Avrak Inc. Rotating AV Racks

Installation

Place your Avständ base on the floor where you wish to set up your system. Please remember that the center pivot point must be at least 12 ", for a standard size Avständ and 12 3/4 " for the optional wide rack Avständ, from any wall or vertical surface to enable the rack to rotate unobstructed. The base is hollow so it may be filled with sand or lead shot. Remove the brown plastic cap located in the top of the base. This will improve stability and also help “deaden” sound transfer from the floor.

Set the rack on the base and fasten it down at the pivot point using the bolt supplied. This bolt need only be lightly tightened. Rotate the rack to check for clearance.

Use the Allen key supplied to adjust the shelves to fit your components. If you have used the minimum measurements asked for in Step 1 the top will have to be removed to rotate the rack. If you wish to leave the top in place and rotate your rack you will have to reposition your base accordingly.

Set the top in place by lining up the wood pin mounted in the top wit the hole in the top plate of the rack. The top will be held in place by the 4 Velcro tabs.

Use the Velcro strips on the back of each shelf to neatly hold your wires in place.
Note: When reaching the maximum weight capacity, of the Avständ (350 lbs), grip the unit on the lower half to rotate it. This will avoid any undue stress that may occur when trying to rotate the unit from the top.

If you are installing the basic Avständ (no side panels), this is your last step, otherwise continue to step 6.

The side panels are the last component to attach. There is one left and one right panel. The rounded edges are to face forward. Set the panel in place by lining up the front edge of the panel with the front vertical rail on your rack. Have the top of the panel touch the bottom side of the top. You can now swing the bottom of the panel in place keeping the front of the panel and the vertical rail lined up. Press the 4 corners of the panel firmly to the rack so the Velcro will grip tightly.
