Mounting Instructions
The mounting brackets shown on the following pages are designed specifically for Accuride slides.  Slides properly installed with correct mounting brackets will proved lasting, maintenance-free service.

Illustrated is the correct orientation of the mounting screws for attaching mounting brackets to Accuride slides.  To ensure proper operation of the slide, make certain that all bracket mounting screw heads are inserted so that the screw heads are inside the slides.  The front bracket should first be positioned then securely fastened in place. The rear bracket screws should be left sufficiently loose to allow adjustment while fitting to the vertical mounting rails.

During installation in the enclosure, matching the alignment of the left hand and right hand slides is accomplished by installing one slide, then aligning it to the vertical mounting rails and securing the mounting screws. Then install the remaining slide, leaving the mounting screws sufficiently loose to permit horizontal adjustment. Moving the chassis in and out a few times prior to tightening the loose mounting screws will ensure proper alignment of the slides to each other and to the cabinet. Any sign of binding indicates lateral stress or misalignment.
