ACORN 80 Maintenance & Service Manual
SECTION 7
Dismantling Components
7.6.1 Transfer Rails
7.6 Carriage
With the seat removed the carriage assembly weighs 39 Kilograms (86 pounds). When removing the carriage it
is transferred onto the transfer rail, which will increase the total weight to 43.4 Kilograms (96 pounds). Servicing
Engineers must use suitable safe lifting procedures to handle this weight.
7.6.2 Carriage Removal
New Carriages are supplied mounted onto a transfer rail. These can be retained after installation and used for
subsequent servicing. Ensure any sharp edges at the ends are chamfered off with a file.
1
Remove the seat from the carriage – see Seat Removal.
2 Remove a section of rail, leaving the top joint box (TJ) into
the rail section.
3 Fit the transfer rail (T) and cover the joint box. The carriage
may be transferred onto a horizontal section of rail or a
sloping section as shown here. Locate with one screw.
4 Fit the winding handle (W) onto the top of the drive motor,
and then wind the carriage onto the transfer rail.
5 The transfer rail has a rack fixed to it so the carriage can
be run fully onto the rail.
PULL THE CARRIAGE OFF OF THE RAIL SLOWLY TO AVOID ACTIVATING THE OSG.
IF THE RAIL IS CUT AT AN ANGLE YOU MAY HAVE TO TAKE OUT THAT SECTION TO ACHIEVE A
STRAIGHT CUT, SO TRANSFER RAIL WILL MATE UP CORRECTLY.
