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.

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leg wrench to slowly extend the leveling leg clockwise, by the same number of turns as the leveler on the opposite was retracted - plus 2 turns.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.

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.
