ASSEMBLY OF BOLTLESS LOW PROFILE SHELVING

Tool Needed: A rubber mallet for seating the shelf supports into the uprights. Two people

recommended for assembly. Approximate assembly time: 15 to 30 minutes per shelving 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.

2. Depending upon whether

Angle Post

(EUR)

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

"T" Post

(ZTP)

A single unit will use EUR angle posts for all four
uprights, as shown below in Figure A. If you plan

on assembling multiple sections, however, you
should build the starter unit with two ZTP
"T" posts on one end
(which will provide
common posts for
adjacent sections),
as shown in Figure B.

EUR

B. Two or more units with Angle Posts (EUR) on

each end and "T" Posts (ZTP) connecting each unit.

A. Single unit with

four Angle Posts (EUR).

ZTP

3. With help from an associate, or using a wall for

support, connect two EUR uprights (Ref. No. 1a)
together with two front-to-back end supports (Ref.
No. 2), one at the top and one
at the bottom. When
inserting supports,
be sure the
rivets are
fully seated
in the key­hole slots,
as shown.
NOTE: The
uprights
must be
positioned
so that the
narrow part
of the slots
is toward the floor,
as shown in the inset.

NOTE: Inset is shown

from opposite side.

IMPORTANT: The
support MUST be
inserted so that the flat
surface is on top as
shown in profile at left!

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

middle slots of the two uprights.
This forms one end of the
shelving unit.
NOTE: There
will be only
three (3)
front-to­back end
supports

NOTE: Every
fourth keyhole
slot is shaped
differently (with a
flattened top) for
easier alignment
of supports (see
below).

end, as
shown.
These are
used for
rigidity
and are
not needed
at every
shelf level.

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 end 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: If
assembling a
ZTP upright
assembly (for an
adder unit), place
the front-to-back
shelf supports on
both sides of the
"T" post, for a
total of six VDRS
front-to-back
supports instead
of three.
