Channels Prepare the Wall Masonry Block / Poured Concrete Wall ■ Before installing GearTrack to masonry walls, you must waterproof the walls to avoid mildew or foundation damage. Walls that appear dry may actually become damp when enclosed by paneling. Install the channels in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Wood Studs and Drywall over Wood Studs ■ Use a stud nder to mark the edges of the studs within your planned installation area. Be sure to also mark the locations of electrical wiring.IMPORTANT: Compare screw length to electrical wiring locations. Be sure the screw will not pierce electrical wiring. Stud Finder

1. Locate Studs and Electrical

■ GearTrack Channels should be mounted to the wall so that they begin and end at wooden studs. Measure from the center of the stud at the beginning of the desired coverage area to the center of the last wooden stud that is within 32” (81.3 cm), 42” (106.7 cm) or 48” (121.9 cm), depending on the length of your GearTrack Channel.

2. Measure the Channels

■ If necessary, cut the rst channel to this length, making sure the cut is square.NOTE: Channels cut to shorter than 24” (60.96 cm) long should not be used.

Mounting the Channels ■ Holding the channel up in the desired location, drive a screw through the top slot groove and into the center of the stud nearest to the middle of the channel until it is ush with the surface.

1. Drive First Screw

■ Check that the GearTrack

Channel is level, and then drive a second screw through the bottom slot groove and into the center of the same stud as in the previous step.

2. Level the Channel

■ If splitting occurs, you may nd it necessary to predrill and countersink the screw holes near channel ends with a

(3 mm) drill bit. ■ Make sure all screws are installed and ush with the channel. ■ Drive a screw in every slot at every stud location. ■ Repeat this process for the next desired application area.

6. Repeat for Additional Channels

Channels on masonry block or poured concrete, you may put construction adhesive on the GearTrack

Channel before attaching it to the wall for extra hold.

NOTE: If channels are to be used to support accessory hooks and/or small item bins, they may be spaced in any way desired. If channels are being used to support Gladiator

Wall GearBoxes, they must be installed 18” (46 cm) apart. ■ From the front, snap the end cap onto each end of the run of GearTrack

Channel. 18" (46 cm)

8. Install Ends Caps (sold seperately)7

Panels ■ Snap a level chalk line at a convenient height on the wall(s). Measure from the chalk line to the ceiling and determine the lowest point of the ceiling along the wall. ■ Starting from the lowest point of the ceiling, measure down to the oor. Round the measurement down to the nearest foot and mark. Snap a level chalk line ¹⁄4” (6.3 mm) below the mark. Repeat step for remaining walls. NOTE: For partial wall installation, simply snap a level chalk line at the desired height of the bottom of the wall.

Plan your Installation ■ Install the rst stud at the starting edge of the desired coverage area to act as a guide. Drill a hole through the stud and into the wall surface. Follow masonry screw manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation. For best results use a hammer drill and masonry bit. NOTE: For extra hold, you may choose to put construction adhesive on the stud before attaching it to the wall. ■ Secure the stud to the wall by placing ¹⁄4” (6.3 mm) x 2³⁄4” (6.9 cm) masonry screws every 18” (45.72 cm).

Prepare the Wall Masonry Block / Poured Concrete Wall ■ Before you can install the panels on poured concrete or masonry block walls, you must install 2" (5.08 cm) x 4" (10.16 cm) wooden studs to the wall with the 4" (10.16 cm) side against the wall. The wooden studs must be installed over the entire area to be covered by the GearWall

panels. This provides a level surface on which to mount the panels.

Be sure to also mark the locations of electrical wiring. IMPORTANT: Compare screw length to electrical wiring locations. Be sure the screw will not pierce electrical wiring.

1. Locate Studs and Electrical

■ Use this stud as your guide. Measure 16” (40.64 cm) from the corner and snap a vertical chalk line using a chalk line with a plumb bob. Snap a chalk line every 16” (40.64 cm) from this point. ■ Align the center of the stud with the chalk line. Attach the remaining studs to the wall as you did in steps 1-2.

Be sure to also cut around any windows, doors, and outlets. NOTE: Panels shorter than 24” (60.96 cm) long should not be used. ■ Holding the panel up in the desired location, drive a screw through the top slot groove and into the stud nearest to the middle of the channel until it is ush with the surface. ■ Measure from the starting edge of the desired coverage area to the center of the last wooden stud that is within 4 ft (1.22 m). Take note of interference with any windows, doors, and outlets. ■ Place the panel above the horizontal chalk line applied in the “Prepare the Wall” section. Align the panel with both the starting edge and the horizontal chalk line. NOTE: If installing an optional trim kit, be sure to apply the trim at this time if mounting against an interior corner (see “Trim Options” for details). ■ Check that the panel is level, and then drive a second screw through the bottom slot groove and into the same stud as in the previous step.

NOTE: If installing an optional trim kit, be sure to apply the trim around any windows, doors, and outlets you encounter along the way, as well as to the nal piece of the row if mounting against an interior corner (see “Trim Options” for details). ■ Drive a screw in every slot at every stud location. ■ Repeat step 5, installing each following row of wall panels until the wall is nished. If the wall is wider than the 4 ft (1.22 m) panel, you will need to stagger the vertical panel joints in each row with the seams at the wooden studs, as shown. NOTE: The nal row of panels can be rip cut lengthwise to t the required height.

Trim Options ■ You may choose to apply trim to any exposed corners or edges. Below are some recommended congurations: NOTE: The current trim options do not apply to masonry block or poured concrete wall installation. ■ Trim may also be applied around windows, doors, and outlets.
