Note: One support block, cut from support block material (H), is recommended for rails measuring 72” in length or less; two support
blocks for longer lengths. If one support block is required, install support block connector (I) at center point of bottom rail (B). If two
support blocks are required, install support block connectors (I) equal distance from each
end of the bottom rail (B).
