Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must beworn at all times when handling material and operating the power tools mentioned throughout this process. Review the PPE Matrix for further guidance.

  1. Ensure the Rafix pins are in the partitions in the appropriate locations. This should be done while prepping the partition.

If shelves are being installed on either side of a shared partition, double-ended dowels may be used and inserted from left to right.

  1. Locate the shelves in the staging area.

  2. Double check the measurements on the BOM and label to ensure the correct sizes are being placed in the correct location(s).

 Fixed shelf on the parts list

  1. Inspect the shelf for chips, damage, and missing or damaged Cams.

    1. Inspect the shelf prior to removing the sticker in case the shelf needs to be replaced due to damage.

  2. Check the Cams and ensure they are positioned in the shelf correctly and in the open position.

    1. If the Cams are not in the open position, the Cam may be damaged when placing the shelf and become unusable.

Cam in the open position

  1. Set the shelf on the Rafix screws and ensure the Cams are sitting on the each screw.

Keep fixed shelves right side up.  As these shelves are load bearing, it is important they are installed with the Cam side facing the bottom of the system.

  1. Tight Tighten each Cam clockwise until they stop turning using a Pozi #2 bit screwdriver.

    1. Do not overtighten.

    2. Ensure the screwdriver is completely inserted in the Cam.

When installing bottom fixed shelves, place the shelf on the Rafix pins, and lift the shelf up to tighten the back Cams with a small ratchet.  Place the front of the shelf down and use the small ratchet to lock in the front Cams.

  1. Check the shelf for tightness.

    1. Gently push upwards to make sure it is locked in place.

  2. Repeat for all remaining shelves, as indicated by an X on the elevation.
