IMPORTANT: SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR YOUR SAFETY Please Read Before Assembling or Using Shelving
• Shelving should only be assembled by trained personnel who have read and understand these instructions and warnings. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or product damage. • Install all shelving according to these installation instructions and use components only as directed. • Local safety codes and regulations concerning building, fire, sanitation or seismic requirements may apply to some installations. It is the responsibility of the retailer (Owner) to check with local building authorities to determine which codes or regulations may apply and abide by them. • Never use damaged parts. Damaged parts could cause instability of shelving and possible personal injury. If parts were damaged in shipment, contact your supplier to re-order replacements. • Never exceed allowable load limits as outlined within this document. If you are unsure about this, use the calculation examples shown within this document. • Caution: Exceeding load limits may cause the shelving to tip over or collapse. • Always install kick plates to ensure structural integrity. Using shelving without kick plates would leave the base brackets exposed to collisions from shopping carts or floor cleaning equipment causing misalignment or collapse. • Never hang shelves or other accessories on the side of a fixture that does not have appropriate base shoes installed. • Never hang shelves or accessories that exceed the depth of the base of an aisle or wall gondola even if properly anchored to wall or floor. • Always remember to install final trim pieces to protect shoppers and store personnel from coming in contact with sharp edges. • Do not lean tall or heavy items against shelving unless shelving is secured to a suitable building wall, to the floor or is otherwise secured to prevent overturning. • Racks or shelving that appears to be bending when fully loaded may indicate dangerous overload or impending collapse. Loads should be immediately reduced, and the cause should be investigated. Please refer to the load limits section of this document. • Do not off-load a side of a 2-sided gondola without checking for the possibility of an unbalanced collapse situation. • Provide a safe shopping experience for all your customers by allowing for unimpeded access to all levels of display shelving in accordance with applicable CCOHS / OSHA regulations. The display gondola was not designed to withstand the extra movement and weight associated with walking or climbing on shelves. • Never modify, or in any way, structurally change the shelving or any of its component parts. Modifications may cause the shelving or component part to become structurally unsafe or fail prematurely. • Do not remove a shelf that is merchandised with product. Failure to follow these instructions and warnings may result in the overturning or collapse of the fixture, resulting in personal injury to your customers or employees, damage to the fixture, or damage to property.

IMPORTANT: ANCHORING SYSTEMS
Floor Anchor
FLOOR ANCHORING: Floor anchors are made to secure the upright leveler. Follow local building codes to find your correct anchoring method. WALL ANCHORING: Wall anchors span the width of the wall unit and are attached to uprights. Once the anchor is in place it can then be bolted to wall studs. Check what type of wall studs you have to determine proper attachment fasteners. Always follow local building codes.

IMPORTANT: UNBALANCED LOAD CALCULATIONS
HOW TO DETERMINE AN UNBALANCED LOAD SITUATION: • Multiply the weight on each shelf (lbs) by 1/2 the shelf depth (ins) • Note: Loads on base shelves do not apply • Add up the totals for each side (Ins / lbs) • Find the difference between the loads on each side IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO EXCEED A DIFFERENCE OF 15,000 in / lb
FRONT LOADED SHELVES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AS THEY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE SERIOUS UNBALANCED LOAD SITUATION WHICH MAY RESULT IN TIPPING OR COLLAPSE OF SHELVING.

SUMMIT GONDOLA INSTALLATION
Measure and lay down your Summit Gondola Shelving System in your retail space according to your fixture plan. Mark the floor for run locations utilizing a starting point and one for the edge of each shelving. Snap chalk lines on the floor to ensure the shelving is built at the correct locations. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: 1 Please check all packing materials for contents before discarding any boxes or fillers. 2 Inspect all components for physical damage prior to installation. 3 Report any damaged or missing parts immediately. 4 Two people will be needed for this assembly. 5 Assemble the display in the area it will occupy. Step 1:
Kick Plate Base Shoes
Top Rails
Base Shoes Uprights Chalk Line
Bottom Rails Kick Plate Center Rails
Step 2:
Attach base shoes on each side of the uprights. Engage the spring-loaded latch by pushing it into the slot of the Upright. Latch will “click” when fully engaged. Latch MUST be fully engaged with upright. (Note: Shelving system might collapse if the base shoes are not installed properly)
BASE SHOE LOCKED Shoe will "CLICK" when locked. Spring lock must rest against embossment and latch must go through slot on upright.

