Stacking Racks Vertically (Fig. Q, R, S, T)
nOTE: This CRAFTSMAN rack has the unique ability to
stack on top of another CRAFTSMAN rack of the same
width in order to form a larger combined rack. Included
with this rack are eight (8) stacking brackets
10
(8) extra locking pins
with the upright frames to join two racks together by
doing the following:
1. Remove the top caps from the upright frames of the
portion that will be on the bottom by using a small
mallet or screwdriver (not included) to lightly tap the
top caps from the underside. (Fig Q)
2. Remove the feet from the upright frames of the
portion that will be on top by using a small mallet or
screwdriver (not included) to lightly tap the feet from
the topside.
3. With the assistance of a helper, lift one assembled rack
and place on top of the other assembled rack. Carefully
align the top and bottom upright frames on both
sides. As one person stabilizes the top portion of the
vertically assembled rack, the other person will place
up to eight (8) stacking brackets
the two pieces. One stacking bracket will be placed at
each corner of the upright frames to join the seams.
If it is desired to place a shelf at the same level as the
stacking brackets, the crossbeams
replace one (1) stacking bracket at each corner of the
upright frames. (Fig. R, S)
4. Lightly tap the top of each stacking bracket or
crossbeam with a mallet (not included) to ensure that
they are fully seated and engaged. Insert a locking pin
16
into each stacking bracket. (Fig. T)
5. Up to three 36" high racks may be stacked
together vertically.
DANGER: When using racks in triple stacked (108"
high) configuration, the capacity per shelf is reduced.
NEVER EXCEED 1,000 lbs, EVENLY DISTIBUTED, per
shelf when using in triple stacked configuration.
NEVER move or shake the rack while loaded. DO NOT
lean other objects against the front or sides of the
racks. The racks may collapse causing serious injury
or death.
WARNING: If a locking pin cannot be inserted, then
the stacking bracket is not fully seated. Do not use
the rack without ensuring that the stacking brackets
are fully seated. The rack may collapse and serious
injury or death could result.
WARNING: The seam that joins the top and bottom
racks must be fully covered by either two (2) stacking
brackets, or by a stacking bracket and a crossbeam
(Fig. R.1, R.2). Failure to completely cover the seam
with fully seated stacking brackets and crossbeams
could cause the rack to collapse when loaded,
causing serious injury or death. (Fig. R.3, R.4, R.5, R.6)
WARNING: Never stack more than three 36" high
racks vertically (108" total). The rack may collapse
and serious injury or death could result.
