If the slide is not installed horizontally, how should it be adjusted?

If the slide is not installed horizontally, you can adjust it by the following steps:

First, check and measure

Use a level: First, use a level to check whether the mounting surface of the slide is level. Place the level on the slide and see if the bubble is centered. If the bubble is to one side, the guide rail is not installed horizontally.

Measurement deviation: Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the height difference between the two ends or multiple points of the slide rail to determine the specific value and direction of the deviation.

Second, adjust the method

Adjust the fixing screws: If the guide rail is fixed to the mounting surface by screws, you can loosen the fixing screws, and then fine tune the position of the guide rail to make it level. During the adjustment process, the level can be used for real-time monitoring to ensure accurate adjustment. After the adjustment is complete, tighten the fixing screws again.

Use spacers: If there is a gap between the slide and the mounting surface, or if the height of the slide needs to be fine-tuned to achieve level, you can use spacers to adjust. According to the measured deviation value, select the appropriate gasket thickness and place it between the slide rail and the mounting surface. Then re-fix the slide and check if it is level.

Reinstall: If the above method does not adjust the slide to the horizontal state, you may need to consider reinstalling the slide. Before reinstalling, ensure that the installation surface is smooth and free of debris, and follow the correct installation procedures and precautions.

Third, precautions

Avoid excessive adjustment: When adjusting the slide, avoid excessive adjustment resulting in deformation or damage to the slide. The adjustment should be carried out gradually, and checks and tests should be carried out after each adjustment.

Keep clean: In the adjustment process, to keep the guide rail and installation surface clean, to avoid dust, oil and other debris affect the adjustment effect and sliding performance of the guide rail.

Pay attention to safety: When adjusting the slide, pay attention to safe operation to avoid accidental injury. Especially when using tools such as electric drills, wear personal protective equipment such as protective glasses and gloves.

Through the above steps and methods, the slide rail can be effectively adjusted to the horizontal state, to ensure its normal work and extend the service life. If there are still problems after adjustment or are not sure how to operate, it is recommended to consult a professional or seek professional maintenance services.
