ASSEMBLY OF UNASSEMBLED BOOKCASE
Two people are recommended for assembly. Approximate assembly time: 15-20 minutes.
Tools Required: A Phillips head screwdriver insert and 3/8” nut driver (included).
The reference numbers used throughout this sheet refer to the illustration on the back cover.
This is to help you to identify the various parts as they are mentioned.
3.
Fasten each upright to the back using Tinnerman clips (Ref. No. 7).
Place one Tinnerman clip over each of the slotted holes.
4.
Place the bottom shelf (Ref. No. 4) into position by slipping
into slots on uprights. It may be necessary to pry uprights
apart slightly to move bottom shelf into position.
1.
Place the back (Ref. No. 1) on a flat surface.
2.
Place the uprights (Ref. No. 2) on either side of the back. Be sure
that the flat edge of the upright is facing outward as shown.
NOTE: There is no “right” or “left” upright; both uprights
are the same. There is a small unslotted area at the end
of each upright; when properly installed, these will not
be directly across from each other, but on opposite ends
of the unit.
NOTE: Do not place the screws into the Tinnerman clips
yet. The back will be screwed into place in step 7.
NOTE: As mentioned in Step 2, the uprights have an
unslotted area at one end which will be at the top of
the unit on one side and at the bottom of the unit on
the other side. This means that the bottom shelf will
be inserted in the second slot from the bottom on the
upright with slots all the way to the bottom, but in the
first slot from the bottom on the opposite upright (the
one with the slotless area at the bottom).
5.
Secure the bottom shelf to the uprights with two 10-24 x 1/2”
bolts and two nuts (Ref. No. 9) on each end. Then insert one
10-24 x 1/2” bolt and nut into the center of each end of the
bottom shelf and upright. Next, bolt the bottom shelf to the
back of the bookcase with three 10-24 x 1/2” bolts and nuts.
6.
Temporarily insert a shelf (Ref. No. 6) near the top of the unit
to keep uprights stationary after unit is turned on it’s side.
