ASSEMBLY
STEP 1 HANDLE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Assemble the handle first to make it easier to move the cabinet.
Position the handle over the holes in the cabinet and attach with the M6 x
12 mm hex bolts provided. Tighten securely using a 10 mm socket.
STEP 2 CASTER INSTALLATION
CAUTION
:
Two or more people are required to lay down or stand
up the cabinet. Use the side handles for assistance. DO NOT stand in
front of or behind the product during this process. Lock drawers before
proceeding.
Carefully lay the cabinet on its back, with a soft mat underneath for
protection.
Position the two swivel casters on the cabinet bottom, on the same side
as the handle. Insert four M8 x 20 mm hex bolts through washers, then
through each caster and into the bottom of the cabinet. Tighten securely.
Repeat for the two rigid casters on the other side of the cabinet.
RAISE AND RELEASE DRAWER FRONTS
Lift
These units are equipped with raise and release drawer fronts. To open,
lift up on the drawer front while pulling towards you. To close, shut the
drawer firmly until the latch engages.
If the drawer does not stay closed, the hook may be bent, or it may be
rubbing against the drawer slides. To fix this problem, lightly bend the
hook until the drawer will engage in the slide.
DRAWER REMOVAL
Pull the drawer out so that it’s almost fully extended. Push up on the
black release lever on one side, while pulling down on the black release
lever on the other side.
While holding the levers in the positions as instructed above, pull the
drawer outward until it is released from the drawer slide.

DRAWER REPLACEMENT
Extend the drawer slides from the tool chest or cabinet. Insert the

careful that they are properly positioned. Once properly inserted,
completely close the drawer to set the slides in their proper positions.
