Assembly Steps

Follow these steps to assemble the pullout rail components.

Identify parts: Lay out all parts on a clean, soft surface to avoid scratches.
Attach brackets to rail: Slide the left and right mounting brackets onto the ends of the pullout rail. Ensure they are oriented correctly (refer to diagram on manual).
Secure brackets: Using the provided screws, fasten each bracket to the rail. Do not overtighten.
Extend rail: Gently pull the inner rail section out to its full length to ensure smooth operation.
Test movement: The rail should extend and retract smoothly without binding.

Tip: If the rail feels stiff, check for any packaging material or obstructions in the slide mechanism.

Mounting to Wardrobe Frame

This rail is designed for mounting inside an assembled AURDAL wardrobe frame.

Determine position: Decide on the mounting height inside the wardrobe. Consider the length of your clothes.
Mark bracket locations: Hold the assembled rail unit in position. Use a pencil to mark the screw holes for both brackets on the inside vertical panels of the wardrobe.
Check level: Use a level to ensure the rail will be mounted horizontally.
Pre-drill holes (optional): For easier screw insertion, pre-drill small pilot holes at the marked locations.
Secure rail: Align the brackets with the marked holes. Using the provided screws and a screwdriver, securely fasten the left bracket first, then the right bracket to the wardrobe frame.
Final check: Firmly pull on the rail to ensure it is securely mounted. Test the extension and retraction several times.

CAUTION! The wardrobe frame must be securely attached to the wall before mounting heavy items on the pullout rail.

Usage Instructions

Extending the rail: Gently pull the hanging bar outward. It will extend smoothly on its slides.
Loading clothes: Distribute weight evenly across the rail. Place hangers facing the same direction for stability.
Retracting the rail: Push the hanging bar gently back into the wardrobe until it clicks into the closed position.
Accessibility: The pullout function provides full access to clothes at the back of the wardrobe.

Weight Capacity & Limitations

Maximum Load: 33 lbs (15 kg). This includes the weight of the clothes and hangers.

Do Not:

Exceed the weight limit.
Hang on the rail or use it as a support.
Allow children to swing on the extended rail.
Use the rail for purposes other than hanging clothing.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure long-lasting performance:

Cleaning: Wipe the rail and brackets with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately.
Lubrication: If the sliding action becomes rough, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the slide tracks. Wipe away any excess.
Regular checks: Periodically check that all screws are tight and the mounting is secure.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents.

Troubleshooting
