FTS Glide Assembly and Maintenance Guide: Assembling the Equipment 

 

Assembly takes professional installers about one hour to complete. If this is 

the first time you have assembled this type of equipment, plan on significantly 

more time.   

Assembly Tips 

 

Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use. Use only those holes 

indicated in the instructions and illustrations. 

 

Read all caution notes on each page before completing that step. 

 

While you may be able to assemble the equipment by following the 

illustrations only, refer to the text for important safety cautions and notes. 

CAUTION: At least two people are required to position the parts of this 

equipment successfully. Do not attempt to assemble the equipment by 

yourself. 

Proper alignment and adjustment of the equipment is critical. When you install 

fasteners, leave room for adjustments. 

Do not fully tighten the fasteners until you 

are instructed to do so
