Unpack
NOTE: Use two or more people to move and assemble shelving.

Remove and verify the contents. See “Parts.”
2. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
Assemble End Frames/Support Beams
■ No tools required.
IMPORTANT:
■ Use two or more people to move and assemble shelving.
■ Determine shelf spacing before assembly.
NOTE: It is recommended to equally space the shelves from top
to bottom of the shelving unit. See “End Frames/Support
Beams” illustration.
Attach Shelf Support Beams to Welded End Frames
1. Position the 2 welded end frames (P4) vertical with the foot end
of each frame at ground level and profile slots facing forward.
2. At the desired shelf location, align both of the support beam (P2)
end tabs with the inside triangular frame slots on the welded
frame (P4).
3. Press the beam tabs down to the bottom of the frame slot (2 tabs
for each end of the support beam). This will lock the support
beam (P2) to the end frame (P4).
NOTE: If the support beam (P2) end tabs become bent, adjust
the tabs back to their original shape.
4. Repeat for other end of the support beam (P2). Check that the
height is the same for both ends of the support beam and for the
front and back support beams of each shelf.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each support beam for all 4 shelf
locations.
NOTES:
■ Front and back beams need to be at the same height, or the
shelves will not assemble correctly.
■ It may be necessary to adjust the end clip tabs back to their
proper form if they have been mishandled.

Channel Support Assembly” illustration.
1. Rotate the tie channel support (P3) into the front and back
support beam (P2), aligning the tie channel rivet heads with the
matching large diameter hole of the support beam keyhole.
2. To insert the rivet head on the other side of the tie channel
support (P3), apply pressure to both sides of the tie channel
support (P3), squeezing the sides toward each other. Insert the
rivet head into the matching larger hole of the support beam
keyhole on the front and back support beam (P2). Release
pressure.
