NOTE: The lateral supports can be adjusted to three (3) different height positions (DETAIL “A”).

2.Align the upper, middle or lower mounting holes in the lateral support with the toothed adjustment slots in the back panel (DETAIL “A”).

NOTE: The grooves next to the mounting holes in the lateral supports are provided to ensure that opposite lat- eral supports are installed using the SAME mounting holes (FIGURE 1). To ensure that this occurs, install one (1) lateral support at the desired height and look through the toothed adjustment slot to see which mounting holes have been used. Then, install the opposite lateral support us- ing the SAME mounting holes.

3.Install the two (2) mounting screws and washers that secure the lateral support to the back panel. Hand tighten ONLY.
