Tennsco Z-Line Low Profile Boltless Shelving - Manual (Page 2)

Tool Needed: A rubber mallet for seating the shelf supports into the uprights. Two people
recommended for assembly. Approximate assembly time: 15 to 30 minutes per shelving section.
ASSEMBLY OF BOLTLESS LOW PROFILE SHELVING
4. Place a third front-to-back end support in the
middle slots of the two uprights.
This forms one end of the
shelving unit.
NOTE: There
will be only
three (3)
front-to-
back end
supports
per unit
end, as
shown.
These are
used for
rigidity
and are
not needed
at every
shelf level.
2. Depending upon whether
you are assembling a
single unit or an adder
unit, you may have one
or both of the styles of
upright shown at right:
Angle Post
(EUR)
"T" Post
(ZTP)
B. Two or more units with Angle Posts (EUR) on
each end and "T" Posts (ZTP) connecting each unit.
1. The reference numbers used throughout this
sheet refer to the illustration on the back cover.
This is to help you to identify the various parts as
they are mentioned.
5. Repeat steps 3 and
4 to construct a second set of unit ends.
NOTE: If you are planning to install an adder
unit, this second end should consist of ZTP
Uprights (Ref. No. 1b) to act as an intermediate
assembly. Carefully
re-read through
step 2 to better
understand
this.
A single unit will use EUR angle posts for all four
uprights, as shown below in Figure A. If you plan
on assembling multiple sections, however, you
should build the starter
unit with two ZTP
"T" posts on one end
(which will provide
common posts for
adjacent sections),
as shown in Figure B.
NOTE: Inset is shown
from opposite side.
IMPORTANT: The
support MUST be
inserted so that the flat
surface is on top as
shown in profile at left!
A. Single unit with
four Angle Posts (EUR).
NOTE: If
assembling a
ZTP upright
assembly (for an
adder unit), place
the front-to-back
shelf supports on
both sides of the
"T" post, for a
total of six VDRS
front-to-back
supports instead
of three.
NOTE: Every
fourth keyhole
slot is shaped
differently (with a
flattened top) for
easier alignment
of supports (see
below).

Every 4th hole
is flattened at top
3. With help from an associate, or using a wall for
support, connect two EUR uprights (Ref. No. 1a)
together with two front-to-back end supports (Ref.
No. 2), one at the top and one
at the bottom. When
inserting supports,
be sure the
rivets are
fully seated
in the key-
hole slots,
as shown.
NOTE: The
uprights
must be
positioned
so that the
narrow part
of the slots
is toward the floor,
as shown in the inset.
