1MEASURE AND FIT (WIDTH)
This organizer, and its components as purchased, require a wall space with a minimum width of 40 in. It can also be easily installed on a space wider than 40 in. However, if the wall
space is smaller than 40 in., the hang track and possibly the shelves will require cutting.
Measure the width of the wall space. The hang track can be centered on the wall or flush to one side. If you want it to be centered, determine the center point of the wall by dividing the
overall width by two, or if you want to have it flush to one side, position the hang track against one wall.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, use care and a safe, sturdy stepping stool to position hang track.

A) The hang track can be installed at any height, keeping in mind the overall height of your standards once installed. Be aware that the hang track is the highest point in the system,
meaning no shelving can be placed above it.
B) Measure hang track to desired height and use a level to assure hang track is straight before marking holes and making a level line.

3a FOR DRYWALL INSTALLATION
C) Insert a toggle bolt into the predrilled holes in the drywall. Be sure to install the toggle bolt assembly only in the holes where there are no studs. For any marks over a stud, use a

IMPORTANT: SECURE HARDWARE THROUGH EACH HOLE!
* Tighten toggle bolt first, then stud screws
B) Insert toggle bolts through the holes in the hang track that aren’t over studs,
and then thread the toggle anchor onto the bolt once it’s through the track.
