Safe Set-Up
1. Removing Safe from Pallet
Cannon Safe recommends contacting professional movers to install your safe.
By choosing to install the safe on your own you agree to hold Cannon Safe blameless
of any damage, injury, or death caused by your negligence.
Proceed with caution.
Use Caution. Safe is top heavy. While having someone(s) securely holding the safe:
• Open door, remove the 2 lag screws from the floor area (all four corners).
• Close door. If equipped with a mechanical lock turn dial back to zero and lock with key.
• With at least two (2) people, carefully slide the safe from pallet.
2. Placement of the Safe
Before placing your safe, verify the load bearing weight of the floor or stairs the safe will be moved over (tile,
wood, and other types of floors could be damaged by the weight of the safe). To help determine if the safe will
make it through doorways, stairs, or corners use the empty safe box to see if it will fit all the way to the final
location.
When choosing a location consider the following:
• Install the safe near a load-bearing wall as a precaution to support the weight.
• To protect the exterior finish consider installing the safe inside your home where there’s climate control.
• Where the safe is placed will have a big impact on how it will perform during a fire. Consider lower levels
(1
st
floor or basement) where temperatures tend to be cooler and try to stay away from potential hot
spots (areas where flammable materials are stored).
3. Interior Set-Up
Interior is subject to change and may differ depending on size and model.
• Install top shelf, or shelves at desired height using the provided shelf clips.
• The gun rack is already installed.
• Install side shelves.
• The cover plate fits directly over half the gun rack. This allows you to use
the rack as a shelf.
Shelf clips can be adjusted as needed. Side shelves may be installed on the right or
left. For an all-rifle interior remove the side shelves and cover plate.
