Installation Steps
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times when handling material and operating the power tools mentioned throughout this process. Review the PPE Matrix for further guidance.
Take inventory of the poles you have for the installation. Place each pole in front of the corresponding component.
Open and prepare each pole.
Remove the poles from the plastic. Do this over a blanket to catch any shavings of metal leftover from the cutting of the pole.
Check for metal shavings underneath the plastic strip at the top of the pole.
All pole packages contain 1 pole and 2 sets of pole brackets. Each set contains 1 bracket for the partitions, and 1 bracket for the pole.
Attach brackets to the partitions.
Install the smaller bracket with the nubs on the back into the holes on the partition.
Unless otherwise indicated in the elevation, the bracket will be placed in the 2nd and 3rd System 32 holes down from the fixed shelf above.
Place brackets on the pole.
Place one bracket on each end of the pole with the open end facing down. The pole should have the plastic edge facing up.
Install the pole.
Set the pole with brackets from Step 5 above the brackets on the partition.
Slide the pole and brackets down onto the partition brackets.
Ensure the brackets are engaged and secure.
If installing a round pole, place the pole in the full coverage cup, and slide opposite end down on the half-coverage cup.
Troubleshooting Fit
If the brackets did not align, separate the brackets and make sure the bracket on the partition is tight to the partition. Retry the pole attachment.
If the pole is loose (Option 1):
Remove the pole and measure it. It should be ¼” shorter than the width itself.
If it is too big, cut it down. If it is too small, check the remaining poles on the job and ensure you are installing the correct pole.
If this pole is the correct pole for the space, retrieve extra pole from the van/truck and cut it down to size using a miter saw.
If the pole is loose (Option 2):
Remove the pole and place a screw in the bracket against the partition, and slide the pole back into the bracket.
This will ensure the bracket is tight-fitting to the partition.
If the pole is loose (Option 3):
Check to ensure the fixed shelve above the pole is locked in securely.
