measure the distance between the rails
and confirm the dimension as the same measurement
recorded in step 2. Carefully mark the position of the 6
mounting holes so as not to move the rails out of position.
7. Drill 6 pilot holes of suitable size for the screws to be used.
Remove the cardboard or poster board and discard.
8. Fasten rails to the mounting surface. Continue checking the
rails for proper position using the measurement from step
2 before finishing tightening of screws. Remember, it is
critical that the rails remain parallel in order to slide. If
this instruction is not followed the slide will bind and not
slide freely.
9. Carefully line up seat and rails, slide seat into position from
front to back. The release handle will have to be in the
released position in order for full engagement of the rails.
10. Test the operation of the slide by sitting in the seat and
moving the release handle to the full left, push back with
your feet and the slide should move smoothly to the rear.
Pull forward and the slide should move forward. There
should be a slight resistance from the viscosity of the grease
but there should not be any binding. If the slide binds, then
the rails are improperly installed and need to be adjusted
as instructed in steps 6 through 8.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Sit in the seat with feet flat on the deck. Grasp slide lock
release handle and move it to the left until it stops. Push to
the rear with your feet and the slide will adjust to the rear.
Release the handle and the lock will automatically hunt for
the next stop position. There is a lock position every inch
for approximately 6" of adjustment. To adjust forward,
repeat the above procedure except to pull with your feet
and the slide will adjust forward. Release the handle and
the unit will find a stop position.
2. To maintain proper operation over time, it is recommended
that the slide rails and locking pin be lubricated
occasionally with a light grease. Lubricants have a
tendency to dissipate over time and as this happens the
slide will become difficult to operate. Use a light marine or
automotive grease and brush a thin coat on all
mating/sliding surfaces.
