SECTION TWO
Set-up Procedures
The following procedures require two people to safely set-up the Kat
Klowder. Both sides of the unit must unfold simultaneously.
The Kat Klowder unfolds like an accordion, but the back panel must be stabilized by resting
on the floor. Lowering the unit disengages the back panel casters and will prevent the back
panel from moving during the set-up procedures.
The front casters should be engaged (touching the floor) and the back casters should be
disengaged (raised above floor) for these procedures.
Use the foot operated pedal to lower the rear casters on the back panel during the set-up
and collapsing procedures. Refer to Caster Operation to control the caster position.
Enlist help and USE SAFE LIFTING PRACTICES during assembly, installation and
moving unit.
Ensure the Kat Klowder is level during use and
when stowed to prevent possible tipping which,
if not avoided, could result in SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH.
Keep the area clear of personnel and animals
when raising and lowering the unit. Maintain full
control of the unit when operating the caster foot
operated pedal, which if not avoided, could result
in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.
STEP 1:
Retaining pin - Slide the pin out of the pin
receiver. Repeat this step for each side. See
FIGURE 2.2
STEP 2:
Unfold the Panels - Simultaneously (both sides) lift the top panel up to clear
the panels while pulling out the front panel. Careful to raise the top panel high
enough to clear the front and side panels as they slide out from under the top
panel, until the unit is fully extended. Hand placement is important while unfolding
the wall panels. See FIGURE 2.3
