NOTE: All shelving used on a Datum Bi/Tri Slider system must have the same overall height. The
shelving must also have a minimum of 1-1/2" of clearance from the floor to the filing surface of the
bottom shelf.
TOOLS REQUIRED: 7/16" wrench & socket set
7/32" socket
small flat blade screwdriver
phillips screwdriver
5/16" drill bit
screw gun
4 foot bubble level
water level, laser level or transit

STEP 1: Assemble the rear stationary shelving sections according to the manufacturer's instructions
and position on the floor. Be sure to level this row before moving on to the next assembly step.
When using Datum stackable shelving you must use 2" bases with built-in leveling guides and 1"
tops. It is recommended that stationary sections be secured to wall.
STEP 2: Attach the top stabilizer channels to the tops of the stationary sections. Position each
channel flush with the front and even with the sides of each of the top section (Holes are pre-
punched in the 1" high top when using Datum Stackable Shelving.) Attach the channel using three
1/4-20 X 3/4" bolts and flange nuts. Repeat for each rear stationary section. (See figure 1.)
STEP 2A: FOR TRI/QUAD SLIDER SYSTEM ONLY. Follow directions in step 2; however, attach
additional top stabilizer channels directly in back of the first row using three 1/4-20 x 3/4" bolts and
flange nuts. (As described in step 2, holes are pre-punched for Bi and Tri-Slider hat channels only
when using Datum 1" high tops.) Repeat for each rear stationary section.
NOTE: For Quad-Slider systems it will be necessary to pre-drill tops for attachment of top stabilizer
channel.

NOTE: All systems will consist of one starter rail assembly and the required amount of add-on rail
assemblies. Example: A B632LT consists of (1) #36LTBSST; starter and (2) 36LTBSAO; add-on
(Part numbers are found on each box.) The starter rail assembly contains one section of rail and
hardware. The add-on rail assembly contains one section of rail, hardware and one mobile carriage.
All mobile carriages are preset at the factory to include 2" of overtravel. Systems up to a 4/3
configuration for Bi/Tri/Quad do not require overtravel. Overtravel can be increased or decreased as
needed, please refer to the diagram below for more information.
STEP 3: Install 12 leveling glides per rail section making sure that each one is screwed in and flush
with the bottom of the rail assembly.
STEP 4: Position stationary connector channels on the front bottom of each stationary base. Attach
each connector channel using a minimum of (4) #8 x 3/8" tek screws (See figure 2, detail A).
STEP 5: Join rail assemblies together using (4) 1/4-20 X 3/4" bolts and flange nuts. Rail sections will
have corresponding holes for attaching side to side (See figure 2, detail B2). Position rail assembly
on floor, do not attach to connector channel at this time.
STEP 6: Attach the deck end cap to the rail section starting from the left end of the rail assembly
using (2) 1/4"-20 X 3/4" bolts and flange nuts (See figure 2; details B1, B3). Repeat procedure for
right side of system.

STEP 8: LEVELING: Determine highest point on the rail assembly. Working out from this point,
level the rail by adjusting the leveling glides. IMPORTANT! For system to function properly all rails
must be level from left-to-right, front-to-back, and rail to rail. All leveling glides must be in contact
with the
floor.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Read through these instructions again insuring that all steps were completed.
2) Recheck and tighten any loose bolts or fittings.
3) Check to see that all top stabilizer channels are securely fastened to the tops of the stationary sections.
4) Check to insure that the end stops are securely fastened to the rail assemblies.
5) If attaching stationary section to wall make sure to follow manufacturers recommendations.
LOADING FILES
Loading a Bi/Tri Slider system in the correct manner is very important. It balances the paper weight load
throughout the entire system and minimizes the odds of having to move the rolling sections every time the system is
accessed. Careful planning of this phase of the installation will make filing and retrieval a lot easier.
It is recommended the system be loaded first from the left rear section followed by the first rolling section on the
left side of the Bi-Slider. If a Tri-Slider is installed, next load the first rolling section on the left side of the front row
(See figure 7).
Repeat loading from the rear to the front until completed.
RE-LEVELING THE DATUM BI/TRI SLIDER SYSTEM
It rarely occurs; however, after the Bi/Tri Slider system has been loaded, the rolling sections may begin to move
or creep on their own. While this problem is more annoying than hazardous, it may be corrected by re-leveling the rail
assembly. The Datum Bi/Tri Slider system has been designed so that the deck plates can be easily removed for access
to the leveling glides.
To remove the deck plates, move the rolling sections to one side. Then, insert a slotted screw driver into the slot
provided on the decking and with even pressure pull the deck plates up and remove.
Next, re-adjust the leveling glides by turning them one-quarter turn at at time either raising or lowering the rail
assembly to the desired height to stop the unwanted movement. It is very important that all leveling glides maintain con-
tact with the floor. When this adjustment has been completed, re-install the deck plates.
If other problems occur which have not been addressed in these assembly instructions, please call Customer
Service at 888-891-1970 x 8958.
Thank you for purchasing and installing this system.
