Default Why You Need That 4th Rail

I recently got a midarm Bailey quilter, and my DH set it up for me while I was off playing with the DGKs. He did a great job too. Except he forgot to install that 4th rail. Said he didn't know what it was for, and the assembly instructions didn't mention the 4th rail. So today I tried to install it myself, and didn't have the right nuts and bolts to do so. Oh, well, I thought, no big deal. I just went ahead and loaded up the backing, front, and batting to begin practicing, since this will be my first experience with an actual quilting machine. Then, off we went to the home improvement store to get the nuts and bolts and stuff for my vegetable garden. Wouldn't you know, we forgot the nuts and bolts.
This is what I found when we returned:
