Tools (Not included) ● Rubber mallet or hammer
Assembly Instructions Step 1 Assemble the Corner Posts
● 4200590 Corner Posts x4 ● 42001599 UShaped Crossbeam x2 ● 4200591 Crossbeam x2
Make the first level of the shelf by attaching the Corner Posts to the UShaped Crossbeam and Crossbeam. This will require two people to complete. Note that the rounded end of the corner posts is the top of the shelf, and the flat end of the posts goes on the floor. The rightangle edge of the corner posts point toward the outside of the shelf. Also note the orientation of the side stays in the image below. The UShaped Crossbeam should have the flat side pointing toward the bottom of the shelf, and the Ushaped end toward the top. There should be four unoccupied holes in the corner posts below each Crossbeam. You should use a rubber mallet or hammer to tap the Crossbeam down firmly into the holes on the corner posts.
Step 2 Seat the Deck ● 42001590 Metal Decking x1
Place the metal decking onto the Crossbeam such that the contour of the decking sits flush with the shape of the Crossbeam (the U shape of the decking should sit flush against the Ushaped Crossbeam). The “Kiva Systems” logo on the deck should sit on top of one of the straight Crossbeam. If the deck does not sit tightly on all sides you should check that you installed all Crossbeam correctly.
Step 3 Add the Walls ● 4200161410.5 Walls x2
Fold two of the cardboard walls at 90degree angles as seen in the picture below.
Place the folded carboard walls onto the deck, with the open side facing the two higher sides of the deck (one of the open sides has the “Kiva Systems” logo).
Note that the cardboard sits on the inside of the corner posts and should sit flushly against the
deck.
Step 4 Add the Dividers ● 4200161510.5 Dividers x2
Slide the dividers into the slots along the cardboard walls as seen below. The cardboard tabs on each divider should be bent in opposite directions (in an Sshape).
Step 5 Fasten the Dividers
● 2000499 Plastic Fasteners x4 Push the plastic fasteners by hand through the lower cardboard divider tab and deck to secure the cardboard to the deck.
Step 6 Build the Second Level ● 42001599 UShaped Crossbeam x2 ● 4200591 Crossbeam x2
Repeat the process from Step 1, building a second level of Crossbeam. Note that there should be 5 unoccupied holes on the corner posts between Crossbeam levels. The cardboard should be on the inside of the Crossbeam.
Step 7 Second Deck
● 42001590 Metal Decking x1 Repeat Step 2 to add a second deck.
Step 8 Second Deck ● 4200161409 Walls x2 ● 4200161509 Dividers x2
Repeat Steps 3 and 4, but note the slightly different size cardboard pieces.
Step 9 Fastening both Decks ● 2000499 Plastic Fasteners x8
Fasten the dividers from the lower deck by pushing the fastener down through the deck you just created and through the cardboard divider. Fasten the divider on the current deck similar to Step 5.
Step 10 Build the Third Level
● 42001599 UShaped Crossbeam x2 ● 4200591 Crossbeam x2 ● 42001590 Metal Decking x1 ● 4200161409 Walls x2 ● 4200161509 Dividers x2 ● 2000499 Plastic Fasteners x8
Repeat Steps 69 to build another level of the shelf. Note that there should be 4 unoccupied holes on the corner posts between the second and third levels.
Step 11 Build the Final Level
● 42001599 UShaped Crossbeam x4 ● 4200591 Crossbeam x4 ● 42001590 Metal Decking x2 ● 4200161410.5 Walls x2 ● 4200161510.5 Dividers x2 ● 2000499 Plastic Fasteners x8
Repeat Steps 69 to build the level of the shelf. Note that this step uses the 4200161410.5 and 4200161510.5 cardboard instead. Note that there should be 4 unoccupied holes on the corner posts between the third and fourth levels. Finally, build one additional level of Crossbeam at the very top of the cornerposts and place the last metal deck on top of it.
Congratulations! You have built a Kiva Pod! Note that the base height of the shelf is not the competition height. You will need to
support it so that the bottom level is at 0.78 meters from the floor.
