Install the GearTrack®Channels
Masonry Block/Poured Concrete Wall
1. Use a level to position the GearTrack®channel at the desired height
on the wall.
2. Drill a hole through the GearTrack®channel and into the wall surface.
3. Secure the GearTrack®channel to the wall by placing
3
⁄16" x 13⁄4"
(4.45 cm) flat-head masonry screws every 24" (60.96 cm) in every slot.
NNOOTTEE::
Channels cut to shorter than 24" (60.96 cm) long should not
be used.
4. For extra hold, you may put construction adhesive on the GearTrack®
channel before attaching it to the wall.
5. Repeat this process for the next desired application area.
6. Make sure all screws are installed and flush with the
channel.
Drywall over Wooden Studs or Bare Wooden Studs
1. Locate all wooden studs and electrical wiring. Mark the wall(s).
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT::
Compare screw length to electrical wire locations. Be
sure the screw will not pierce electrical wiring.
2. GearTrack®channels should be mounted to the wall so that they
begin and end at wooden studs. Measure from the edge of the stud
at the beginning of the desired coverage area to the center of the
last wooden stud that is within 4 ft (1.22 m).
3. If necessary, cut the first channel to this length, making sure the cut
is square.
NNOOTTEE::
Channels cut to shorter than 24" (60.96 cm) long should not
be used.
4. Check that the GearTrack®channel is level. Then place a screw in
every slot at every stud location.
NNOOTTEE::
Drive the screws through the slot groove until they are flush.
If splitting occurs, predrill and countersink the screw holes near
channel ends.
5. Repeat this process for the next desired application area.
6. Make sure all screws are installed and flush with the
channel.
