To begin the assembly of the Guitar Mobile Storage Rack:
1. Remove the four Lower Cross Panels (#2), four Stiffeners (#3), two Yoke Stiffeners (#5), two Yoke
Mount Panels (#8) and the hardware pack from the package.
2. On a level surface with free access along one side, stand the Lower Cross Panel (#2) upright as
shown with the smaller through holes along the lower edge. (see figure A)
3. Lay the Stiffener (#3) flat on the level surface with the 3mm pilot holes facing the Lower Cross Panel
(#2). (see figure A)
4. The pilot holes on the stiffener and the through holes on the lower edge of the Lower Cross Panel
should line up. Bring them into contact and align the sides of the Lower Cross Panel and the
Stiffener so that they are flush. Insert the Hex Socket Lag Screw (#16) into each through hole in the
support member and carefully drive the Hex Socket Lag Screw into the stiffener until it secures the
two pieces together. (see figure A)
Note: Hold the two pieces together firmly until at least three screws are installed, preferably one near
each end and one in the center. Some screws may require more effort to drive than others,
depending on the density of the wood. Use caution not to strip out of the Hex Socket Lag
Screw head while driving the screw as this may cause injury or damage. The screws must be
driven in straight and on the centerline of the stiffener to properly align the components and to
prevent damage to the stiffener. Screws should be driven into the cross-member until flush.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until all four Lower Cross Panel/Stiffener assemblies are complete.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to the assemble the two Yoke Mount Panel (#8) and Yoke Stiffener (#5).
Note: The holes on the Yoke Stiffener (#5) are off set. Two people are recommended to complete
this step. One person is needed to hold the pieces tightly together while the other person
secures them using the Hex Socket Lag Screws (#16). (see figure B)
