INTRODUCTIONBasic installation procedures remain constant regardless of the type of guidance/drive built into the

carriage. Manual carriages require that the panels simply be rested on the panel brackets, aligned from side toside, shimmed for plumb orientation, if necessary, and securely fastened to the shelving uprights. Mechanicalassist panels require the additional steps of connecting and adjusting the drive chain and installing the frontcrank mechanism. The information in this booklet pertains to standard installations, exceptions are possible.

The information in this manual targets the installation and adjustment of mechanical assist face panels.Manual carriage panels may require the installation of a decorative handle grip on the front. Electric

panels will require the installation of control switch(es).

Note: This section addresses only the differences between installing the designer series panels vs. thetypical face/back panel. All other information in this manual remains relevant for all panel types.Designer panels come in two types. Type 1 orients over threaded studs installed into the face or backpanel. Type 2 has threaded pems set into the designer overlay back side. In the following sequencetype 1 is shown for back panel overlay installation and type 2 is shown for face panel overlayinstallation. Either type may be used for back or face panel overlay installation.

The following information deals with issues relevant to installation of Designer Series panel overlays: Attaching the decorator overlay to the face and back panel . Attaching the mechanical assist drive to the face panel. Attaching the manual handle to the face panel.
