Repeat step 1 to assemble the second Upright Post set.
Using two persons, stand up the two Upright Post assemblies in position and at-
tach one Cross Beam (6) into the second Slot from the bottom of the two Upright
Posts. These Cross Beams (6) have two metal Tabs on each end which slip into
the Slots of the Upright Posts (2). Make sure the Flange on the Cross Beam (6)
is facing up. This Flange will hold the Steel Shelves (7) in place (See Figure 1).
5.
6.
Repeat step 4 with a Cross Beam (6) on opposite side of Upright Post assembly.
Only one person is needed to finish the assembly. Continue to attach Cross
Beams (6) (Flanges pointing upward) at desired heights. The Cross Beams (6)
on the top level must be positioned at the top Slot of the Upright Posts (2). Make
sure each Cross Beam (6) is located in same Slots as the Cross Beam directly
opposite its height on the Upright Post (2). This is to ensure that wneh the
shelves are inserted, they will lay flat.
7.
Use a rubber mallet (not supplied) to drive the Wedge at both edges of the Cross
Beams (6) into the Slots on the Upright Posts (2) as deep as possible. Strike the
Cross Beam (6) with the mallet as close to the Upright Post (2) as you can.

right Posts (2) and Cross Beams (6). This is an important step and will keep the
Cross Beams from slipping up and coming loose (See Figure 3).
