To adjust the placement of the chassis on the bottom-support rails, you can use the handles on the sides of
the chassis.
Tip
Step 5 If the mechanical lift is raised above the height of the bottom-support rails, gently lower it to the level of the rails or
no more than 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) below the rails.
This action helps to prevent the bottom of the chassis from getting caught on the bottom expansion edges of the
bottom-support rails.
Step 6 Push the chassis all the way onto the rack so that the vertical mounting brackets on the chassis come in contact with
the vertical mounting rails on the rack.
Step 7 Use seven M6 x 19 mm or 24 x 3/4-inch screws to attach each of the two vertical mounting brackets on the chassis to
the two vertical mounting rails on the rack (total of 14 screws). See the following image.
