1. Remove shelves and shelf supports from cartons. Keep same size shelves, supports, etc.,
together. (Shelves have beveled fronts with curved thumbcut; shelf supports have rows of loops).
2. Pre-configured sorter models use a combination of 11" wide and 12" wide shelves; shelves are
either 12" or 15" deep. Refer to table below for the size and number of columns (of shelves) for each
sorter width.

3. To install shelf supports, begin at either end of sorter. Determine the location of each shelf
support by measuring to the proper slot (in sorter bottom) with the selected shelf width -- or
count by slots (1"apart) to find the correct one.
4. Shelf supports are installed with their feet in the bottom slots and the top tab inserted in the
slotted strip protruding down from the inside top of the sorter. Make sure that the side of the
shelf support with loops closest to the edge fits toward the front of the sorter.
5. After all the shelf supports are installed (11" or 12" apart as required), install the shelves as
follows:
a. Pre-configured sorters (L" or G" follows sorter model number, i.e., SC6048G): the shelving
provided with the sorter will allow for 3" high pockets, although you can install the shelves
to create any height pocket on 1/2" intervals (loops are 1/2" apart).
b. Custom sorter configurations ("E" follows sorter model number, i.e., SC6048E): install
shelves at intervals as desired by the specifier or customer.
6. Begin installing shelves at either the left or right end columns, starting at the bottom and
working up the column until it is filled with shelves. Then move on to the next column until
columns are filled with shelves.
7. The actual installation of shelves is simple. Begin by inserting each shelf carefully between
the correct loops, keeping it level; slide it slowly inward a few inches. After it ramps upwards
slightly, you can push it in more quickly all the way into the sorter, where it will drop into place
(you may need to tap it lightly). If installed properly, it will be locked firmly in place so that if you
try to pull it straight back out of the sorter, it will not move. (To remove the shelf from the
cabinet, it must be lifted first, then pulled out).
