Unbolting your gun safe from the shipping pallet

WARNING!

This is a two-person operation and should not
be attempted without help. Before attempting
to unbolt your new safe, be certain someone is
with you to help steady the safe while you
work. Ensure the safe is standing upright on a
flat, level surface. (Fig. A)

NOTA: Sentry Group is not responsible for any

costs incurred for unit to be removed
from pallet and installed in place.

Tools/equipment required

• Adjustable wrench, pliers, or 17 mm (11/16”) socket wrench

• Hammer

Instructions

Using a wrench or pliers, remove the nuts located under the X-cut in the carpet in the bottom of
the unit. (Fig. B)

NOTE: If the bolts turn when you begin to remove the nuts, reach between the

slats of the pallet and hold the bolts, by hand and/or with pliers, as you
turn the nuts.

Once the nuts are removed, use a hammer to tap the bolts through the bottom of the safe.

Close door and put handle in locked position.

With your helper, slide safe to one edge of pallet. Tip the safe so that the edge moves to the

floor. (Fig. C)

Remove the pallet and stand the safe upright on the floor.

Bolt-down instructions

To help provide maximum security, Sentry strongly recommends this safe be bolted down.
(Hardware supplied)

Select a suitable and convenient location for your safe. Set the safe in place and use the holes
provided in the bottom or back of the safe to mark the location of the holes to be drilled in the
floor or wall. It is not recommended to attempt to bolt to both floor and wall. If bolting to a
wall, please ensure that the safe is resting firmly on the floor.

Note: Fire-Safe models cannot be bolted to the wall.

Move the safe away and drill holes of the appropriate diameter and depth for the type of
hardware and the mounting surface being used (2 each – bolts, washers and masonry anchors).

Place the safe back over the holes and install the fasteners as required. If a water resistant unit
was purchased, rubberized washers are provided. Assure that the area around the safe hole
opening is clean using a damp cloth. Place the rubber side of the washer facing down against the
safe floor and install the fastener.

Water-resistant models must be bolted down. The supplied hardware

MUST BE USED to bolt the safe to the floor to ensure the watertight seal,

or the water-resistant claim is invalid. See “

Water-resistance protection

”

on page 6.

NOTE: Sentry Group is not responsible for any costs incurred if unit is to be replaced.
