PK-1971199
Congratulations on your purchase
of Z-Line Standard Boltless Rack
from AFS! Z-Line's
interlocking keyhole design not
only makes installation fast and
easy but eliminates the need for
clips, gussets, sway braces or
other hardware commonly used in
conventional shelving. This allows
completely free access to your
stored materials from all sides of
the unit.
Z-Line Boltless Rack is available
in both standard- and heavy-duty
strengths, in a variety of heights,
widths and depths to fit virtually
any storage application. Adding an
extra shelf is quick and easy. And
starter and adder units allow for
joining shelving units together .
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Some parts may have sharp edges.
CARE must be taken when handling
the pieces to avoid injury. For safety,
wear a pair of work gloves when
assembling or performing any
maintenance on shelving.

ASSEMBLY OF STANDARD BOLTLESS RACK
4. Place a third front-to-back end support in the
middle slots of the two uprights
(or at whatever level you
want your third shelf
to be). This
forms one
end of the
shelving unit.
5. Repeat steps
3 and 4 to
construct a
second set
of unit ends.
NOTE: If you
are planning
to install an
adder unit,
this second
set should
consist of ZTP uprights
(Ref. No. 1b) so that adjacent sections can be
tied together. Carefully review step 2 and step
10 to better understand this.
2. Depending upon
whether you ordered a
single unit or an adder
unit, you may have one
or both of the styles of
upright shown at right:
Angle Post
(EUR)
"T" Post
(ZTP)
B. Two or more units with Angle Posts (EUR) on
each end and "T" Posts (ZTP) as intermediate uprights.
1. 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.
A. Single unit with
four Angle Posts (EUR).
A single unit will use EUR posts for all four
uprights, as shown below in Figure A. If you plan
on installing an adder unit, however, you should
build your starter unit
with two ZTP posts
on one end (which
will join with the
adder), as shown
in Figure B.
Narrow area
of keyhole
slot is at
bottom
3. With help from an associate, or using a wall for
support, connect two EUR uprights (Ref. No. 1a)
together with two front-to-
back supports (Ref.
No. 2), one at
the top and
one at the
bottom. Be
sure the
front-to-back
supports are
fully seated in
the keyhole
slots, as
shown at right.
IMPORTANT! All shelf
supports must be installed
with the flange facing UP, as
shown at right. This flange is
what the shelves will rest on.
6. With the help of an
associate,
connect the two
unit ends with
left-to-right shelf
supports (Ref.
No. 3). Again,
be sure that
the flange on
the shelf
support is
facing up, and
that the shelf
supports are
fully seated, as
was illustrated
in step 3.
NOTE: Inset is shown
from opposite side.

8. Attach shelf
reinforcements
(Ref. No. 4) at
each level by
inserting the
keyhole slots
on the reinforce-
ment over the
rivets on the
supports and
tapping them
firmly into place,
as shown above.
NOTE:
Recommended
number of
reinforcements
per shelf are as
follows:
48" w = 1 reinforcement
72" w = 2 reinforcements
96" w = 3 reinforcements
9. If particleboard decking (Ref. No. 5) was
ordered, place the
decking on each
shelving level.
The decking should
fit flat on top of the
shelf supports and
reinforcements.
NOTE: If you
ordered wire
decking, it will fit
onto the unit in
the same way as
described above.
If you have
purchased a
single unit, your
shelving unit is
now complete and
ready to use.
For adder units,
see step 10.
7. Attach the remaining shelf supports at the desired
shelf levels, making
sure that all shelf
supports are
completely
seated in the
upright slots.
NOTE: If you
have purchased
additional shelf
levels, the shelf
supports for the
extra levels may
also be inserted
at this time.
10. If joining more than
one unit together, your
original unit should have been
assembled with ZTP uprights on one end, as
described in step 5. Simply
continue adding shelf
supports and uprights
to complete your
additional units.

*Quantities apply to the basic 3-shelf unit only. If you have ordered additional shelf levels, quantities will vary accordingly.
On items where a range is given, quantities will vary depending upon number of deck supports you received.
**Where the suffix "ww", "dd", or "hh" is used in the part number, the width (ww), depth (dd) or height (hh) is substituted in
the part number. For example, for an 84" high Angle Post, the part number would be EUR-84.
