Rack System Installation
No tools are required to install the rack system. The
support profiles are held in place by spring pressure.
The support brackets are hung into the support pro-
files and the insert trays slide onto the support brak-
kets.
Support Profile Installation/Removal:
The sides of the support profiles are guided along
protrusions [2] and [5] and held in place by protrusions
[1] and [6]. The support profiles identified by the dia-
mond-shape (u) are installed against the rear unit
wall. The retainer spring clips [3] must face up.
1. Place the support profile [4] on the lower protrusi-
on [6] and swing it against the side sample cham-
ber wall so that it sits on protrusions [5] and [2].
2. Clip the spring clip [3] behind the upper protrusion
[1].
3. To remove the support profiles, pull the spring clip
down and out of the protrusion by its tab, then re-
move the support profile.
