36 Seven steps to assemble FlexFlow™ A. Frame 1 • Choose the frame support legs (equipped with an ad- justable screw, a wheel or a wheel with a brake). 4 pcs per base module and 2 pcs per module extension are needed. B. Spacer bars 2-6 • Start with one frame support leg and attach one width and one depth spacer bar to it. Attach another frame support leg to the previously assembled leg with spacer bars. Continue assembling the frame in this way. • One base frame with four support legs has four depth spacer bars, two width spacer bars and two horizontal tubes (four width spacer bars if horizontal tubes are not used). Horizontal tubes can replace the topmost width spacer bars which frees up all the space between the up- rights for items. If the items on the top roller shelf are taller than the upright height, horizontal tubes cannot be used. C. Roller top and loading/unloading shelves 7-8 • Assemble the roller tops and attach them to the assem- bled frame. The heights and angles of the tops should be defined here before assembly. Normally a 3 degree angle is suitable (29.52 inches deep shelf > 1.18-1.57 inches, 35.43 inches deep shelf > 1.57-1.96 inches). Shelf angles should always be checked after assembly and the angle adjusted accordingly. • Assemble the loading/unloading shelves (if ordered) and attach them at the correct height either on the load- ing or unloading end. Adjust the loading/unloading shelf to the correct angle. Please note that too large a differ- ence in the angle (> 3 degrees) between the roller top and the loading/unloading shelf may prevent the item from rolling over e.g. onto the unloading shelf. Roller top load capacity is 440 lbs per roller bed. D. Assembly rail pair 9 • The assembly rail pair is used for mounting the roller pro- files. You need one assembly rail pair per roller top or per loading/unloading shelf. • Attach the assembly rails to the ends of the roller shelves and/or the loading/unloading shelf. The rail with longer clips should be on the loading end or the higher end. • Do not attach the assembly rail with screws if you have a stopper/cover rail at the same end. E. Stopper/cover rails 10-11 • The stopper rail is used at the unloading end. It closes the open profile ends, strengthens the roller top and stops the item. The stopper rail is attached either to the lower end of the roller top or to the end of the unloading shelf (if ordered). • The cover rail is used at the loading end. It closes the open profile ends and strengthens the roller top. It has a cut for feeding the items onto the rollers. WORKBENCHES FLEXFLOW™ Ergonomic workspaces product catalog 800-437-6772
