Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw the 4 angle brackets (102720) onto 2 of the rails.
2 brackets per rail, one screw 109041 each — not the longer 108530.
Step 2
Join the 4 rails into a frame with the corner brackets (102652).
4 screws (109041) in each bracket — 16 in all.
Step 3
Lay the top face-down and set the frame on it.
Fix the angle brackets to the top with 4 screws (109041).
Step 4
Screw a cam bolt (118331) into each of the 4 legs.
By hand, all the way in. 2 legs have straight ends, 2 are tapered.
Step 5
Push a barrel nut (100535) into each leg, then screw in a threaded rod (100033).
Turn the barrel nut with the flat screwdriver so the rod can thread into it.
Step 6
Fit the 2 straight-ended legs into one end of the frame.
Rod through the bracket, then washer (100833) and nut (100712) — tighten with the spanner.
Step 7
Turn it over onto the side with the 2 legs.
Step 8 · manual step 7
Push 2 dowels (101351) into the legs and lay both shelves on.
The upper shelf sits on the dowels, the lower one on the cam bolts.
Step 9 · manual step 8
Lock the lower shelf to the legs with 2 cam locks (113434).
Push them in, then turn clockwise with the flat screwdriver.
Step 10 · manual step 9
Push 2 dowels into the tapered legs and lay them on top.
Rods into the brackets, dowels and cam bolts into the shelves.
Step 11 · manual step 10
Turn the cart upside down and bolt the tapered legs.
Washer (100833) and nut (100712) on each rod — tighten with the spanner.
Step 12 · manual step 11
Lock the other end of the lower shelf with 2 cam locks.
Cam locks 113434 — turn them clockwise.
Step 13 · manual step 12
Screw the 2 castors onto the straight legs.
4 screws (108530) each — wheels in line with the leg sides, not diagonal.
Step 14 · manual step 12
Turn the cart over onto its castors and feet.
Tips & safety
- Use the right screws. The short screws (109041) are for the brackets; the long ones (108530) only for the castors — manual steps 1–3 and 12.
- Castors square to the legs. The wheels must line up with the sides of the legs, not sit diagonally — manual step 12.
