SLIDE REMOVAL
Install Slides
With the Glider laid on
a workbench, press
down to release the ZLocks on each side of
the front of the Glider to
slide the side rails back.
The slide rails will reach
a stop about half way
back.
This is a safety stop to
prevent the Glider from
sliding out too far while
mounted in the rack.
Simultaneously press in
the safety catches on
each slide rail and slide
the side rails all the way
off the back of the
Glider.
The slides should now
be separated from the
Glider.

INSTALL THE SLIDES IN CABINET FRAME
Each slide unit includes
the slide rail, the front
Z-Lock mount and the
rear mount.
The top notch of the ZLock must align with
the slide rail top ridge.
On the rear of the
cabinet frame, use
three Phillips screws to
loosely secure the right
and left rear slide
mounts to the cabinet
frame.
DO NOT tighten these
screws fully.
As seen from this
reverse view, align the
slider into the Z-Lock
bracket grooves so all
three screw holes show.
On each slide rail, use
a Phillips screwdriver to
loosen the two adjustment screws toward the
back of the slide rail.
An adjustable wrench
or box wrench may be
used to hold the nut on
the other side of the
slide rail.
On the front of the
cabinet frame, use three
Phillips screws and
washers per side to
secure the right and left
Z-Lock mounts holding
the sliders.
DO NOT tighten these
screws to allow for
adjustment of the Glider
within the cabinet
frame.
At the back of the
cabinest frame, tighten
the slide mounts to the
cabinet frame.
Make sure to hold the
slide mounts hard
against the rack rail.

Install Glider
INSTALL THE GLIDER IN CABINET FRAME
The Glider slides should
move in and out easily.
If not, check alignment
of the slider and Z-Lock
mount.
Pull the two Glider
slides out until they
lock.
Simultaneously press in
the catches on each
slider and move the
Glider all the way into
the cabinet frame.
Feed the cables from
the Glider back through
the cabinet frame.
Guide the Glider into
the slides and slide the
Glider in until it stops.
Hold the Glider on
each side over the back
set of rollers, with the
front into your stomach.
The Glider MUST be
level. This step may
best be done with two
people, one on each
side of the slide rails.
If the Glider binds
during insertion, the
Glider rollers are not
properly aligned into
the slider recepticle.
If aligned properly, the
rollers on the Glider
slide smoothly into and
out of the slider rails.

INSTALLATION TEST
The Glider should easily
close completely.
Slide the Glider in and
out several times. The
Glider should slide in
and out easily.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Slide the Glider partially
out.
Use a flathead screwdriver to slightly move
the Z-Locks in toward or
out from the Glider,
depnding on the need
for best fit. While
holding the Z-Locks at
the proper setting,
tighten the screws on
the Z-Lock mounts.
The Glider should slide
in and out easily. If
not, adjust the position
of the two Z-Locks
again.
Because of variances in
cabinet frames, there
may need to be some
adjustments of the
Glider slide system for
best fit and movement
of the Glider in and
out.
If the Glider binds when
rolling in and out,
perform the following
procedures.
Go to the rear of the
cabinet to tighten the
slider extender rail
scews. If there is not
enough room to work
at the back of the
cabinet, the Glider may
need to be removed to
tighten the rail screws.
The Glider should now
slide in and out
smoothly. If not, repeat
these steps.