Step 4:
Install the back panel. Slide down from top... DO NOT DROP BACKS ONTO THE LOWER RAIL! If run is 8 sections or less, install one back into first and last sections to square before leveling. If gondola is more than 8 sections then additional back(s) will need to be installed in centre of run for additional stability. Stand remaining Uprights in run, installing centre and lower rails between the uprights.
Install back panels from top. DO NOT DROP backs.
WARNING! Never allow framework to stand alone until a back panel is in place. Framework may fall! CENTRE SPANNERS must be installed!

Step 6: Leveling
Attach the nylon line to end upright as shown. Attach line at corresponding slot on opposite end upright, draw taut and secure. Examine all uprights at nylon line to determine the highest upright in run, excluding end Uprights. Pull this highest Upright forward until kickplate is on the chalkline. If run is a gondola, plumb at base shoe levelers; if run is a wall, plumb at upright and base shoe levelers. Plumb both first and last uprights using a level (provided in Installation Kit) against face of upright and adjusting the base shoe levelers only. Adjustment of the upright levelers is not needed at this time. Raise or lower end uprights until slots on ends and highest upright correspond relative to the nylon line while keeping the upright plumb. If run is a gondola, plumb at base shoe levelers, if run is a wall, plumb at upright and base shoe. Working with the remaining uprights in succession, making sure kickplates are on chalkline, then adjust for height and plumb using only base shoe levelers.

STMDISPLAYS.COM
The Summit Shelving upright and base shoe system is designed to function well under most merchandising circumstances. However, on some occasions, one side of an island may be more heavily loaded than the other, which causes the uprights to lean toward the heavy side. This may cause gaps between shelves on the heavy side. It is important to read all warnings prior to re-plumbing an island. Do not attempt to re-plumb an island that is overloaded (exceeding maximum allowable unbalanced load). B efore beginning, determine the unbalanced load on the wall or island to be sure it does not exceed the maximum allowable weights. See unbalanced load calculation. RE-PLUMBING AN ISLAND THAT HAS AN UNBALANCED LOAD 1/2” 1/2”
A fully merchandised island will often contain several tons of merchandise. Extreme caution should be exercised to avoid shelving collapse or falling merchandise, which could result in serious injury. Shoppers and other persons not involved in adjusting the island should be denied access to the area during this procedure. D o not remove the kickplate or base decks from a loaded island, as this may cause shelving collapse.
WARNING!
Before starting, the following are required:
• Two people (one for pushing and one for adjusting levelers) • Carpenter’s level • Leveling leg wrench or 7 / 8 ” open end wrench • A length of 2 x 4 or other similar material to aid in pushing against upright.
1 Identify the uprights that need to be re-plumbed by observing shelf gaps (as shown below) or by sighting down the line of uprights. Estimate how far out of plumb each upright is.
2 Move to the lightly loaded side of the island and find the first upright to be re-plumbed. Pry the Kickplate up about 1 / 2 ” to access the base shoe
3 Using the leveling wrench, screw in (retract) the leveling leg counter-clockwise about 1 turn for each 1 / 16 ” the upright is out of plumb.
1/2”
4 Move to the heavily loaded side of the island and locate the same upright. Pry up the kickplate to access the base shoe leveling leg. DO NOT TURN THE LEVELER YET!
5 Have the second person push on the upright face (heavy side) with the push bar. This will reduce the pressure on the leveling leg which is about to be extended. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTEND THE LEVELING LEG WITHOUT RELIEVING THE PRESSURE ON
IT. As the person pushing relieves the pressure on the leveling leg, use the leveling leg wrench to slowly extend the leveling leg clockwise, by the same number of turns as the leveler on the opposite was retracted - plus 2 turns. CAUTION: Do not extend the base bracket leveling leg more than 1 7 / 16 ” past the bottom of the bracket.
1/2”
7 Repeat steps 2-6 for each upright that needs to be re-plumbed. Look down the tops of the uprights to assure that the island is straight.
6 Check to be sure upright is plumb with the level. Repeat steps 2-6, if necessary, until the upright is plumb.
