WARNING - The system may be supplied by a three phase power system with four individual circuits rated at 20 amps/120 volts max-
imum, or as permitted by local code.
WARNING - No more than 12 duplex receptacles shall be supplied by one circuit. (12 segments Two Duplex, 6 segments Four Duplex)

C9 RAIL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Mount End Cap and End Leg to Rail
Flip the rst rail of the run upside down onto
a soft surface. Attach an end cap to one end
of the rail segment using 4 (0000822) push
rivets. Next attach the end leg to the bottom
of the rail segment using 4 (0001140)
screws. You will repeat this step for the end-
of-run rail segment as well.
It is recommended to perform as much of the rail assembly upside-down, keeping in mind how many installers are available to ip
the run right-side up once assembled.
General Rail Assembly Notes
If 1 - 2 installers: ip the rst rail segment upside down and
complete steps 1 & 2. Then ip the rail right side up and continue
with instructions, adding one segment at a time for step 3.
If 3+ installers: complete steps 1-4 with the rail ipped upside
down. Once complete, ip right side up. The length of run will
determine how many installers are needed to perform the ip.

Mount Bender Cap to Rail
If attaching another rail segment, attach a bender cap
using 4 (0000822) push rivets on the other end of
the rail. Repeat this step for all middle rail segments,
adding two bender caps to each mid-segment rail,
and one bender cap to each end-segment rail.
Connecting Rail Segments
After installing the bender caps, slide the rails onto
the bender leg assembly. The openings in the
bender caps at the end of each rail segment
should t snugly around the bender leg
assembly brackets. The example below
shows two end rail segments connected.

C9 RAIL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Screw Bender Leg Onto Rails
Secure the bender leg to the rails using 5 (0001140)
screws on each side, as shown below. Two screws are
driven from below, two from the sides, and one from
the inside of the rail segment for a total of 10
screws. The bottom plate of the leg sits internal
to the bottom plate of the rail.
Install Jumpers & Power Harness
Align power harness outlets with cutouts in the rail segment. Next feed the infeed
through the bottom rung of the appropriate rail segment and connect it to the power
harness. Then feed the jumper through the bender leg and connect it to each power
harness. Jumpers only connect in one orientation: arrows on jumper and harness
will align to indicate proper connection. The bender leg must be straight
at the time of routing the jumper through. Once in place, use 2
(0001247) screws to secure the harness in place through
the bottom of the rail.

Bending the Rail
Once the run is assembled, and power/data is
installed, bend the rails to the desired angles.
The bender legs can bend 90 degrees in either
direction.
Secure Ground Wire
Screw the ground wire to the tab on the frame
and bend the tab back and inward and out of the
way. Only one ground wire is needed per jumper.

C9 RAIL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling the Rail
To level the run of rail segments, loosen the two
set screws on each leg, as shown below. Once
the screws are loosened, the foot will freely spin
and telescope in and out, raising and lowering
that section of rail. When the desired height
is reached, be sure to re-tighten the screws.
PLEASE NOTE - the leg must always be re-
tightened perpendicular to the rail for end-legs,
and perpendicular to the bender for mid-legs.
Remove Drain Tray to Install Accessories
If accessories such as screens, planters, or shelves are
being installed, unscrew the drain tray to gain access to the
mounting slot in the rail and set aside the hardware. After
accessories are installed, mount drain tray back in place
with the set aside hardware.

(121538) for each side of panel, (4) screws
total. Hold down the opposite side panel for
direct drill access.

Place Side Panels
Align the hooks on the four corners of the modesty
panel with the hooks on the four corners of the rail
segment, lining up the bottom two hooks rst, then
lifting and hooking the top two hooks, and dropping
the panel in place.
