ASSEMBLY OF BOLTLESS MEDIUM PROFILE SHELVING

Tools Needed: A rubber mallet for seating the shelf supports into the uprights.

Two people are 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 uses EUR posts for all four uprights,
as shown below in Figure A. If you plan on assem-

bling 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.

A. Single unit with four

EUR

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

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

Angle Posts (EUR).

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

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

NOTE: Inset is shown

from opposite side.

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

4. Place a second front-to-back

shelf support in the
bottom keyholes of
the two uprights.
This forms
one end
of your
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 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, at all
levels.
