Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the TRINITY EcoStorage shelving unit is designed to be straightforward and requires no tools. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and verify against the Components List.
2. Attach Wheels or Feet Levelers: Decide whether you will use the unit as a mobile cart or a stationary rack. Screw the wheels or feet levelers into the bottom of the bottom poles. Ensure locking wheels are used for stability if mobility is desired.
3. Connect Poles: Insert the top poles into the bottom poles. The poles are designed to fit securely.
4. Install Slip Sleeves: At your desired shelf height, snap the two-piece slip sleeves around the pole grooves. Ensure they are securely locked into place. The shelves are adjustable in 1-inch increments.
5. Place Shelves: Slide a shelf down over the poles, ensuring it rests firmly on the installed slip sleeves. Apply even pressure to all four corners until the shelf is seated.
6. Repeat for Remaining Shelves: Continue installing slip sleeves and shelves at your preferred heights.
7. Attach Sidebar with Hooks: Secure the sidebar with hooks to the side of the unit at a convenient height.
8. Final Check: Ensure all shelves are level and securely seated. If using wheels, engage the locking mechanism when the unit is in its desired position.

Operation

The TRINITY EcoStorage 5-Tier Wire Shelving Unit is designed for efficient and flexible storage. Proper operation ensures safety and longevity of the product.

Weight Capacity:

• With Wheels: Each shelf can hold up to 160 pounds, with a total unit capacity of 800 pounds.
• With Feet Levelers: The total unit capacity increases to 4,000 pounds when using the included feet levelers.

Always distribute weight evenly across the shelves to prevent tipping or damage. Do not exceed the stated weight capacities.

Mobility and Stability:

• When moving the unit, ensure the locking wheels are disengaged.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your TRINITY EcoStorage shelving unit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the unit with a dry cloth as needed to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the chrome finish.

• Environment: This unit is designed for indoor use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or corrosive environments to prevent rust or damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shelving unit, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit Wobbles: Ensure all poles are fully inserted and all slip sleeves are securely locked into the grooves. Verify that the feet levelers are properly adjusted on an even surface, or that all wheels are making contact with the floor.
• Shelves Not Level: Recheck the placement of the slip sleeves for the affected shelf. They must be at the same height on all four poles for the shelf to be level.
• Difficulty Moving Unit: Ensure the locking mechanisms on the wheels are disengaged. Check for any obstructions around the wheels.
