Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.

enclosure from pallet, taking
care not to damage the bottom
edges. Then remove support
feet, access door, adjustable
glides and hardware kit

enclosure.
2. Place packaging foam or
cardboard onto the floor for
protection. As illustrated,
carefully place the enclosure
unit onto the protective
material and stand it up on its
back end, the wider side of the
enclosure unit (Figure 1).
3. Install the longer 38” foot
to the lower, wider end of
the enclosure bottom. First
