Step 1
This Instruction will cover the AJ48xx AdjustaCart
assembly and will place your Adjusta shelf
approximately 31” and your recessed shelf 20” from the
oor.
Before proceeding, please review the Assembly
Instructions of all Anthro products you purchased and are
planning to include in this installation.

Step 2
Determine the best location for your AdjustaCart’s

shelf installed above the recessed shelf (as shown in
these instructions).
For a recessed shelf location that is lower than 20”
from the oor, refer to the illustration shown at right to
determine which hole to attach your shelf.
TIP: You may want to measure your equipment to make
sure it ts between the selected shelf locations.

NOTE: This step requires the shelf assembly be positioned
a minimum of 12” or higher o the oor to allow the
Adjusta mechanism to be secured to the Adjusta shelf.
Place the mechanism onto the Adjusta shelf assembly.

the shelf underside. Secure the mechanism to the shelf
using a total of twelve Wood Screws.
Next, align the six holes of the brake assembly with those
on the shelf.
