Unpacking and Attachment of the Second Side of the MXR Equipment Rack

 

[This is just a guide and is not a substitute for the manual.
It is rare for there to even be a decent manual these days - so, since you got one, you might as well check it out]

So, here we are: the first side of the HRS MXR equipment rack is unwrapped, with the spikes screwed on, and the braces, that will attach the one side of the rack to the other side, are also screwed on.

Moving the crate that contained the first side that we uncrated out of the way, we make an even bigger mess. No, I don't mean to sound like Felix Unger, sorry about that.

We then lifted the second side out of the crate and, as you can see here, there is no difference between one side of the equipment rack and the other.

Unwrapping the second side is also exactly the same as unwrapping the first - so no need to take a bazillion photos. And even better, you don't have to scroll through a bazillion more photos.

At this point everything is ready for the joining of the two sides of the equipment rack. We are going to lift the second side and turn it upside down and lower it onto the two braces that are to connect the two, as displayed in this photo. I think this would be really hard for one person to do by themselves.

With the racks joined like this - things start to take shape. We are leaving the one layer of wrapping paper on the sides of the rack so that mistakes and finger prints will not happen.

As usual with these type of assemblies, do not tighten anything until all the screws are hand tight. They go in very easily if everything is correctly aligned. Really. It may be hard to believe sometimes so just wiggle things - make sure everything is loose - but not too loose of course.

The manual recommends using a long level. Our level was exactly the right length - except that length included the rubber baby bumpers on each side - so it was actually a little shorter than what we would have wished for. But it more or less worked - it just required super-human placement precision and phenomenal attention to detail by the level wielders - aka Mike & Neli.

We also made sure that the rack was level in this dimension - though I personally think the vagarities of bumps in the wrapping paper, not to mention other wrapping materials and the carpet itself, made this kind of a moot point. Luckily it looked pretty level anyway or otherwise the queen of Everything has to be Perfectly Level would still be there trying to make it level. Me? If it looks level... we are good to go.
