For RR6U | RR8U | RR10U | RR12U | RR14U | RR16 U | RR18U | RR20U | RR22U | RR24U Models

Introduction:
This guide will walk you through the simple step-by-step process of assembling your RRU series rack. Whether you purchased a small or large rack, the instructions apply to all sizes. No technical experience is needed — just follow along and you’ll have your rack set up in no time.

What You’ll Need (Included in the Box):

• 4 rail pieces
• 4 wheels (2 with brakes)
• 1 front/rear stabilizer bar
• 1 top platform
• 1 bottom platform
• 2 side panels
• Screws, washers, and 4 cage nuts

Tools Required:

• Screwdriver or drill

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Attach the Wheels

• Take the bottom platform and locate the screw holes at each corner.
• Place each wheel over the holes and loosely secure it using two screws at a time. Do not fully tighten until all screws are aligned.
• Tip: Make sure the wheels with brakes are placed diagonally from each other for stability.

2. Install the Vertical Rails

• Flip the platform over and lock the brake wheels to keep it stable.
• Identify the square holes side and threaded circular holes side of each rail.
  • Square holes require cage nuts.
  • Circular threaded holes can be used without cage nuts.
• Choose which side will face front.
• Line up the holes at the bottom of the rails with the platform.
• Insert screws with washers, but don’t fully tighten yet (leave room for adjustment).
• Repeat for all four rails.

3. Attach the Side Panels

• Position one side panel at a time against the rails.
• If screws were left loose, adjust the rails to fit the side panels.
• Secure the bottom of the panel using screws and washers.
• Repeat for the other side panel.

4. Install the Top Platform

• Position the top platform over the rack, aligning the corners carefully.
• Make sure the pre-drilled hole on the top aligns with the hole on the bottom platform.
• Insert screws and washers loosely first, then tighten them after confirming alignment.
• Secure all sides (front, back, left, and right) with the appropriate number of screws.

5. Tighten All Screws

• Go back and fully tighten all screws that were left loose during earlier steps.
• Use a screwdriver or drill to ensure everything is secure.

6. Mount Your Gear

• Use the included cage nuts to install your rack-mounted gear:
  • Place cage nuts in the square holes of the rails where needed.
  • Line up your gear and use screws to attach it.
• Alternatively, use the threaded side of the rail to install gear without cage nuts.

7. Optional: Attach the Stabilizer Bar

• Decide whether to place it at the front or back of the rack.
• Line up the holes, then use screws and washers to secure the bar in place.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: The wheels don’t align with the screw holes. What should I do?
A: Loosely install the first two screws, then shift the wheel slightly to align the remaining holes before tightening.

Q: My side panels aren’t fitting correctly.
A: Make sure the rail screws are not fully tightened. Loosen them slightly to adjust the rails for easier alignment.

Q: Do I have to use cage nuts?
A: No. If you prefer not to use cage nuts, install your gear on the threaded side of the rail.

Conclusion:
That’s it — your RRU series rack is now fully assembled and ready to use. You can easily add or rearrange gear using the rails and included cage nuts.
