Leveling the Library
3
Completing this task requires leveling one side of the library at a time,
moving in a clockwise direction from the front to the right side. To do
this:
1 Move the library into its final position for installation.
Make sure you leave enough floor space around the library for
removing cosmetic panels, attaching cables, opening the front
door, and so on. For minimum floor space dimensions, refer to
figure 4 on page 3.
2 Lower each foot of the library until it makes contact with the floor.
Caution:
When adjusting the feet for leveling purposes, do not raise
any foot so high that excess weight is transferred to any
single caster.
3 Starting at the front of the library and moving from foot to foot in a
clockwise direction, rotate each foot clockwise so the
corresponding caster is raised approximately
1
/
4
inch off the floor.
4 Place the carpenter’s level on top of the front edge of the library.
5 Check the gauge on the level. If the front of the library is level,
proceed to step 6. If it is not level:
a
Determine the tilt of the library and adjust the appropriate foot
with the wrench, checking the gauge each time any foot is
rotated
1
/
4
turn.
b
Repeat step 5 until the front is level.
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 to level the left side, the back side, and the
right side of the library.
7 Check each side again as follows:
a
Starting at the front of the library, place the level on top of each
edge (front, left, back, and right) and check the gauge.
b
Make any minor adjustments necessary to the feet to make the
side level.
8 Repeat step 7 until all four sides are level.
