Push the sides of the lower half of the front
side of the chassis.

Chassis mounting brackets.
Lower the lift until it is no more than 0.25 inches below the bottom support rails. This action ensures
Step 5
that the chassis is not pointing downwards in a way that might get it caught on the expansion edge of the
bottom support rails.
With the chassis flat on the bottom support rails, use two persons to push evenly on each side of the
Step 6
chassis until it is fully loaded onto the rack (the two mounting brackets on the front of the chassis come
into contact with the two vertical mounting rails on the front of the rack). Use a third person to guide the
chassis so that the rear of the chassis (the side being pushed into the rack) does not get caught on any
edges of the bottom support rails.
Make sure that the screw holes in the chassis mounting brackets align with the screw holes in the vertical
Step 7
mounting rails.
If you need to reposition the chassis to align the screw holes, you can use the handles on the sides of the
chassis.
