assembled.)
b.
Install a cage nut (item 2 in Figure 11) in the left front post at the desired height of the thumb
screw on the left front rail.
c.
Install a cage nut in the left rear post at the same height as the cage nut in the left front post.
d.
Position the left rail so that the rail end labeled FRONT faces inward.
e.
Start with the rear left rail (item 3 in Figure 11); align the thumb screw with the cage nut and
holes on the left rear post. Gently press the rear rail end into the rack post and tighten the
thumb screw in the cage nut to secure the rail to the post.
f.
Align the thumb screw on the front left rail with the cage nut (items 1 and 2 in Figure 11) inserted
