A. Start with the bearing preload screw head (M3) not touching the slide face.
B. Fit one end of the slide with only those treads contacting the rail, and adjust the appropriate preload screw.
C. Repeat the above step until you achieve a low contact force, with a slight drag on the slide as it is pulled
upwards off the rail.
Note: Set the preload on each ExoSlide specific to each rail, just prior to installation.
