Attaching the Cabinet to the Wall
WARNING: The evidence drying cabinet must be secured to a wall stud, or
other suitable wall structure, using the included strap(s) and bracket(s). This
will minimize the possibility of the unit overturning when in use.
1.
Remove the wall bracket secured to the strap, located on the back of the
unit on top (or located in the lower cabinet compartment).
2.
Locate a stud inside the wall directly behind the cabinet’s installation
location.
NOTE: The screws provided with the wall bracket are intended to be used
when attaching the bracket to a wooden wall stud. If your wall is made of
different materials (cinder block, concrete, etc.), you will need to attach the
wall bracket to the wall using an anchor or fastener approved for that type of
construction.
3.
Position the bracket, centered on the stud, with the top of the strap slot 79
inches above the floor. Mark the top of each screw hole, as shown in
Figure 3-1.
4.
Using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill, drill pilot holes at both marked locations to a
depth of at least 1-½ inches (38 mm).
5.
Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, tighten both bracket screws until the
bracket is secured to the wall.
6.
Thread the strap through both bracket slots (one strap per slot on 4' & 5'
cabinets), and then through both slots located at the top corners on the rear
of the cabinet (each strap goes through only one slot on cabinet on 4' & 5'
cabinets).
7.
Push the cabinet back into its final location, and then tighten the strap until
there is minimal slack in the strap. Do NOT overtighten strap(s).
