6 Ladder Track Installation Ladder Track Installation. Mount Track Brackets () with Pan Head Screws (0) to a secure fixture (bookcase, cabinet, wall, etc.) Space brackets every 3-36 inches along track. Reference the track height diagram on page. 0. Measure the width of your fixture to determine the amount of 6' tracks () needed. Use Track Unions (9)to connect tracks together. Space Track Unions (9) as to not interfere with Track Brackets (). Track should extend 8" beyond outer Track Brackets () for Track End Caps (8) to fit properly. Fig.. Note: For applications wider than 6', you will need additional sections of 6' track. In the event you need to shorten any length of track, divide all tracks evenly for best results, e.g., for a 6' run, order three 6' tracks and cut all to 5'4". 8 Fig. 8" 3. Assemble Track () to Track Brackets () and install Track End Caps (9). Note: The brackets are tight fitting, a rubber mallet and block of wood may be required to attach.

Center components between Aluminum Decorative Spindle (4). Fig. 3. Fig Dry fit Wheel Assemblies (0) to ladder. Attach ladder to track and place in the climbing position (steps parallel to the floor). Adjust Wheel Assemblies (0) vertical to the floor. Fig. 4. Drill and attach Connector Bolts (5) and Acorn Nuts (6) for top of Wheel Assembly (0). Bottom attaches with a 9/64" pilot hole and a Pan Head Screw (4). Note: For added strength and design, install Step Brackets (48, sold separately). Install per step Cast Metal Step Ladder Assembly. Begin Ladder Assembly. Attach Aluminum Deocrative Spindle (5) and Cast Steps (6) to just one rail using Cap Nuts (8) and Connector Bolts (). Fit the second rail on to the assembled side and attach the rung and cast steps using Cap Nuts and Connector Bolts (). Fig. 5. Fig. 4.
