Frame Assembly
Step 1.
Organize all parts on a flat, clean surface. All frame parts are
labeled with a letter and number. See corresponding parts list. Use a
hammer or rubber mallet to tap an End Plug into the tops of each S1R
(right) and S1L (left) Vertical Bar.
Important note:
The top of the S1R
and S1L Bars have bolt holes through 2 sides of the bar. The bottom of
the bars have bolt holes in all 4 sides of the bar.
Step 2.
Take an S2 Vertical Bar and find the nut insert located inside the
end (Figure 1). Using the shorter 3/4” bolt, connect an S3T Bar to the
top of the S2 Vertical Bar by screwing the bolt through the S3T bar and
into the nut insert (Figure 1).
Tip:
Make sure the bolt enters the nut insert straight. If the nut insert is
off center, use a hammer and a bolt to tap the sides of the nut insert
until it is level.
Tip:
You may need to loosen bolts as you go through the rest of the
assembly, so only partially tighten them for now.
Step 3.
Using a 2” bolt, attach an S3B Bar to the bottom of the S2 Vertical
Bar (Figure 1).
Step 4.
Connect an S1L and an S1R Vertical Bar to the ends of the S3B by
inserting bolts through their largest holes. The bolts will be fully inside
the S1L and S1R Bars when tightened flush to the S3B bar. Attach the
S3T between the S1L and S1R (Figure 1). You have just finished the
first Side Frame.
Step 5.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to assemble the second side frame, then firmly tighten all bolts on both Side Frames, making sure
the bars are flush with one another (Figure 2).
Important:
Completely assemble both sides before
proceeding.
Step 6.
Connect the ends of an A3 Bar between the top
S3T Bars (Figure 2). The open track of the A3 Bar
should face toward the ground. Insert the bolt through
the predrilled hole above each Guide Hole, then screw
the bolt into the end of the A3 Bar on both ends
(Figure 2). Connect the remaining A3 Bar to the S2
Vertical Bars at the lower tier.
Step 7.
Connect the A4 Shelf Bars to the S1L and S1R
Vertical Bars at each tier (Figure 2). Each A4 Shelf Bar is
box-shaped with a thin flange. Make sure the flat side
of the flange is flush with the outside of the S1 Bars on
each side and pointing toward the top of the unit. The
box-shaped portion of the Shelf Bars are positioned
inside to hold the Poly Trays (Figure 2).
Step 8.
You may now tighten all bolts on the frame,
holding the bars in place as you tighten. With the frame
upright, make sure all outside edges of the bars are
flush and secure. Adjust the bars as necessary.
Step 9.
Gently lay the entire frame on its side. Place a
Caster Insert into the bottom of all four S1 Vertical Bars.
Firmly push a Caster into each insert until it clicks into
place (Figure 2).
Step 10.
Stand the unit upright. Cover all the bolt holes
with Bolt Caps. Place Poly Trays on the A4 Shelf
Crossbars. The frame assembly is finished.
