The MWC/BWC assembly tool is maintenance-free. Check the assembly tool regularly
and replace it if necessary, as extended use may lead to signs of wear on the sliding
components.
The manual MWC assembly tool is recommended by SCHNEEBERGER for proper
installation of MAC cover strips and can be obtained from SCHNEEBERGER separately.
Installation procedure for one-piece strips
Fig.84
Minimum length
• Minimum length for guide rails with cover strip without fixing bracket: L3 ≥ 600 mm
• Where guide rail length < 600 mm, fixing brackets must be used to secure strip
ends against lengthwise slippage (see „Completing installation of one-part and
multi-part strips" on page 45).
Alignment
1. Lay the cover strip loose on the guide rail.
2. Adjust the cover strip so that it is positioned centrally.
• Where the standard end pieces are included for securing the strip, the strip will
be slightly longer than the guide rail.
• A correctly-aligned strip should have 2 – 3.5 mm of overhang at each rail end.
NOTE: Ensure that this value is observed for proper functioning of the end pieces.
Installation
1. Mount the MWC/BWC assembly tool onto one end of the guide rail.
Ș
Handle will point towards guide rail end.
2. Press the strip into the guide rail groove:
a) Begin approximately 100 - 200 mm from the guide rail end
b) Simultaneously tilt the tool and move it forwards.
Ș The strip will snap audibly into the groove.
