Assembling Instructions
Assembling the 4-Post Rack
Post Assembly- Corner Brackets
Each set of pressure plates are assembled to the corner brackets prior to delivery.
1. Please verify the following (see Fig. 4):
• Check if pressure plates are attached to the corner bracket with two M12 x 30 socket
low-head bolts.
• Verify that the lockwashers are installed at their proper place as shown.
Fig. 4
2. Fasten the corner bracket assembly to the top of each post. Do so for all four posts.
• Properly insert the two screws (M10 x 75 HEX) through the post and tighten to a torque
of 20 N•m (15 lbf•ft). Secure them with the corresponding locknuts using a 17 mm
socket tool or hexagonal key.
• Verify that the lockwashers are installed at their proper place as shown.
NOTE: At this stage, there is no need to tighten this part of the assembly.

Post Assembly - Levelling Feet
3. Make sure that the levelling feet turn easily and without friction.
• Verify that the M6 x 10 HC screws (part #000.03030) does not protrude into the inner
cavity of the levelling feet before attempting to insert the posts.
Fig. 5
4. Adjust the bottom part of the levelling feet so that there is about 10 mm (3/8 in) play. Insert
each post within its corresponding levelling foot.

Assembling Instructions
• Tighten the M6 x 10 HC screws to a torque of 4 N•m (3 lbf•ft).
Fig. 7
End Stoppers
5. End stoppers must be securely positioned in various places within the Semi-Permanent
Rack system. These stoppers:
• prevent collision contacts between the mobile XY track and the corner brackets;
• make the installation safer by greatly reducing the risk of the mobile track shifting from
its position in the event that the end of the track should be subjected to a violent impact;
• prevent the possibility of the installed track lift from falling from either end of the mobile
track.
Look carefully for information concerning the various installation locations for end stoppers in
the following assembly instructions.
Torque both
screws to 4 N•m
(3 lbf•ft).
Turn
clockwise to
raise post.

rotating the bottom of the levelling feet until the horizontal track is perfectly horizontal.
16. Move the bubble level to the next horizontal track and repeat previous steps until the entire
rack is perfectly levelled.
CAUTION: Make sure that the lockwashers are installed at the proper locations.

Assembling Instructions
Mounting the Mobile Track
The 4-Post Semi-Permanent Rack system is designed to receive a track lift for safe patient
transfers. The track lift is installed on a mobile track that allows the lift to move within the area
spanned by the 4-Post system.
Once all four fixed tracks are joined to their corresponding posts:
17. Slide the mobile track onto the wheeled trolleys suspended under the parallel fixed tracks.
Be sure to include the end stoppers that came wrapped with the XY trolley kit in the right
sequence and direction (see Fig. 13 and Fig. 14).

20. Slide the mobile track completely from one end of the 4-post system to the other end to
ensure that the track is perfectly squared. The mobile track should contact the end stoppers
of the fixed track evenly. If not, loosen the setscrews, readjust the mobile track, and
retighten the setscrews (see Fig. 15).
21. Slide the autolock end stoppers on the mobile track to a distance of 25 mm (1 in) from each
of the XY trolleys (see Fig. 16).
22. Tighten the setscrews on the end stoppers using a 6 mm Allen key (see Fig. 17).
