Assembly Instructions
Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.
1. Locate the "perpendicular start
track" and unscrew the
pre-installed self-drilling screws
from the track. Take the Unite
panel frame which will join to
Genius Wall, and loosely attach
the perpendicular start track to
the vertical end of the Unite panel
frame using the studs of the track,
and k-lock nut (Figure 21).
2. Position the Unite panel
frame with loosely attached
perpendicular start track up to
the Genius panel joints location
where it will install, then mark
onto the previously installed
Genius Wall connecting trim.
Mark the height of the start track
to the connecting trim and Genius
wall, then remove the Unite panel
frame and start track. Remove the
Genius Wall connecting trim, cut
and remove the lower section of
the connecting trim, then replace
the connecting trim to above
where the Unite panel frame
will join the Genius panel joints
(Figure 21).
3. Uninstall the perpendicuar
start track from the Unite Panel
frame. Press the start track into
the Genius joint at the location
marked on the panel joints, just
below the Genius Wall connecting
trim. Re-insert the two
self-drilling screws (removed
in step 1) to the top and bottom
screw locations, then tighten the
screws through the start track and
into the joint between the panels
as illustrated (Figure 21).
Note: If the Unite panel frame
being connected is an "Elevated
Base" panel, then a small section
of Genius Wall connecting
trim can be cut to size from the
discarded piece, and mounted
to the location below the
perpendicular start track.
4. Move the Unite panel frame into
position, onto the studs of the
perpendicular start track, then
secure using k-lock nuts and flat
washers as illustrated (Figure 21).
