WARNING

AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED FILE CABINET CAN BECOME UNSTABLE OR TIP OVER,

CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL FOR

CORRECT INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE.

These ﬁles are for storing and ﬁling non-combustible materials that do not require special

protection. Do not use this cabinet to store combustible or hazardous materials.

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN USING TOOLS

1. Be sure cabinet is empty.

2. Place a 24” level across the front of the cabinet

to level side-to-side. Adjust the front glides from the

outside of the cabinet using an adjustable open end

wrench. Turn the glides clockwise to raise the cabi-

net and counterclockwise to lower the cabinet.

It may be necessary to cautiously tip the cabinet

back slightly to make the front glide adjustments.

3. The ﬁnal glide adjustment is to adjust the glides

so that the front of the cabinet is higher than the rear

while maintaining the side to side levelness.

4. Check cabinet for proper operation. All drawers on

your cabinet should open and close smoothly and

be evenly aligned with the frame. The glide adjust-

ment and levelness of your cabinet can effect this

operation.

REQUIRED ADJUSTMENTS

Tools required for ﬁle adjustments:

· Adjustable, open end wrench

· 24" long level

Clockwise to raise

Adjustable glides are provided in the base of each cabinet. Depending on which model you have,

your cabinet may have 4 glides (one at each corner) or 2 glides in the front corners of the base.

Glide adjustment is critical for cabinet stability and proper operation of lock, interlock, drawers or

other moving features that may be present on your cabinet.
