    Component Identification NOTE: The following components will be referred to in the sections to follow. Aluminum extruded rail 15. Floor end cover protector Rail tie plates under the floor 16. Center flange wheel moveable Stationary Base carriage section Rail leveler locations 17.
  • Page 8: Installation

    Installation Assembling Rail Base Arrange the aluminum extruded rail (channel side down) on the floor near the final location. Various rail lengths are provided for different system configurations. Make sure all splices line up. NOTE: To keep the rail assembly square, loosely install all self-tapping screws. Once alignment is confirmed, tighten screws in a random sequence.
  • Page 9 Installation Locating and Leveling Rail Base Position rail channel side up in the final location. If installing the unit against a wall, place the rail assembly 2-1/2” plus the depth dimension of the stationary base away from the back wall. Insert leveling screws at each rail leveler location.
  • Page 10 Installation Leveling Stationary Bases Position a stationary base over the edge of the back rail assembly. The stationary base has a notched spacer channel that will mate with the rail edge. NOTE: The appliance leveler is completely raised in the stationary base at this point. NOTE: Use a 1/4”...
  • Page 11 Installation Assembling Stationary Bases NOTE: A specially designed tab and hole interlocking system is used to attach many of the following pieces. Use a rubber or dead blow mallet to assemble. Using the interlocking system, attach a stationary end piece with two of the previously installed stationary bases.
  • Page 12 Installation Assembling Floor and Ramp Insert floor sections between the assembled rails. The under side of each floor sec- tion has a routed slot that attaches to a formed rail. A slot is also routed across the end of each floor section. Tap a biscuit type splice plate into the center of each slot. The next floor section will share this splice plate producing a stabilized joint between floor sections.
  • Page 13 Installation Assembling Moveable Carriage NOTE: The reinforcement block is attached to the first and last moveable carriages only, located on the extreme left and right of the moveable carriages directly over the back rail. The reinforcement block serves as part of the In-Rail end stop. Install the reinforcement block to the movable carriage section with the center flange wheel using a machine screw.
  • Page 14 Installation Assembling Moveable Carriage (continued) Moveable end covers are attached to each moveable carriage to cover the wheel mechanism. Interlock one end in place and use a slotted screwdriver to slightly pry the other end into place. Once aligned with the holes, tap the cover into place using a rubber or dead blow mallet.
  • Page 15 Installation Assembling Stationary Shelving Set shelving on top of the stationary bases. Attach the stationary side cover by inter- locking one end in place and use a slotted screwdriver to slightly pry the other end in to place. Once aligned with the holes, tap the cover in place using a rubber or dead blow mallet.
  • Page 16 Installation Assembling Stationary Shelving (continued) Secure the shelving in place using Tek screws at each bracket location. Place the soft cover bumper over the stationary bracket rivet and slide down into place. Secure cover at the bottom using pan head screw. Secure the shelving to the stationary base at each rear corner using Tek screws.
  • Page 17 Installation Assembling Moveable Carriage Bracket NOTE: Each moveable carriage requires two stationary brackets and two moveable brackets. All four corners of a moveable carriage will require brackets. The sta- tionary brackets prevent the shelving from moving side to side and serve as an In-Rail anti-tip device.
  • Page 18 Installation Assembling Bi-File and Tri-File Overhead Anti-Tip ® ® NOTE: Angle brackets and field assembled hardware from page 4 (Bi-File ) and 5 (Tri- ® File ) are installed as part of an overhead anti-tip device. When moveable shelving ® reaches a certain height an overhead Anti-tip device must be incorporated.
  • Page 19 Installation Assembling Bi-File and Tri-file Overhead Anti-Tip (continued) ® ® The field assembled anti-tip (angle bracket with bearing) is attached to the moveable shelving carriage in similar fashion as in the previous three steps. Align the bracket and roller guide as shown below. The Tri-File field assembled anti-tip hardware detailed on Page 5 is attached in the ®...

    System Expansion Expansion installation NOTE: The following information deals only with the additional steps required for adding moveable carriages to either the length or depth of an existing system. Customers may expand their systems in either way. A basic Bi-File system will begin with two ®...
  • Page 21 System Expansion Expanding Bi-File to Tri-File ® ® NOTE: In all cases leave screws loose until alignment is confirmed. Once alignment is confirmed, tighten screws in a random sequence. The following configuration is done at each end of rail assemblies. Assemble the rail expansion sections to be used.
  • Page 22 System Expansion Expanding Tri-File Length ® NOTE: In all cases leave screws loose until alignment is confirmed. Once confirmed, tight- en them in a random sequence. The following configuration is done at each end of rail assemblies. Assemble the rail expansion sections to be used. Refer back to Rail Assembly, pages 8 &...
