RACK 500 RACK EAR INSTALLATION
WE’VE MADE IT EASY
Here are the instructions for installing your new Vintage King Rack 500 Rack Ears. If you follow each
step, it should take about 15 minutes — just be sure to separate the screws and it’ll be a cinch.
We’ve worked hard to make the instructions as helpful as possible, but should you have questions at
any step along the way, we’re here to help at [e-mail].
If you’re ready, let’s get started.
