On racks that are 30 inches deep or less, skip to “

3.2 Rail Spring”

3.1 Rail Extenders

Racks from 31 to 36 inches deep require installation of the included rail extenders. For these deeper racks, install

cage nuts on the outside rear of the rack.

The tabs on the cage nuts must be horizontal as shown.

Using the included bolts, install the rail extender inside the rear of the rack. Repeat the process for the second ex

tender, which is a mirror image of the first.

If not already present, install a spring on the silver posts in the side of each rail.
