Installation

Leveling the Rack

The Rack will need to be properly level prior to the installation of any Rack Equipment to ensure stability. The surface the Rack is located must also be a flat level surface to support the weight of the Rack and Rack Equipment installed.

1. Determine the location of the Rack. Once this location is determined, use the level to ensure that the surface is a flat level surface.
2. Using an 14 mm Open-Ended Wrench, lower the leveler (4 located next to the Casters) by turning it clockwise until the base of the Leveler is tightly pressed against the surface, supporting the weight of the Rack.
3. Place the Level on the top of the Rack to ensure that the Levelers are adjusted correctly. If the Rack is not level make the required adjustments to the Levelers until the Rack is level.

Securing the Rack to the Floor

You can use the Pallet Brackets and Bolts used to secure the Rack to the shipping Pallet to securely fasten the Rack to the floor.

1. Align the two Pallet Brackets with the Bracket Holes on the bottom of the Rack's Door Frame. The Pallet Brackets can be mounted on the exterior or interior of the Rack.
2. Using a 13 mm Socket and Wrench, insert two of the Bolts through the Pallet Bracket and into the Rack.
