Starting Gate Assembly and Installation

1

Unpack Parts

2

Apply self adhesive foam pad as pictured to the underside leg of the swinging gate. Clean that surface with a Windex(TM) type product prior to application. This acts as a cushion when the gate springs open.

3

Attach the starting pegs. Feed the #10x2" screws from the bottom of the swinging gate and attach the accompanying nuts.

4

With the gate 'folded', attach the two springs to the small holes at either end.

Note: it is important that the two ends of the spring are threaded through the holes as shown in the diagram at right. This is a little tricky. After hooking one end, stretch and bend the spring over your finger to help you thread the other end.

5

This is how the gate should look by this point.

6

Next, place a plastic washer on the 1/4-20 x 3/4" screw and insert the screw into the tab on the start gate.

7

Attach the start gate lever followed by another plastic washer, a metal washer, and an elastic stop nut.

8

Slip the black vinyl covers onto each end of the lever and slip the black vinyl sleeves over the starting pegs.

Attach gate to the track from the bottom. Bolt through the two outside lanes using the provided nuts on the bottom.

Note

For the Micro Wizard Laser Start

Instead of the 1/4-20 nuts used to attach the hinge of the 42" leg in the outside lanes, substitute a plywood 'L' with the captive T-nut. Once this is in place (below the track surface), wood screw the laser brackets from Micro Wizard to these 'L's.
