WARNING! Failure to properly seat the inner rail on the ball bearing retainers can cause integration failure and
immediate or gradual mechanical failure. Serious injury could result.
a. Facing the cabinet, verify that both the top and bottom ball bearing retainers are fully seated.
b. Slide both mid rail slides smoothly on the ball bearing retainers until they are fully forward and engage the inner
leaf spring on the mid rail nearest the front mount bracket.
IMPORTANT Retention against the inner leaf spring is essential for proper rail sequencing and full
engagement of the mid rail on the inner rail.

c. Grasp the right ball bearing retainer, then continuously press it against the right mid rail to make sure it
continues to engage the leaf spring at the very front of the mid rail.
