Installation
Gear Rack Assembly
Identify the two gear rack pieces (Fig. 7) with the pre-attached LCI SlimRack® stickers. These gear racks are
the lower gear rack pieces for both the LH and RH columns. The exterior end brackets will be pre-installed
from the factory. Once identified, the labels should be oriented facing up and to the exterior side of the
column. The upper and lower gear racks are ready for installation into the SlimRack® columns.
Installing the Gear Rack Assembly
Note:
The term "timing" refers to the synchronizing of both the upper and lower gear rack assemblies
within the SlimRack® columns. The SlimRack® System will not function correctly unless properly
timed. If the upper and lower gear rack assemblies are not inserted into the columns equally, the
SlimRack® System will be out of synchronization. If both the upper and lower gear racks are in time,
then the gear racks will both be flush with the outside of the drive blocks simultaneously.
