5. ASSEMBLY
WARNING!
Before assembly and use, ensure you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
5.1.
It is recommended that this tyre racking system be assembled by
two people. When installing the cross beams it is advisable to use a
rubber mallet.
DO NOT
use a hard faced hammer as this will damage
the surface finish of the cross beams. Make sure that all the clips
lock in place securely and safety bolts are fitted before using the
unit.
DO NOT
use any parts that are damaged and/or distorted as
these may assemble incorrectly and result in an installation that is
unsafe and which may cause injury or damage when the shelves
are loaded.
5.2.
ASSEMBLING THE END FRAMES (fig.1)
5.2.1.
Attach a castor (E) into one end of each of the uprights (A1 & A2)
using bolts M10 x 20mm (J) and M10 nuts and spring washers (K).
NOTE:
Ensure that the castors are attached in pairs for each
assembled frame, i.e. fixed castors on one frame and swivel
castors on the other.
5.2.2.
Place the uprights (A1 & A2) on the floor with the inner edges facing
each other and the castors at the base.
5.2.3.
Take one horizontal brace (B1) and one spacer (D). Insert into the
upright (A2) at the base area drilled hole and loosely secure using an
M6 x 50mm bolt (F) and a M6 nut (G).
5.2.4.
Place the other upright (A1) so that the horizontal brace (B1) aligns
with the base area drilled hole. Take one of the diagonal braces (C1)
and insert into the upright (A1) so that the hole aligns with the hole
in the horizontal brace (B1) and the drilled hole in the upright (A1). Loosely secure using a M6 x 50mm bolt (F) and a M6 nut (G).
5.2.5.
Align the other end of the diagonal brace (C1) with the corresponding hole in the opposite upright (A2). Take another diagonal brace (C2)
and align with the same hole on diagonal brace (C1) and on the upright (A2). Loosely secure using a M6 x 50mm bolt (F) and M6 nut (G).
5.2.6.
Align the other end of the second diagonal brace (C2) with the corresponding hole in the opposite upright (A1). Take a second horizontal
brace (B2) and align with second diagonal brace (C2). Loosely secure both to upright (A1) using a M6 x 50mm bolt (F) and M6 nut (G).
5.2.7.
Align the remaining end of horizontal brace (B2) with the hole of the opposite upright (A2), insert a spacer (D) in the gap and loosely
secure using a M6 x 50mm bolt (F) and a M6 nut (G). Place the last two horizontal braces (B3) together across the top of the uprights (A1
& A2). Loosely secure using M6 x 50mm bolts (F) and a M6 nuts (G).
5.2.8.
Check that the assembled frame is square and tighten all the fasteners. Repeat the procedure for the second frame assembly.
5.3.
FITTING THE CROSS BEAMS (fig.2, fig.3)
5.3.1.
Support one end frame in a vertical position and attach the end of one cross beam (I) to it at the base of one of the uprights A). Ensure
that both tags on the end bracket engage properly with the slots in the upright as shown in the inset diagram. Tap the cross beam gently
next to the end bracket so that the beam is properly seated into the slots in the upright. Insert the safety bolt (H) so that it is against the
beam and secure with an M6 nut (G). Connect the other end of the beam to the second end frame at the same height, tap into place and
secure with a safety bolt (H) and M6 nut (G).
5.3.2.
Attach another cross beam (I) to the other side of the endframes ensuring that it is at the same level as the first cross beam.
5.3.3.
See fig.3. Continue to assemble the next two pairs of cross beams (I) at the heights required. The end frames allow adjustment in 2”
increments. Each pair of beams must be mounted at the same height. Ensure that all tabs on the cross beam brackets are fully engaged
in the slots in the uprights and that the cross beams are properly tapped down into place then secured with safety bolt (H) and M6 nut (G).
