Before you begin
Determine the clearance between the insides of the left and right rails of your rack system and install the shelf
brackets accordingly. Keep these tools handy:
• Number 1 and Number 2 Phillips screwdrivers
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Tape measure and level
Procedure
Step 1
Position the support flange of the left shelf bracket on the front of the left rail. Align and secure the bracket
to the rack by using three screws. Use either 10-32 or 12-24 pan head screws from the shelf kit.
Step 2
Position the support flange of the right shelf bracket on the front of the right rail — make sure that it is level
with the left shelf bracket. Align and secure the bracket to the rack by using three screws.
Use the same type of screws for the left and right shelf bracket.
