What should I do if the screws do not fit into the MULIG clothes rack, and what are the translucent cap-shaped pieces?
Check the direction of the legs and the position of the screw holes. Use a correctly sized Pozidriv screwdriver to tighten the screws. The translucent cap-shaped pieces are protective packaging materials that prevent the tubes from being damaged during transport.
The screws do not fit. What should I do?
When attaching the legs to the uprights in step 3, the screws will not fit if the legs are facing the wrong way. Check the direction of the legs.
Attach each leg with the smaller screw hole facing inwards and the larger screw hole facing outwards. Insert and tighten the screw through the larger hole on the outside.
Because the parts are made of steel, the screws and screw holes are almost the same size. This can make the screws feel difficult to insert. Use a correctly sized Pozidriv screwdriver and apply downward pressure while turning the screw. Using the wrong screwdriver size may damage the screw head.
Where should I attach the translucent cap-shaped pieces?
These are protective packaging materials that prevent the tubes from knocking against each other and being scratched during transport. They are not parts that need to be attached during assembly.
