Kat Klowder Models
Shor-Line's Kat Klowder is available with a sliding door or with a Dutch door. Both models
are designed to collapse (fold) into itself to free up floor space when not in use and while
moving the unit to different locations.

When the Kat Klowder is left unattended and in the collapsed position, always
disengage the casters to prevent the unit from unintentional movement.
The Kat Klowder should only be moved in the collapsed (folded) configuration with all
four casters engaged and the panel retaining pin in the locked position holding the closed
assembly together.
The unit is raised 1/2 inch above the floor surface when the casters are engaged, only move
along level paths. Take special care to maintain control of the unit when passing over floor
transition and through doorways. Verify width and height requirements.
Use other personnel to clear the path-ahead prior to moving through populated areas. Clear
the pathway of extensions cords or any obstructions.
During set-up, leave an accessible gap between the unit back panel and the wall surface.
The unit will tilt backwards once the back panel is lowered to the floor, take care not to
damage wall surfaces or the unit. The gap between the back panel and the wall is also
important to have access to the foot operated casters.
Enlist help and USE SAFE LIFTING PRACTICES during assembly, installation and
moving equipment.
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.
Do NOT attempt to set-up, collapse or move the Kat Klowder with one person; the unit
could tip causing personal injury and/or damage to the product could occur.
ALWAYS use at least two people to move the Kat Klowder, safely maintaining control
from each end of the unit.
ONLY move the Kat Klowder in the directions indicated on the warning label located on
the back of the unit. The unit could tip causing personal injury and/or damage to the
product could occur.
