GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
In preparing for multiple section installations, it is recom-
mended that a floor plan with elevations be available at the
job site. It is further recommended that the floor be marked
to indicate where the rows will be and where the aisles will
be so that the distributed material can be stacked for
minimal interference. This will also show where obstruc-
tions will occur. The sections may then be erected along
the lines so that once the row is in place, the bracing bolts
can be tightened and each section will remain square.
Rough or uneven floors should be compensated with
shims. It is required that sections not be out of plum more
than
1" in ten feet or more of height
.

OPEN TYPE SHELVING
STEP ISWAY BRACE ASSEMBLY
After the material has been distributed to the proper location, assemble all
sway braces by loosely bolting two matched pieces together at the center.
Assemble side sway braces with 1/4-20 x 3/4" hex head cap screws and hex
nuts.
Assemble rear sway braces with 1/4-20 x 5/8" hex head cap screws and hex
nuts.
STEP 2ROW ENDS UPRIGHT ASSEMBLY
Determine from the floor plan how may row end upright assemblies will be
required. For each one, attach a pair of side sway braces to two angle posts.
The brace bolts on the inside of the long flange. Refer to pages 10 and 11 for
the approximate, proper* location of the braces. Repeat this procedure until all
row ends are assembled.
*Pre-determine critical shelf location to avoid interference with the sway brace
bolts.
NOTE: ALL BACK AND SIDE SWAY BRACES ARE ATTACHED TO UPRIGHTS AT 30" VERTICAL SPACING.
Attach side sway braces to posts with 1/4-20 x 3/4" hex head cap screws and
hex nuts.

STEP 3INTERMEDIATE UPRIGHT
ASSEMBLY
Determine from the floor plan how many intermediate upright assemblies will
be required. Each intermediate consists of four angle posts and one pair of side
sway braces. Bolt two posts together (through the fourth hole from each end, in
the long flange) to form a T post. Repeat with the other two posts. The two T
posts and the side brace are now bolted together at the same level and spacing
as the row end upright assemblies (refer to Step 2). Repeat this procedure until
all intermediates are assembled.
Attach side sway braces to posts with 1/4-20 x 3/4" hex head cap screws and

STEP 5BASE STRIP ATTACHMENT
If a base strip is used, bolt it into place behind the front of the upright assemblies, as shown. The four bottom shelf clips are hung and the bottom shelf is
set in place. The top shelf should now be installed using clips in the back and
bolts through the front face of the upright and shelf. If a base strip is not used,
install bottom shelf in same manner as top shelf.

STEP 7SECTION LEVELING
When required, level sections with shims to cause each upright assembly to be
plum within 1/10 inch per foot of height, up to and including 10' high units. For
units higher than 10', maximum out-of-plumbness should not exceed 1".
FAILURE TO LEVEL SECTION COULD RESULT IN
SHELVING COLLAPSE, PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR COMMODITY LOSS.

STEP 1ROW END - CLOSED UPRIGHT
ASSEMBLIES
After the material has been distributed to the proper location, determine from
the floor plan how many row end - closed upright assemblies and intermediate
- closed upright assemblies will be required. The row ends exist as received,
two angle posts welded to a side panel. Set aside the required amount.
STEP 2INTERMEDIATE - CLOSE UPRIGHT
ASSEMBLY
Assemble the intermediate - closed upright assemblies by bolting two* angle
posts to the closed upright assemblies to form a T (bolt through the fourth hole
from each end). Repeat this procedure until all intermediates are assembled.
*One angle post is required when a beaded post - closed side is being used.

Light Loading
Both single and double rows may use sway braces as in
Figures 1 and 2. The end and back of the first and last
section of each row always contains a sway brace. Every
other intermediate and every other back should contain a
sway brace. The height location of the sway brace is
determined as in Figure 3, where the center line of the
cross is "height divider by 3" up from the bottom.
Standard Loading
For rigidity in standard duty applications, a pair of sway
braces should be put in every opening at the heights
illustrated in Figure 4. Each open end should be braced as
illustrated in Figure 4A.
Multi-level Application
For rigidity in mezzanine applications, two sway braces
should be put in every other opening at the heights
illustrated in Figure 5. The intervening openings should be
braced with one pair of sway braces as shown. The term
"d" equals the distance for mounting the sway braces to the
post from the floor. Bolt the front of the center shelf and the
front of the top shelf and the base strip in place. The open
ends should be braced as illustrated in Figure 5A.
FOR UNITS OVER 99" HIGH
Light Loading
For rigidity, Borroughs recommends that one pair of sway
braces be installed in each open end and open back.
Sway brace height is as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6A and

Pre-assembly of the two uprights is identical.
Standard Loading and Multi-level
For rigidity, Borroughs recommends that sway braces be
used in open backs as illustrated in Figure 7. Sway brace
height is as shown in Figure 7. Bolt the front of the center
shelf and the front of the top shelf and the base strip in
place. Sway bracing for the ends of sections should be
installed as shown in Figure 7A for heavy-duty and Figure
7B for multi-level applications.

All areas of the United States have been zoned seismically. Each zone indicates the anticipated intensity or severity of a seismic occurrence within
that region. Zones range from 0 (least likely) to 4 (most likely) to experience damage.
