  1. Remove baseboards (if applicable) for all areas located behind a system.

    1. Prior to removal, cut caulk line.

    2. Using a hammer and pry bar, start prying baseboard away from the wall.  Pry at stud locations to minimize drywall damage.

    3. Try to start removal in an area that will be concealed if any wall damage is done.

If baseboards are not being removed, notch partitions based on baseboard size and elevation measurements.

  1. Ensure you have checked for the high point in the space.

  2. Hang system rail according to floor-based process steps.

  3. Prepare and hang partitions. If using par feet for support, attach par feet during this step.

  4. Install top, middle and bottom fixed shelves.

  5. Levelsystem from the high spot in the room. Slide your level across the top of the system and adjust the partition suspense brackets accordingly.

    1. Lower the partition to the ground at the high spot and level the remainder of the system.

  6. Plumbthe system from left to right using a 4-foot to ensure it is square.

If partitions are longer than 6 feet, check for levelness in two spots: high and low.

  1. If using shims for support, place them under the front and back of each partition.

    1. Ensure they are flush or inset half of the partition width if visible.
