Rail Position Detail
1. Verify the alignment of the ends of the two front slide/rail assemblies (#13). The front edge of the slide rail should be aligned
with the notch in the front outer rail-adapter as shown in Rail Position Detail in the illustration. If necessary, adjust the
alignment of each rail assembly by loosening the two panhead screws (#3), reposition the ends of the slide rail until aligned,
then tighten the two screws.
2. Using two slotted, panhead screws (#3), two flat washers (#6), and two Kepnuts (#4) for each assembly, attach the rear outer
rail-adapters (#14) to the front slide/rail assemblies (#13) as shown. Do not fully tighten the screws at this time. Ensure that
the flange on the rear outer rail adapter is facing the same direction as the flange on the front slide/rail assemblies, as shown
in the illustration.
