Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise 
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be  
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after  
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts 
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.

1.  Remove the Backbone 

enclosure from pallet, taking 

care not to damage the bottom 

edges. Then remove support 

feet, access door, adjustable 

glides and hardware kit 

#47.0815 from inside the 

enclosure.

2.  Place packaging foam or 

cardboard onto the floor for 

protection. As illustrated, 

carefully place the enclosure 

unit onto the protective 

material and stand it up on its 

back end, the wider side of the 

enclosure unit (Figure 1). 

3.  Install the longer 38” foot 

to the lower, wider end of 

the enclosure bottom. First
