Where it differs from the manual

A sample we made from the maker's public manual: not made for, paid for or approved by the maker. Its name, logo and model are left out, and the manual's pages aren't shown.

  • The optional floor anchors aren't in the box, so they're left out.
  • The manual prints no part sizes; the parts are sized from the rack's published 49 × 35 × 84 in.
  • The manual's bolt size and wrench size don't match, so the video names the bolts by length and gives no wrench size.
  • The manual numbers its steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5; the video counts them 1 to 6.
  • The rear support is a plain plate: the maker's name cut into it is left off.
