Installing Track
Hold a full-length track
piece up to the mast and
loosely install the top
screw.
Warning! Do not let
tracks drop, severe
injury can result if the
upper track(s) drop
down.
Use a putty knife to slide
the next slugs and
connector slug in place
and loosely install the
1" (25 mm) screws.
7 Slide tracks up far
enough to fit the
next track.
Mast up: hold upper
tracks, loosen screw that
holds the tracks in place
and slide track up.
Loosen screw enough so
the track will slide up the
mast.
Securely tighten the
new bottom screw.

length tracks are
installed.

length track blocks the
feeder gap, load slugs for
the bottom track
before
installing the full length
track.
Slip slugs below the gap.
Begin with 2" (51 mm)
end stop slug, followed
by the mounting slugs,
and the 4
