BUILD TRANSVERSE BRIDGE (Refer to Adapter Assembly Drawing)
1. Please note the X/Y ceiling carriage assembly consists of two rail adapter
subassemblies, two unistrut braces and two transverse rails. It is important to
note the two adapters are not identical; the "guide" adapter can be identified by
the thicker wheels and greater wheel offset, (left adapter in drawing below, note
2). The guide adapter will be fitted with a pair of guide wheel bars later on this
assembly.
2. The bridge assembly can be accomplished in position on the longitudinal rails
on the ceiling (recommended) or on the floor and then end loaded into the
longitudinal rails with a Hi-Jack if there is sufficient room between longitudinal
rail ends and any walls or obstructions. To assemble the bridge structure in place
you must first slide each adapter subassemblies onto the left and right
longitudinal rails. If you have sufficient space between the longitudinal rails and
the wall you can simply end load each adapter. If you do not have adequate
space at the end of the longitudinal rails, you may need to remove the center
wheel subassembly so that you can install the adapters by "rolling" them in from
the inside of the "C" section. See figure below.
3. To side load adapters into longitudinal rails, you must loosen (preferably) or
remove the wheel mounts (items 6 & 7) from the rail adapter carriages (item 2)
by removing the mounting hardware (items 21, 22 & 31). If you have removed
the two center wheel mount subassemblies position them on the rails as you
rotate each adapter into place and align the wheel stud and mounting plate to
the adapter. Once the adapters have been loaded into the rails tighten or
reinstall hardware (with LOCTITE #242 or equivalent) while applying
upward pressure on the wheel to maintain contact with the top of the
longitudinal rails.
