4. At the top of each bracket use the bolt washer and nut which hold the left hand bearing channel in position At the bottom of each bracket fit the Philips Head Screw 39 and flange nut 1 but do not tighten yet Note if you have a MK3 Workcentre or an early Series 2000 Workcentre pre serial no 305000 you will have to drill the lower holes through the end panel flanges If drilling make sure you position the holes as shown in the inset in Fig 5 to give you the full range of height adjustment in the bracket Centre punch the hole positions and drill or 6 5mm holes Fit the inner track to the Workcentre by locating the coach bolt heads through the keyholes in the end panel brackets as shown in Fig 6 Tighten the round knobs and then temporarily tighten the four nyloc nuts 9 holding the inner track to the brackets ALIGNING THE TRACKS STEP 12 On Series 2000 Workcentres kick the legs of the Workcentre diagonally outwards to ensure that it is fully stable on the folding stand Position the outer track parallel to the inner track approximately 700mm away from it Place the table onto the tracks with the inner smaller bearings on the inner track Always fit the table in this orientation Slide the table to each end of its travel and adjust the position of the outer track The lengthened outer bearings make this a non critical adjustment STEP 13 Adjusting Inner Track Height Next you have to fine tune the height
