occur from rack tipping over. To prevent this, the
assembled rack must always be secured to a wall,
especially in earthquake-prone environments, where
surfaces are uneven, and where children and/or pets
are present.

•
Keep this information for further reference.
•
If you are not stacking a second rack at this time,
then please store the stacking brackets
(8) locking pins

Expandable Upright Frame Instructions
(Fig. C, D)
1. Place one (1) vertical beam
2
vertical beam
on the floor, parallel to one another
(about 22" (55.9 cm) apart). The widest part of the
teardrop-shaped hole pattern on each beam should
be facing upward (or away from you). (Fig. C)
2. Insert the free end of the diagonal beam into the free
end of the horizontal beam. Align the holes, and insert
both beams into the U-shaped bracket at the top of
the opposing vertical beam. Use the included hex
key or drill bit to thread the vertical assembly bolt
through the holes and into the weld nut
to the U-shaped bracket. Do not fully tighten the
bolt yet. (Fig. D)
3. Swing out the bottom horizontal beam, and insert
it into the U-shaped bracket at the bottom of the
opposing vertical beam. Thread a vertical Assembly
bolt through the holes and into the weld nut. Do not
fully tighten the bolt. (Fig. D)
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to assemble the three remaining
upright frames. Once all are assembled, fully tighten
the bolts on all four corners. Be careful not to over-
tighten the bolts; there should be no deformation of
the U-shaped brackets and/or horizontal beams.

Crossbeam Installation (Fig. E, F, G)
nOTE: It is recommended for one person to hold the
3
upright frames in place while a second person installs
the crossbeams
1. There is a set of locking tabs at both ends of every
crossbeam
and insert the tabs into two of the holes on the lower
portion of one upright frame. Engage the locking tabs
into the holes using a downward motion. The locking
pin hole should be at the top. Make sure the end of the
crossbeam is flush against the upright frame. (Fig. E)
2. Repeat for the opposite side of the upright frame.
Tap the ends of the crossbeam closest to the upright
frames with a rubber mallet until fully seated. The
crossbeam and locking tabs should easily slip into
place. If they do not, then recheck the alignment of the
teardrop-shaped holes and tabs. Too much force may
damage the interlock between the crossbeam and
upright frame. (Fig. F)
