PARTS AND FASTENER LIST

YourPerformance Partner

To begin the assembly of the Attic:

1. Hold a front frame (item 2) weldment with

the 3/4" x 1 1/2" tubing horizontal. Some

assistance may be required.

2. Position a side frame (item 3) behind the

front frame (item 2). (figure A)

Note: The offset holes allow the side frame to

be flush with the bottom of the front

frame and allow a height difference

between the tops of the two frames.

This gap is where the floor fits when

the unit is turned over.

3. Insert the 2" long machine screw (item 7)

through the front frame and then through

the side frame. Screw heads on the

outside of the front frame. Assemble the

nuts (item 6) snugly with the knurl locking

feature toward the tube. (figure A)

4. Position the other front frame (item 2) to

the back of the side frame and repeat step

3. (figure B)

5 Position the other side frame (item 3)

between the two front frames. Install the

hardware as described in step 3. (figure C)

6. Once the front and back frames are

uniform with the side frames flush with the

ends of the front frames and all frames

resting on the corrugation or floor, hold the

corners square and tighten all fasteners.

ASSEMBLY

figure C

7. Turn the frame assembly over, there should be a 3/4" gap under the side frames for clearance for

the floor material.

8. Install the four plastic square plugs (item 5) into the outermost top corners of the front frame tubing

weldment. The plugs will protect the Attic Storage System cover when it is being installed. Inspect

for burrs or other sharp edges that may damage the cover and remove them with a file if necessary.

(figure D)

9. With two people, carefully slide the cover, with the zippers closed, over the frame so that the logo is

toward the front and the seams are evenly and neatly arranged along the edges of the interior

frame. Avoid cutting or tearing the fabric by pulling the cover down evenly and slowly along all four

corners at the same time. Stop if there is a snag or excessive tightness until the material can be

moved freely into position. Two people are needed to install for optimal fit and appearance. (figure E)

Note: During cold weather, allow cover to reach room temperature prior to placing over the frame assembly.

INSTALLATION

10. Two people and step ladders are required to lift the floor (item 4) into position on top of the

cabinet(s). Measure first to be certain that the width and depth are correct and that the height (30")

of the Attic Storage System Storage System will not be obstructed.

11. Position the floor (item 4) 3/4" back from the front edge of the base cabinet. The holes on each

end of the floor should be aligned with the center of the cabinet(s) end panels.

12. Once the floor is aligned into position insert a 1 1/4" wood screw (item 9) into the center counter-

bored hole on each side of the floor. Drive the screw into the end panel of the cabinet to secure the

floor into position. (figure F)

13. Two or more people and step ladders are required to lift the frame and cover assembly up over the

floor and to set it down securely on top of the cabinet(s). This will be easier with the zippers all the

way open. Grasp the frame assembly securely and avoid getting fingers pinched between the frame

assembly and the sharp edges of the floor.

14. Be certain that the frame assembly is centered on the floor. With assistance, lift the back frame up

enough to bring the back material flap underneath the frame and up between the frame and the

floor. (figure G)

15. Repeat for the front flap.

Check all fasteners before

moving or raising the unit.

!CAUTION

Keep hands and fingers free

of being pinched.

16. Once the front and rear flaps are pulled in place, insert wood screws through the clearance holes in

the side frames and the floor and then into the center of the cabinet(s) side panels. Do not let the

screw wander to the side or at an angle as damage to the cabinet(s) may result. Do not fully tighten

the screws against the frame at this time, keeping about 1/8” clearance between the screw head

and the tubing.

17. Pull the cover down to best fit position, pull the rear flap up to tighten the rear fabric panel. Pull the

front flap up to approximately the same position as the rear flap and carefully close the zippers to

check that the front flap is lightly tensioning the front cover to keep it straight. Repeat as necessary.

18. Open the zippers and tighten the side screws to hold the Attic Storage System assembly in position

on top of the cabinet.

19. Note the information on the white tag on the inside, upper rear seam of the cover and be certain that

it is legible and not obstructed by items stored in the Attic Storage System during use.

20. The zippers may be locked by passing a small padlock through the holes in the zipper pulls.

21. Do not place any items on top of the Attic Storage System cover or frame.

22. Do not allow items stored inside the Attic Storage System to rest against the fabric cover.

23. The fabric cover is not fire rated.

24 Do not exceed a load of 40 lbs per foot of width, evenly distributed, on the floor of the attic.

25. Unstable or heavy items should be placed in the rear corners to allow more stability and lighter

items to be near the front of the Attic Storage System when the zippers are opened and closed.
