3. CONTENTS
3.1 Carefully unpack the product and check the contents as
detailed in Fig.3. Should any items be missing or damaged
contact your Sealey dealer.
4.1 We recommend that this shelving unit be assembled by two
people. A rubber mallet or a hammer and a piece of wood
can be used to aid assembly.
Do not use a hard faced hammer directly on the beams as
this will damage their surface finish. Make sure that the shelf
support tabs are in line with the leg angle slots. If the tabs
and slots are not lining up do not use force as this may
damage the tabs. If the tabs are out of line bend them slightly
to line up with the slots.

4.2 SINGLE BAY RACKING
See Fig.4. Support two upright angle posts (A) in a vertical
position. Join them together at the base using a short step
beam (C). Tap the beam at either end, close to each angle
post to ensure that the tabs are seated in the slots.
4.3 See Fig.5. Continue to assemble the complete bottom frame
in the order indicated below in Fig.5 starting with a long step
beam (B). Ensure that each step beam is facing upwards. Tap
the beam at either end, close to each angle post to ensure
that the tabs are seated at the bottom of the slots.
4.5 See Fig.7. Take the 4 post inserts (E) and push them into
the top of the four angle posts of the bottom frame assembly.
Now join the two upper end frames to the bottom frame by
mounting each frame onto the post inserts as shown below.
4.6 See Fig.8. Now stabilise the frame assembly by inserting a
shelf support halfway up the frame that joins together the
upper and lower parts of the frame. As each step beam is
added ensure that the top tabs are inserted into the bottom
slots of the upper frame and the lower tabs are inserted
into the top slots of the bottom frame as shown below.
Tap the beams at either end to ensure that the tabs are
properly seated into the slots.

(C). Tap the beam at either end to ensure that the tabs are
properly seated in the slots. Make up a second upper end
frame using the remaining two angle posts and a short step
beam.

frame and one shelf support in the bottom half of the frame
at the heights required. Ensure that the beams are the
right way up. Tap the beams at either end to ensure that the
tabs are properly seated into the slots.
