ASSEMBLY OF HEAVY-DUTY BOLTLESS RACK

Tools Needed: A rubber mallet for seating the shelf supports. Two people are recommended for assembly.

Approximate assembly time: 15 to 30 minutes per section.

1. The reference numbers used throughout this sheet

refer to the illustration on the back cover. This is to
help you to identify the various
parts as they are mentioned.

Post (SUR)

2. Depending upon whether you

are assmebling a single unit or
an adder unit, you may have
one or both of the styles of
upright shown at right:

A single unit uses SUR posts for all four uprights,
as shown below in Figure A. If you plan on

assembling mulpitle sections, however, you should
build your starter unit
with two ZTP posts
on one end, which
will provide common
posts for adjacent
sections, as shown
in Figure B.

4. Place a third front-to-back end support in the

middle keyholes of the two uprights
(or at whatever
level you want
your third shelf
to be). This
forms one
end of the
shelving unit.

5. Repeat steps
3 and 4 to
construct a
second set
of unit ends.
NOTE: If you
are planning to
install an adder unit,
this second set should consist of ZTP uprights
(Ref. No. 1b) to act as an intermediate assembly.
Carefully re-read through step 2 to better
understand this.

NOTE: Every
fourth keyhole
slot is shaped
differently (with
a flattened top)
for easier
alignment of
supports, as
shown above.

support, connect two SUR uprights (Ref. No. 1a)
together with two front-to-back supports (Ref. No.

6. With the help of an

associate, connect
the two unit ends
with left-to-right
channel beams
(Ref. No. 3). If the
top flange on the
front-to-back end
support interferes
with the top flange
on the channel
beam, your
channel beam is
upside-down.
The flange with
the angled ends
must be on top,
as shown at right.
Be sure that the
channel beams
are fully seated,
as was illustrated
in step 3.
