• (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets
are not attached to the rack or if the rack is not bolted to the floor. Do not pull out more than one
drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
• (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001
