Mounting The Platform On The Track; Assembling The Track Sections; Mounting The Top Bracket; Raising The Track - RGC PRO400 Instructions Manual

3.3 MOUNTING THE PLATFORM ON THE TRACK

1. Refer to Figure 3-3. Both models have the track cross ties offset from the center of the rails to allow passage of the
platform wheels. Before erecting the track, lay the bottom 16-foot track section on the ground with the track shoes as
shown with the greater cross tie offset on top (2-1/4").
2. The assembled platform slides onto the rails from the end of the track section opposite the shoes. The wooden
platform bumper should face the shoes. Roll the platform down the track without striking the shoes and securely tie it
to any cross tie to prevent movement when raising the track.
3. When mounting the platform on the track, check the following:
A) The upper and middle wheels should contact the rails without application of light pressure. With light pressure
on the PRO400 models, the middle and lower wheels should contact the rails.
B) Make sure the wooden bumper is not split. Do NOT remove the bumper.

3.4 ASSEMBLING THE TRACK SECTIONS

The standard sectional platform hoist consists of three sections of track: a 16 foot bottom section with shoes, an 8 foot and
a 4 foot section, both with splice plates bolted permanently to their bottom end. These sections may be joined together
with their splice plates by sliding the bottom of one section into the top of the lower section and installing the hex nuts
and bolts provided. Tracks of 16 feet, 20 feet, 24 feet, and 28 feet can be assembled as desired from these three sections.
Select a length that allows the top of the assembled rail to project 2 to 2-1/2 feet above the edge of roof.
For longer track lengths, a 16 foot center section with splice plates attached is available to provide tracks up to 44 feet.
Lengths over 28 feet require a Track Support for additional support for these long tracks. Installation instructions for the
Track Support are in Section 3.7. All bolts and nuts must be tightened securely to prevent track failure under load.

3.5 MOUNTING THE TOP BRACKET

Slide the top bracket into the end of the top track section, aligning the mounting holes on the top bracket with those on the
track. Bolt securely to the track using the four 3/8 x 3/4" carriage bolts and four 3/8" wing nuts provided. The track is
now ready to be raised to its operating position.

3.6 RAISING THE TRACK

WARNING:
THE HOISTING OPERATION MUST BE CLEAR OF ALL ELECTRICAL LINES AND
