9 INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) INSTALLING THE SHELF SUPPORT BRACKET (CONTINUED). Place the first upright tube on it s support bracket. Using a level to keep the upright tube vertical, make a V-mark on the chalk line 1 1/4 to the left of the upright tube. 1 1/4 Chalk Line V-Mark Upright Tube Wall Remove the upright tube from it s support bracket. 14. Hold the shelf support bracket with it s bottom edge on the chalk line and it s left end at the V-mark. If the wall is masonry construction, locate the first shelf support bracket here, referring to the fastener guidelines on page 4. If the wall is stud construction, it may be necessary to (1) move the shelf support bracket to the left until the punched holes align with the studs or (2) drill holes in the shelf support bracket to align with the studs. Warning: With stud wall construction, a fastener must be installed in every stud. Refer to the fastener guidelines on page 4. Chalk Line Move shelf support bracket if necessary. V-Mark Fasteners Shelf Support Bracket Each additional shelf support bracket must overlap the previous one so the end holes align.
