2. Assemble top width brackets to vertical uprights. DO NOT TIGHTEN!
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).
