Installation Notes:
Wood brackets are made to fit existing wood shelves measuring 5/8" to 3/4" thick x 12" deep.
Each plastic shelf is designed to hold up to 10 pounds of evenly distributed weight. The hang rod is designed to hold up to 20 lbs.
WARNING
n
You must never exceed the rated load capacity of your installed shelving system. Please consult the manufacturer
of your shelving system for the rated load capacity of your components.
2. Determine Necessary Shelf Attachment
Select the required shelf attachment brackets for your existing shelving. If your existing shelf is wood, move to step
2a.
If your existing shelf
is wire, move to step
2b.
1. Determine the System Location Within Your Closet
The maximum width of this system is 67" and the minimum width is 50.5" (when used with the telescoping hang rod).
2a. For Existing Wood Shelving:
Start assembling the first tower by sliding two wood brackets
(
E
) on your existing wood shelf (slot side down). They should
be approximately 12"
apart
(center
to
center).
2b. For Existing Wire Shelving:
Thread all 8 wire brackets (
F
) with
straps (
J
). Do not affix the snaps.
3 wires covered
Insert one strap (
J
) through each slot in the brackets,
but do not affix the snaps. Go to step 3.
Locate the positions of your 2 towers
(Keep in mind the maximum and
minimum spans stated in step 1).
For each tower location, place 4
brackets with straps on top of your
existing wire shelf, as shown below.
Brackets for each tower should be
spaced 12" apart (center to center).
Brackets should cover 3 wires, and the fabric strap should straddle 1 wire.
Do not affix the snaps.
3. Begin Building the Metal Frame for Each Tower
Hang the left (
A
) and right (
B
) frames from the corresponding straps and secure the snaps.
Be sure to position the frames with the hang rod slots facing front and hooks facing outward.
4. Connect the Left and Right Frames
Using wire connectors (
D
), hook left and right frames together in locations shown
at right. These connectors will serve as shelf supports in the next step.
5. Secure Plastic Shelves in Place
Begin by facing the Rubbermaid logo on the plastic shelf (
I
), towards the front. Next, insert the shelf into the tower and snap the shelf into
the back vertical wires (as shown). Then snap the shelf into place along the sides, fully engaging the shelves with the metal frame.
