INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN VERTICAL SUPPORTS SHOULD BE
122 CM–182 CM (4'–6') TO SUPPORT THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY INDICATED
ON THE FRONT OF THIS CARTON. FOR LONGER MATERIAL OR GREATER WEIGHT,
MULTIPLE HORIZONTAL RACKS SHOULD BE USED.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MOUNTING LOCATION IS CAPABLE OF
WITHSTANDING THE ADDITIONAL LOAD. NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOUNTING
LOCATION OR YOUR RACK.
INSTALLATION ON DRYWALL OR OTHER PANELED WALL SHEETING
To install the rack, you will require lag screws that are 0.6 cm (1/4") in diameter and
have a minimum length of 7.1 cm (2-3/4"). Attach the rack to wall studs only to ensure
maximum support.
1. Locate the wall studs in your wall. Choose two wall studs that are placed 122 cm–182
cm (4'–6') apart, depending on your needs.
2. Place the vertical supports of the rack against the wall at the locations chosen.
Make sure both vertical supports are placed at the same height so that the rack is level.
Mark the location of the mounting holes.
3. Drill pilot holes into the centre of the wall studs at the marked locations using a drill
bit that is slightly smaller in diameter than the lag screws.
4. Position the spacers behind the mounting holes in the vertical supports and fasten the
rack to the wall with the lag screws, as shown in the diagram.
