"IMPORTANT": under no circumstances may
the travsmart slider be used with the EN 362 wire
connector (ind. 1) moored into the rocker (ind. 12). This
configuration of use may cause premature wear of the
slider to the right of the opening for passing the anchors

EN 362 wire connector must be placed on the anchoring
opening (ind. 9) on the right side of the slider and vice
versa if the operator is right-handed. Failure to comply
with this rule will compromise optimal slider transition
over intermediary and bend anchors.
a. Push in the button (item 14), then tilt the rocker lever
(item 11) opposite the connector (item 1).
b. Insert the connector (item 1) in the rocker opening
(item 12), then release the tilt lever (item 11) and also
the button (item 14).
c. Press in the button again (item 14) while holding the
slider and pull on the connector in order to locate it in
the opposite anchor opening (item 9).
d. Release the button (item 14) and check that
the connector is firmly installed in the anchor
opening(item 9) and that the tilt lever (item 11) is
correctly repositioned and locked in rotation.
