The system will be delivered with 3 keys and are necessary
for mounting the carriage onto the rail. In case these keys are
removed they need to be refitted into the openings and turned
clockwise 90°.

After the carriage is on the rail, remove the keys by turning
them counterclockwise 90° and pull out. The clearance will
then be adjusted automatically.

You can remove the carriage at any time. In order to do so,
simply plug the keys back into the carriage (see step 1).

There is a danger that excessive reduction of the clearances can seize the
sliding pads and that the clearance cannot be reset simply by loosening the
adjustment screws. The sliding pads are then released by pressing the reset
button on the opposite side. Press hard against the readjusting spring. You
must have already loosened the re spec tive adjustment screws. Use the correct
size pin for this purpose:
• 2.5 mm for TW-01-20 and TW-01-15
• 3.0 mm for TW-01-25 and TW-01-30
