STANDARD RAILS
Norsap basic deck rail is a surface-mounted deck rail with low height and elegant design that gives credit to the existing deck. Produced in high- quality aluminium and stainless steel. The BASIC RAIL is a manual operated rail with a release handle, to intergrate or mount on your Norsap chair. Depending on the chair model, the release handle can be integrated in the armrest, swivel or a bolt on release handle on the chair. The release handle has two positions, locked or free, to position the chair and wagon in the most comfortable working position.
SAFETY
Be sure to keep hands and fingers out of moving parts and areas when operating the product.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
We do not stand liable if alterations are made by cutting or disassembling the deck rails beyond that described here; Any such work will be done at your own risk. Do not apply grease in the wheel tracks. Grease will attract dust and other contaminants. To ensure the deck rail operates at optimal function, the track needs to be cleaned and free from dirt and foreign objects. This is best avoided by vacuuming the rails on a regular basis preferably with a flat nozzle in the tracks of the wagon. Occasional cleaning should be done with a reputable brand following the manufacturer’s instructions.
FLANGE MODIFICATION NECESSARY FOR THE 800 CHAIR
The Norsap 800 chairs columns is too small to have the release wire for the deck rail concealed within the column. To be able to mount the Norsap 800 chair on a Basic Deck Rail, the flange needs to be modified.70mm from the center of the flange towards the side where the wagons release cable goes, drill a Ø8mm hole for the release wire insertion.
INSTALLATION BASIC RAILS
The deck rail assembly must be mounted on a flat and even surface to install the Deck Rail securely. If it is not, the two rails may not be perfectly parallel with each other and the chair may not slide smoothly or it may become jammed and may not slide at all. The assembly area and sliding tracks must be free from scraps of metal or other items during installation. The mounting holes must be parallel with a distance of 367 +/-0.5 mm, this is standard for all lengths.
- Mount the rail with the locking tracks first at desired place. This is your LEFT rail facing forward.
- When the rail is mounted, place the plain rail parallel besides it, and slide the wagon on both rails.
- Place the wagon to the one end of the mounted rail, and the mounting template on the other end, and make sure the loose rail is parallel with the end of the mounted rail.
- Make sure the distance is 367mm +/- 0,5mm between the mounting holes – and that the wagon is not too tight nor too loose so that it travels firmly. Mount one screw at the current end of the rail.
- Move the wagon to the other side, check for firm function and mount the second screw. Test the rails function before mounting the rest of the screws. This procedure ensures that the deck rail will function optimally and without any loose play.
