MagnaTrack ST

4 Installation

4.1 Pre-installation

Check the unit for any transport damage. In case of
damage or missing parts, notify the carrier and your
local Nederman representative immediately.

See

Figure 2

Before MagnaTrack ST can be installed, a suitable po-
sition must be determined in relation to the vehicle’s
parking space in the station. The vehicle’s parking pos-
ition must be on the opposite side of the rail.

The distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the
rail should normally be 3–4 m (10–13 ft). The rail is to
be installed at least 0.3 m (1 ft) from walls, pillars etc.
The distance from the rail’s leading edge to the sta-
tion door should be as short as possible. Make sure the
door can open freely without interference to the rail.
If MagnaTrack ST is to be used between two vehicles,
the distance between the vehicles must be at least 1.2
m (4 ft).

The entire system is to be protected against rain.

WARNING! Risk of personal injury
When mounting MagnaTrack ST, check that the
system will not snag protruding parts on the
vehicle when driving in or out.

4.2 Rail, trolley, hose and cable

See

Figure 3

• Fasten the mounting chains, approximately 2,4 m (8

ft) apart, in every other profile. Place all the rail pro-
files in line with each other on the floor, as shown
in the figure. Screw the profiles together with the
lengthening joints.

See

Figure 4

When mounting the rail, ensure that suitable fixing
bolts are used considering the ceiling construction
material and the traction forces in the suspension
points.
• Lift the whole rail and fit it in the ceiling. The mount-

ing devices are to be fixed in bars, brackets or similar
arrangements according to the examples. The first
and the last mounting bracket should be braced,
see items 1 and 2. All mounting brackets are to be
braced with bracing bars positioned sideways ac-
cording to item 3 or 4.

See

Figure 5

and

Figure 6

• For rail lengths under 9.5m (31 ft): Fit the duct con-

nector over a rail joint as near the middle of the rail
as possible.

• For rail lengths from and above 9.5m (31 ft): Fit the

duct connector within the maximum distance from
from the rear end according to item Y. Item X indic-
ates the full action range.

• Mount the additional hose suspension (if applic-

able), the trolley with balancer and fit the balancer
cord in the 90°-bend.

See

Figure 9

Fit the microswitch on the front part of the guide
track according to item 1. The exact distance from
the front edge of the guide track must be checked
according to the installation checklist, see

Sec-

tion 4.7 Installation checklist

Fit the cable on the top of the guide track accord-
ing to item 2.

Fit the shock absorber in the front edge of the
guide track according to item 3.

Fit screw and nut at the back edge of the guide
track according to item 4.

4.3 Exhaust pipe

See

Figure 10

. The pipe is to be straight and lie flush

with or protrude slightly out from the side of the
vehicle. Also, note the minimum distances from the
bottom of the coachwork and the back wheel. It is pos-
sible that modifications may be required to the ex-
haust system of the vehicle to ensure the optimum
position of the exhaust pipe.

4.4 Anchor plate

See

Figure 10

. The anchor plate is to be fitted to the

side of the vehicle 600 mm (2 ft) from the exhaust
pipe. If necessary this distance can be changed (+100
mm (4 in), –25 mm (–1 in)) by loosening the adjusting
screw in the electromagnetic unit, see

Figure 11

4.5 Nozzle: EPDM

See

Figure 11

Fit the nozzle leaf spring in the electromagnet-
ic unit with the adjusting screw as shown in the
figure. Fit the hose in the magnetic unit with
the hose clip and cover with the rubber ring.
Check that the nozzle, when not connected to the
vehicle, is pointing forward in the driving direc-
tion.

To adjust the nozzle after fitting the anchor plate,
use the adjusting screw marked X to move the leaf
spring some upwards or downwards.

NOTE!
If the leaf spring is moved upwards it must not
come in contact with the upper hose. If nec-
cessary its upper end should be cut off.

See

Figure 12

item A or B.

• Locate the nozzle on to the exhaust pipe and secure

the electromagnetic unit on the anchor plate mak-
ing sure the hose is tensioned correctly. The hose
