STEP 13 - RUNWAY CONDUCTOR BAR INSTALLATION (SAFPOWRBAR®) (CONT.)
(for Safe-Lec Runway Conductor Bar Installation, go back to Step 12, page 18)
Mounting End Cap
13.20
Ensure that the end of the cover is flush with the conductor bar. Press the end cap’s
rectangular boss in to the top channel of the conductor bar until the cap is seated against
the end of the bar. The cover will need to be tucked into the end cap as it is slid on. A
small rubber mallet may make the installation easier (
diagrams 13W
and
13X
).
Installation of ST Collectors
13.21
ST collectors mount to drive idler heads with a steel rod that is bolted to the collector and
slips into a bracket on the heads.
Note
: Collectors must be installed “inboard” of the drive or idler heads so they ride on the
conductor bar between the heads. For 2+2 conductor bar systems, one collector is
mounted near each wheel. For 3+1 systems, two collectors mount near one of the wheels.
The inner collector must ride in the inner conductor and the outer collector must ride in
the outer conductor. The collector opposite this pair must ride in the middle conductor,
with the single collector riding in the single conductor. Verify that the collectors do not
interfere with each other. For other configurations, contact
Customer Service for collector orientations.
13.22
Place shoe on split collector stem with “DOWN” marking in
the down position on the stem. Ensure that the shoe is fully
seated on the shoulder of the shaft and tighten the set screw
to hold the shoe firmly in place (
diagram 13Y
).

bar at the end of a run must be cut off flush with the cover before installing end cap.
