Shelf Installation (Fig. C, D, E)
nOTE: Once the two halves of the shelf bushing are mated
together, try to slide them up and down the vertical pole.
They should not move if the shelf bushing ridge is properly
seated on the vertical pole groove.
nOTE: Only install the shelf bushing for a single shelf at a
time, starting with the bottom shelf level.
nOTE: When using a tape measure to space shelves, it is
recommended to measure from the top of the previously
installed shelf, measuring 24 inches, and using the nearest
vertical pole groove for placement of the next set of
bushings. For optimal spacing and function, place the shelf
bushings for the bottom shelf at the 2nd groove on the
vertical poles.
1. Install each half of the shelf bushing
vertical pole at the desired height of the shelf. Each
plastic bushing must be installed at the same level on
each pole. The directional arrow on the shelf bushing
should point upward. Ensure that the top ridge of the
shelf bushings aligns with the grooves on the vertical
pole to provide a secure fit. (Fig. C)
2. Insert vertical poles into the bottom of the shelf
Slide shelf down each vertical pole evenly until the
shelf engages with the shelf bushings and stops.
(Fig. D)
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each shelf. For even spacing
of shelves, space at increments of 24 inches or
approximately 24 grooves on the vertical poles from
the bottom of each shelf. After all shelves are installed,
use a rubber mallet or a dead blow hammer to tap the
corners of each shelf lightly. This will help to ensure
that the shelves are properly seated and secured
against the shelf bushings. (Fig. E)

WARNING: The maximum rated capacity
for this rack is 600 lb per shelf. Exceeding this
capacity could cause the rack to collapse and may
cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Failure to properly stabilize the
rack using the leveling feet and anti-tip
straps creates a tipping hazard, especially in
earthquake prone zones. Tipping of a loaded
rack can cause serious injury or death. Do not shake,
push, or climb on a loaded rack.
corner of the assembled, unloaded rack to check for
stability. The rack should have a firm feel and should
not rock or sway. If the rack rocks, it may not be level
with the floor. Check the bottom of each vertical pole
for any air gap between the vertical pole and the floor.
If a gap exists, turn the leveling foot counter-clockwise
