lock connectors. Assembly time is approximately 1 to
2 minutes per 84" (2134mm) frame.

LAYOUT INFORMATION AND CREEPAGE
When designing shelving layout, allow for an additional 1 1/2" (38.1 mm) creepage for each end
frame in the row and 1" (25.4 mm) creepage in depth for each end frame.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
•Post Connector requirements are for static loading only; no shocks, vibrations, seismic mobile or other conditions are considered.
•Always lock all post connectors on both sides to the posts that make up the shelving end frame. Refer to the assembly instructions guide for typical placement.
•Be sure the post connectors are tapped down completely so the locking tab can be fully engaged before twisting the locking tab as per drawing. It is the best to use a
chainsaw wrench but a 3/8" screwdriver can be used.
•Not locking the post connectors can lead to a dangerous situation and the shelving could collapse.
•Please contact your sales representative or the factory direct for help on design, seismic and mobile aisle, CDN./ U.S. 1 888 397 4353 •U.K. 01993 779494.
