WARNING
The FlexTrack cable chain is delivered assembled in the FlexTrack. If the cable
chain and/or its content must be modified upon installation, make sure that the
following recommendations are strictly followed. Improper installation of the
cable chain will result in premature wear or damages of the chain and the flexible
cables.
Action
A hole should be made in the cable tray to let all
the cables exit the FlexTrack. All cables should
exit the FlexTrack immediately at the end of the
chain.
If necessary, the edges of the cut tray area should
be covered with rubber edge guard.
The cable tray should be absolutely free of any
object (cable, screw, etc.). The bottom of the cable
tray must be perfectly flat, without bump.
In the cable chain, the cables should be separated
by the "separators", at least every 8 links.
That the mass of the cables and pipes inside the
chain should be balanced. Having all heavy cables
on the same side of the chain could cause prema-
ture wear.
