Click "Play Video" above. 1: LOCATE
Ensure you locate the first Rackstuds™ at the beginning of the ‘RU’ space indicated by the thin section above the hole. More info about the ‘RU’ spacing can be found here. It is important you DO NOT randomly insert the Rackstuds in any hole. Seee the detailed video explanation above. 2: INSERT Insert the Rackstuds™ sideways (spring section towards the centre of the rack) at 45°. 3: PUSH Push the Rackstuds™ in allowing the spring clip to latch on to the vertical rail. Listen for the ‘click’. 4: CONNECT Press the the yellow washer on. These must be fitted, as they create the opposing force required to lock your equipment in place. NB. The washer will only go on one-way. If the stud was inserted correctly (on its side), the washer will also remain in a sideways position. 5: HANG Hang your gear on the top studs. Apply pressure to the front face of your equipment while securing the nuts (bottom ones first). If your equipment weighs more than 10kgs/22lbs, turn the nut up ½ turn with a #2 pozi screwdriver or with a 10mm socket/nut driver. N.B The Series II nuts have a dimple printed on the end cap to assist with knowing how far ½ a turn is...cool aye. You can buy a driver kit on Amazon here. 6: SUPPORT If possible, you should also support your equipment from the rear, especially if it is deeper than 400mm/15″.
