You only need to undertake the following procedure the first time you fit your race chair to the
trackside. It’s worth taking your time to get this bit right as it will help optimise the performance of the
trackside.
Roller assembly:
1) Place the two units on a flat level surface side by side with the longer legs on the outside.
2) Align the two units and locate the spacer lock in the position shown (The spacer lock is universal
fitting either the front or rear), screw in two of the thumb nuts locking the front of the Trackside
together. (The front of the Trackside has the blank end cap inserted in the outer rail)
3) Repeat this process on the rear of the Trackside.

Clamping Bar assembly:

2) Place the race chair on the Trackside.
3) With the race chair sat centrally on the rollers slide the clamping bar in and out until both rear
wheels nessel evenly between all 4 rollers. Gently rotate the one rear wheel, do both rollers rotate
equally? Are they in constant contact with the rear wheel when it’s being rotated? Rotate the rear
roller do the rear wheel and the front roller rotate when you do this? Now do the same with the front
roller, is it now causing the rear roller to rotate? Continue with minor adjustments in and out of the
clamping bar until you feel you have achieved the optimum contact with both rollers.
4) Repeat operation 3 on the other wheel until you feel you have optimum contact on all 4 rollers.
5) Tighten the two thumb nuts on top of the two spacer locks so that the long clamping bar is held
securely in position.
