Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of your new pamo Industrial Design Garment Rack, model LAS 3 Black. Please read this manual thoroughly before assembly and use to ensure proper function and longevity of the product. Keep this manual for future reference.
Safety Information
- Ensure all connections are tightened securely during assembly to prevent instability.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 300 pounds (approximately 100 kilograms) to avoid structural damage or collapse.
- Place the garment rack on a level, stable surface. Uneven surfaces can compromise stability.
- During assembly, keep all small parts, such as screws and fittings, out of reach of children and pets.
- While the rack is designed to be freestanding, optional wall attachment using the included screws and dowels is recommended for enhanced stability, especially in households with children or in areas prone to movement.
- Avoid hanging excessively heavy items on one side, as this can create an imbalance. Distribute weight evenly.

Assembly Instructions
The pamo Industrial Design Garment Rack features a simple screw system for straightforward assembly. No drilling into the floor is required due to the non-slip felt pads.
- Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all parts and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify Parts: Familiarize yourself with the different pipe lengths and fitting types.
- Assemble Base Sections: Begin by connecting the horizontal base pipes to the vertical support pipes using the appropriate cast iron fittings. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened initially.
- Attach Floor Protection: Apply the non-slip felt pads to the bottom of the base flanges to protect your flooring.
- Build Vertical Structure: Continue by adding the remaining vertical pipes and horizontal hanging rails, connecting them with the cast iron fittings. The system is designed to be modular and adjustable.
- Tighten All Connections: Once the entire structure is assembled, use the provided assembly tool (hex key) to securely tighten all screw connections. Do not overtighten.
- Optional Wall Mounting: For additional stability, especially if the rack will hold a significant amount of weight or is in a high-traffic area, use the included screws and dowels to secure the top flanges to a wall. Ensure you are drilling into a suitable wall material and using appropriate tools.

Operating Instructions
The pamo Industrial Design Garment Rack is designed for versatile clothing storage in various settings.
- Loading Clothes: Hang garments evenly across the two horizontal rails. Avoid concentrating heavy items in one small section to maintain balance and prevent stress on the structure.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute the weight of your clothing as evenly as possible across the entire rack. The maximum load capacity is 300 pounds (100 kg).
- Placement: The freestanding design allows for flexible placement in walk-in wardrobes, bedrooms, or other areas. Ensure adequate space around the rack for easy access to garments.
- Integration with Other Furniture: The thoughtful dimensions allow for integration with standard dressers or storage units underneath the hanging rails, creating a comprehensive open wardrobe system.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your garment rack, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the matte black powder coating.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screw connections and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Coating Durability: The rack features a MatteGuard powder coating, which is designed to be highly scratch-resistant and durable. Despite this, avoid sharp objects that could scratch the finish.
