PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION

WARNING: Read the section Safety instructions and warnings” before attempting to assemble the Easytrack FS  system.

• Survey the room, where you plan to install the Easytrack FS system.
• Make sure the room meets the requirements specified below.
• Use the measurements below to determine the best place to put the Easytrack FS system :

The transfer should only take place between the Easytrack FS posts.

Step 1. Post to Base Assembly

Note: The assembly can be performed by one person

1. Remove all parts from the boxes. Before assembling make sure that all parts are present and in good condition.
2. Layout the bases on a level and clean floor at the desired distance.
3. Insert the posts in the bases. The design of the base will ensure the post lines up in the correct position.

Make sure posts are correctly inserted in both bases.

Step 2. Installation of the rail

1. Prior to the installation of the rail, unlock the hook handle by pressing on the safety latch and pulling outward (located on the blue-colored component on the side of the post head).

2. Gently pull out the handle until the red stripe of the main rail hook mechanism is visible.
   

3. Insert the rail in place on top of both posts. 3
   
   When placing the rail on the post, extend the inner rail 3 inches out from the main outer rail in order to allow enough space for the safety latch to properly engage the rail.

4. Secure both ends of the rail by engaging the main hooks over the rail pins. 4

5. Lock the rail to the post by closing the hook handle while pushing the main hook over the rail pin. The red stripe on the hook handle should no longer be visible. You should feel a slight tension when closing the hook handle.

Make sure the main hooks are well engaged.

Step 3. Rail width adjustment

1. To adjust the rail width, pull the inner rail away from the main outer rail until the desired width is achieved.
2.  The trolley position should be as shown in the picture. If not, make sure that the inner rail is extended. The trolley will become free of its transportation slot. If it does not, shake the trolley lightly left and right to release it. The trolley should move freely at this point.

This step can also be done after adjusting the height

Step 4. Height adjustment

1. The height adjustment of the posts is accomplished by starting with the blue locking collar clamp located in the centre of each post.
   

2. Pull-on the lower portions of both sides of each locking collar to release the collar mechanisms and allow the inside section of the post to extend upwards. When the collars are in the open position red dots are visible.

3. Position yourself in the center of the rail between the two posts and gently push upwards until the desired height is achieved.
   

4. To ensure the rail is level use the measurement reference marks on the front of each post.
   
   Adjustments: To lower the post, consult the section Disassembling the Easytrack FS System (further in this manual).

5. Re-lock the clamping collars on both posts to secure the assembly. When the collars are in the locked position red dots are no longer visible.

6. Fine-tune the level of each base using the two blue floor levelers located at each end of both bases.
   The central glider of the base must touch the floor.
   

7. Your Easytrack FS™ is now ready to use with your BHM portable lift (not included with this kit.)
   

Step 5. Disassembling the Easytrack FS

ENSURE THERE IS NOBODY IN THE LIFT AND REMOVE THE LIFT FROM THE TROLLEY BEFORE ADJUSTING OR DISASSEMBLING THE EASYTRACK FS™ SYSTEM.

To disassemble the Easy track FS™ reverse the assembly sequence.

1. Remove the portable lift from the rail trolley.

2. Unlock the clamping collars on both posts (See Height adjustment section). The posts are retracted by first releasing the pressure on the internal lock mechanism using a slightly upwards motion on the post, and then applying downward pressure to the section of the post where the measurement reference marks are located.
   

3. Remove rail from posts. To do so, unlock the safety latches in order to release the main hook from the rail pin. (See the  Installation of the rail sections).

4. Collapse the extended rail (See Rail width adjustment section).

Place all pieces into a box or bag to protect them from the dust and from damages

FAILURE TO FOLLOW MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DAMAGE.
