Rack Leveling Check

Using a large carpenter grade level, check the rack length wise (from end of zone to door). You should place the level between the tray support beams (perpendicular to them).

Repeat the same procedure depth wise (you should place the level between the front and back angles).

If the rack is not level in any directions, or you notice trays not filling up evenly (one side fills faster than the other), perform the rack leveling procedure.

Rack Leveling Procedure

On the bottom of the 6 rack uprights, you will find leveling feet.

The upper nut of the feet locks the height of the feet in place. You will have to un-tighten this nut to perform the leveling.

The lower nut of the feet extends or retracts the rack's feet.

Aided with a level, extend or retrack each feet as necessary to level the rack's shelf.

Once finished, re-tighten the feet's upper nut to lock the feet's height in place.
