Frame Assembly
Step 1. Organize all parts on a flat, clean surface. All frame parts are
labeled with a letter and number. See corresponding parts list.
Use a hammer or rubber mallet to tap an End Plug into the tops of
each SR (right) and SL (left) Vertical Bar. Important note: The top
of the SR and SL Bars have bolt holes through sides of the bar.
The bottom of the bars have bolt holes in all sides of the bar.
Step 2. Take an S Vertical Bar and find the nut insert located inside
the end (Figure detail). Using the shorter /” bolt, connect
an ST Bar to the top of the S Vertical Bar by screwing the bolt
through the ST bar and into the nut insert (Figure detail). The
Bolt will be fully inside the ST when tightened.
Tip: Make sure the bolt enters the nut insert straight. If the nut
insert is off center, use a hammer and a bolt to tap the sides of the
nut insert gently until it is level.
Tip: You may need to loosen bolts as you go through the rest of
the assembly, so only partially tighten them for now.
Step 3. Using a ” bolt, attach an SB Bar to the bottom of the S
Vertical Bar (Figure ).
Step 4. Connect an SL and an SR Vertical Bar to the ends of the
SB. Insert the bolt through the large hole in the vertical bar first,
then the small hole, then the nut, so that your screwdriver is
inside the bar when tightening. The head of the bolt will be flush
against the inside wall of the SL and SR Bars when tightened.
Attach the ST between the SL and SR (Figure ). You have just
finished the first Side Frame.
Step 5. Repeat Steps through to assemble the second side frame,
then firmly tighten all bolts on both Side Frames, making sure the
bars are flush with one another.
Important: Completely assemble both sides before proceeding.
Step 6. Connect the ends of an A Bar between the top ST Bars
(Figure ). The open track of the A Bar should face toward the
ground. Insert the bolt through the predrilled hole above each
Guide Hole, then screw the bolt into the end of the A Bar on both
ends (Figure ). Connect the remaining A Bars to the S Vertical
Bars at the lower tiers.
Step 7. Connect the A Shelf Bars to the SL and SR Vertical Bars
at each tier (Figure ). Each A Shelf Bar is box-shaped with a thin
flange. Make sure the wide, flat side of the flange is flush with the
outside of the S Bars on each side and pointing toward the top of
the unit. The box-shaped portion of the Shelf Bars are positioned
inside to hold the Poly Trays (Figure ).
Step 8. Tighten all bolts on the frame, holding the bars in place as
you tighten. With the frame upright, make sure all outside edges
of the bars are flush and secure. Adjust the bars as necessary.
Step 9. Gently lay the entire frame on its side. Place a Caster Insert
into the bottom of all four S Vertical Bars. Firmly push a Caster
into each insert until it clicks into place (Figure detail).
Step 10. Stand the unit upright. Cover all the bolt holes with Bolt
Caps. Place Poly Trays on the A Shelf Crossbars. The frame
assembly is finished.
