Specific Operation Warnings
⚠WARNING
Do not lean, pull, or hang items on rack. Tipping may occur resulting in personal injury.
Do not exceed the rated load capacity of each bin, shelf, or the rack as whole.
Be sure to evenly distribute loads. Concentrating loads may cause the storage rack to fail,

Be sure storage rack is secured to wall at all times.

damage.
Do not allow children to play on or near the rack.
Assembly Instructions
For easiest assembly, do not attach the TOP (B) and BOTTOM (C) POLES until Step 5. Once
connected, these will be the posts for the rack. Each POLE (B+C) has slight horizontal line
indentations at each shelf position. Each SLIP SLEEVE (D) has raised horizontal lines inside designed
to lock them in place on the POLE (B+C).
STEP 1
On each BOTTOM POLE (C), place 1 pair of SLIP SLEEVES (E)
at the lowest position. BASE (D) end should be pointed down.
Make sure the arrows on SLIP SLEEVES (E) face up and that
the word ‘TOP’is right-side up.
Slide the pair of SLIP SLEEVES (E) until you hear a click to
confirm the pair is locked onto the BOTTOM POLE (C). DO NOT
place more than one pair on each BOTTOM POLE (C) at a time.
Note: There will be a very small gap in-between the SLIP
SLEEVES (E)—this is normal.

STEP 2
Place the SHELF (A) on its side and slide the (4) BOTTOM
POLES (C) through the corner cylinders of the SHELF (A). Make
sure that the SHELF (A) corner cylinders are positioned over the
SLIP SLEEVES (E).
Take 2 SCREWS (F) and put them through the bottom of the
BASE (D), the side with the feet levelers, and fasten them to
BOTTOM POLES (C). Tighten the SCREWS (F) with the ALLEN
KEY (G).
Repeat with the other BASE (D).
STEP 3
Stand the unit upright and push each corner of the SHELF (A)
until the top of the SLIP SLEEVES (E) are flush with the top of
the corner cylinders on the SHELF (A).
Note: The level side of the SHELF (A) is the TOP side (the
Strongway logo on the corner cylinders should be right-side up)
Use a rubber mallet, if needed, to secure the SHELVES (A).
STEP 4
Install the next set of SLIP SLEEVES (E) on the (4) BOTTOM
POLES (C) in the next position up from the bottom. Place
another SHELF (A) over the BOTTOM POLES (C) and secure
the SHELF (A) so the top of the SLIP SLEEVES (E) are flush
with top of the corner cylinders on the SHELF (A).
Repeat until all shelf positions on the BOTTOM POLES (C) have
a SHELF (A).
STEP 5
Screw the TOP POLE (B) into the BOTTOM POLE (C). The tops
of the TOP POLES (B) are indicated by the BLACK END CAP.
Make sure all (4) TOP POLES (B) are screwed on tightly.

STEP 6
Starting with lowest position, install the next set of SLIP
SLEEVES (E) on (4) TOP POLES (B). Place another SHELF (A)
over the poles and secure the SHELF (A) so the top of the SLIP
SLEEVES (E) are flush with the top of the corner cylinders on
the SHELF (A).
Repeat until all shelf positions on the TOP POLES (B) have a
SHELF (A).
The Feet Levelers are already screwed into the BASE (D) and
you can adjust as needed to ensure your shelving rack is level.
STEP 7
Place (9) BINS (H) onto each SHELF (A).
Before Each Use
Before using a new bin or reloading an existing bin, check for any damage. Carefully check that
the bins will safely hold the intended parts.
Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never load the storage rack when it has a damaged
part.
After Each Use
Store the storage rack when not in use. Store it in a secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the storage rack for good working condition before storage and again before the next use.
