STEP 9 Measure the distance between the rails.
The rails must be the same distance apart from each other
(parallel) from the front to the rear. The following steps
show how to measure and adjust the rails. Measurements are
taken at 3 places starting at the front. The photo to the right
shows measurement being taken with a tape measure.
Measurements are taken

STEP 9 a. Measure and record the distance between
the rails at A - next to front cover screws.
This is your base measurement.
9 b. Measure and record the distance at B
above the middle mounting blocks
(with bolts tight)
9 c. Measure and record the distance at C
above the rear mounting blocks
(with bolts tight)
If the measurements at B and C are not
the same as A then adjustments
are needed. See STEP 10.

STEP 10 Adjust distance between the rails.
Continue adjustments until the distance at points B and C are the same as point A when the bolts are tight.
The .050 spacers can be used to narrow the distance between the rails to get the rails parallel to each other.
Position the spacers between the back of the Retrax rails and the mounting block.
