Installation


Open Printer Friendly Window

Required Tools:

  • an electric drill with 1/2" drill bit
  • tip or screw drivers for #8 and #6 Robertson screws
  • tape measure
  • level (optional)
  1. The opening, (be it a cabinet or custom wall opening), that the Avräk is to be installed in must be square and level front to back, top to bottom and side to side. The bottom must be made with plywood or a high grade composite board of at least 3/4" thick. Mount any electrical or cable outlets to the left or right of the cavity, not the center, for this will interfere with the rotation of the Avräk.
  1. Drill (2) only 1/2" hole, 5/8" deep. One at the top and one at the bottom of the rough opening centering them side to side and a minimum of 12" from the back.
  1. Insert the top pivot pin in the hole you just drilled in the top of the opening. Using 4, #6 x 1" screws supplied, secure it into place.
  1. Put the bottom pivot plate in place and secure it with 4, #8 x 1-1/2" screws supplied.
  1. Slide the Avräk into the opening. Remember, you will have to reach in and push both the top and the bottom pivot pins in so that the Avräk can be fully inserted into the opening. Be sure that both pins have "clicked" into the holes that are at the top and the bottom of the Avräk. Rotate the Avräk a few times to make sure that the pins have secured the Avräk in place.
  1. Now you are ready to adjust the component shelves. Use the Allen key supplied to loosen and tighten the large head screws that hold the shelves in place. Use a measuring tape or a level to align the shelves. HINT: once you have them in place and your components installed you can still adjust the shelves, don't loosen all 4 screws at the same time. Instead loosen one side and adjust slightly, tighten it and then adjust the other side.

  1. Place your components in the Avräk. Remember that the Velcro strips that are used to secure all your cabling into place are at the back of the Avräk.
    Helpful Hint: To help hold your components in place try using a high grade 2 sided tape under the front legs of the components.

WARNING:
Please note that when reaching the maximum weight capacity of the Avräk (350 lbs.) grip the Avräk on the lower half when rotating it. This will avoid any twisting stress that may occur when trying to rotate the unit from the top.
