CART-SHELF: How To Attach To ROCK CART OFF-ROAD

Introduction

The Rock Cart Offroad can be expanded with the Cart Shelf, which adds an additional row to the top of your cart for transporting more gear. The shelf comes in two pieces—one longer panel for the contracted cart and a shorter panel for the fully expanded cart. This guide will walk you through how to attach the cart shelf to your Rock Cart Offroad.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Attaching the Shelf When the Cart is Contracted

1. Prepare the Hooks:
   • Take the hook pieces and ensure they mirror the hooks on the other end of the panel.
2. Loosen the Wing Screws:
   • Loosen the wing screws on the panel to allow the hooks to slide in.
3. Attach the Hooks:
   • Slide the hooks into the panel and tighten the wing screws to secure them in place.
4. Attach the Shelf to the Cart:
   • Take the hooks on each end of the panel and align them with the holes on the cart’s handles.
   • There are three rows of holes, allowing you to adjust the shelf to the top, middle, or bottom. For this example, we’ll set the shelf to the middle row.
5. Secure the Shelf:
   • Line up the hooks on each side of the panel with the desired holes on the cart handles.
   • Run the butterfly screws through the holes in the hooks and handles.
   • Secure the shelf by tightening the wing nuts.

Step 2: Expanding the Cart and Attaching the Second Shelf Panel

1. Loosen the Butterfly Screws:
   • Loosen the butterfly screws on the bottom of the cart to allow expansion.
2. Expand the Cart:
   • Pull each end of the cart to expand it fully. You’ll know it’s fully expanded when you hear a clicking sound.
3. Attach the Second Shelf Panel:
   • Take the second shelf panel and align its arms with the openings of the first panel.
   • Slide the second panel into place and tighten the butterfly screws to lock both panels together.
4. Attach the Shelf to the Cart:
   • Line up the hooks on the combined panels with any of the rows of holes along the cart’s handles (again, we’ll use the middle row).
   • Secure the shelf by running the butterfly screws through the hooks and handles, and tighten the wing nuts to secure the shelf.

Step 3: Placing Items on the Shelf

1. Load Your Gear:
   • Now that the shelf is securely in place, you can place items on top and bottom of the cart, keeping your gear organized and stable.

Step 4: Removing the Shelf

1. Undo the Butterfly Screws:
   • To remove the shelf, undo the butterfly screws holding it in place.
2. Lift and Remove the Shelf:
   • Lift the hooks out of the holes and remove the shelf from the cart.

Conclusion

Setting up the Cart Shelf on your Rock Cart Offroad is a straightforward process that helps expand your cart’s capacity to carry more gear. Whether the cart is contracted or expanded, you can easily attach and remove the shelf to suit your needs.
