5. Slide the rail assemblies out from under the hanger bars and withdraw the rail from the oven tunnel.
Exercise extreme care when handling the rails. DO NOT to let them bend or they may be permanently
deformed.
6. Using a 3/16 hex key loosen but DO NOT REMOVE the two ¼-20 socket head cap screws in each rail
clamp and slide the clamps off the rail extrusions.

INSTALL RAILS
1. Visually inspect the rails for straightness and wear or damage to the chain guide surfaces.
2. Slide the appropriate number of rail clamps on each rail extrusion. Check that each clamp is properly
seated on the rail. Do not tighten the rail clamps, their position will be adjusted later in the installation.
3. Place the rail and clamp assemblies in the tunnel. Slide the rails under the hanger bars and place the
ends of the rails into the conveyor end plates. Position the rails all the way toward the onload end of the
machine and install the shoulder bolts through the capture brackets to retain the rails in the end plates.
4. Check that all hanger bars are in line above the rail clamps. The pinch bolts in the fixed rail hangers
should be left loose.

5. Lift the rails up into the hanger bars and secure with barrel nuts and thrust washers. Do not force the nuts
into the hanger slots, they should turn all the way down by hand. Excessive force will gall the stainless
steel nuts and bar slots preventing free movement of the rail for thermal growth. If the barrel nuts bind,
stop and check alignment of the hanger with the rail. Tighten the barrel nuts until they bottom out against
the top of the rail clamps. Make sure that the jam screw in the top of the barrel nut is backed off enough
so that it does not stop the barrel nut before it is fully seated. Once the barrel nuts are tightened tighten
the jam screws.
6. Visually check that all hangers are resting level with the rail, then slide each rail hanger clamp toward the
onload end of the machine until the barrel nuts are approximately 1/16 (1.5mm) from the end of the
hanger bar slots. Use a 3/16 hex key to tighten the rail clamp screws to lock the clamps to the rails.
