To assemble a cross member and extension bar, determine the desired
rack depth. Insert the small square tab of the rear member cross piece
into the correct square hole on the extension bar. Firmly push down on
the cross member so that the tab is inserted rmly into the extension
bar hole. Insert the push button rivet as shown.
Once the cross members and extension bars have been assembled,
the variable depth side rails can be mounted to the uprights (Please see
Detail A). Letters at each end of the assembly indicate top or bottom
installation, as well as which direction the assembly should be facing
(front or rear).
