Track & Trolley Installation
4
The two pieces on top are called the track bridge extensions.
5
Match up the track bridges to the chamber and the track frame using the two alignment tabs.
6
Adjust the track feet so that both the track and bridge are level leading up to the kiln chamber.
*You will need either an adjustable wrench or an 1-1/8inch / 29mm wrench. All feet should be
on the ground *The track can be used with, or without the track bridge extensions.

Using a string or straight edge, aligned the track angle peak from the chamber to the opposite
far end of the track. It is imperative that the tracks on the track frame and extensions are in
alignment with the track in the chamber. Failure to do so will result in the trolley coming offthe
tracks.
