Step 1: Unpack the Slide Rail Kit

a. Look for markings on the shipping carton that indicate the top. If necessary,

position the carton so that it is top-side up.

b. Using scissors, a utility knife, or other appropriate tool, carefully cut the packing

tape along the length and ends of the carton. Fold open the carton flaps.

c. Remove the following from the carton:

• Plastic bag containing instructions and warranty information

• Slide rail shelf (#70-60583-00)

• Slide rail hardware kit

Step 2: Prepare Parts and Tools

a. Make sure you have the following parts:

• One shelf assembly with slides attached (#70-60583-00)

• Two rack-mounting brackets (#74-60674-00)

• Four rear-mounting slide brackets (two short, two long)

• 12 pan-head PHILLIPS® screws (10-32 x .38)

• Four pan-head PHILLIPS screws (10-32 x .25)

• Four locking nuts (10-32)

• Six threaded flat plates (10-32)

Note: Clips, nuts, and attachment screws are not provided. Due to possible

differences in cabinet design, you must use cabinet-specic hardware
components.

b. Make sure you have the following tools:

• #2 PHILLIPS screwdriver

Step 3: Install the Slide Rail

Caution: If the SuperLoader shelf assembly is extended, make sure that you

always use a cabinet anti-tip device if one is provided with the cabinet.

a. Identify the correct mounting holes on the vertical rail, making sure that the holes

are all on the same level.

b. Separate the outer pieces of the slides from the shelf

assembly. The slides are made up of three telescoping pieces.
If you pull on the outer slide, the pieces extend, making the
slide longer.

c. From the front, mount the outer pieces of the slides into the

cabinet (per previously located holes) using the screws and
threaded plates. To do this:

(1) Select the long or short rear-mounting slide brackets,

depending on the rail-to-rail spacing in the side of the
cabinet.

(2) Secure the rear-mounting brackets to the slide using the

screws and nuts or the treaded flat plate.

Note: Do not fully tighten the mounting screws. This

allows for adjustment while inserting the shelf assembly
into the mounted slides.

d. Attach the shelf assembly to the slide rails. To do this, extend

the slide rails on both sides and then attach the shelf to the
rails.

e. After inserting the shelf onto the rails, slide the shelf slowly

in and out of the cabinet a few times (to make sure it moves
freely) and then tighten all slide screws.

f. Push the shelf all the way into the cabinet in preparation for

the next step.

Warning: To avoid injury or equipment damage, it is

recommended that two persons lift the SuperLoader
and place it on the slide rail shelf.

g. With the help of a second person, place the SuperLoader on

the shelf. Push the SuperLoader to the back of the shelf.

h. At the back of the cabinet, attach the SuperLoader to the

shelf using the two brackets (#74-60674-00), four short pan
head screws (#10-32 x 0.25), and four long pan head screws
(#10-32 x 0.38) as follows:

Note: Make sure that you use the 0.25-inch screws in the

vertical holes, not the 0.38-inch screws. Use the 0.38-inch
screws in the horizontal holes.

(1) Line up the vertical screw holes on a bracket with the

vertical screw holes on one of the rear corners of the
SuperLoader. Using two short pan head screws, secure
the bracket to the SuperLoader.

(2) Repeat the previous step to attach a bracket to the other

side of the SuperLoader.

(3) Using the long pan head screws, attach both brackets to

the shelf using the horizontal screw holes.

i. At the front of the cabinet, install 4 clip nuts (provided with

the cabinet) so that they are level with the screw holes (two
per side) in the SuperLoader mounting flanges.

j. Use four cabinet attachment screws (provided with the

cabinet) to lock the SuperLoader in place in the cabinet.
