Installing Cage Nuts in the Rack Frame
After marking the positions for the fasteners in both the front and back of the
rack, insert cage nuts on the inside of the rails at the marked locations. The
cage nuts are included in the hardware kit supplied with the rack.
To install the cage nuts:
1. Position one of the cage nuts on the inside of a vertical rail on the front
of the rack.
2. Compress the sides of the cage nut and insert both lips into the square
cutout on the rail.
NOTE: Use a fitting tool as an aid to help install the cage nuts, if needed.
