Important Information Before You Begin:
PLEASE NOTE: Take pictures of the ClimaCab as it's being delivered and upon initial receipt. This is
important because a lot of freight companies require this if a claim needs to be submitted. We also
photograph every cabinet prior to it leaving the shop as evidence of the condition prior to
shipment. If there are any damages to the ClimaCab, please call us immediately and document
with multiple pictures. We have fully insured each shipment and time is of the essence in reporting
damages. Additionally, you can email us at [email protected]. As we learn more
about the damages and begin filing claims, we will work with you to determine the next steps in
getting a replacement at no cost to you. Each situation is unique and we ask for your patience in
putting solutions in place.

THREE TYPES OF STORAGE/DISPLAY OPTIONS
Please determine the appropriate storage system you selected with your ClimaCab.
Top Rail Hanging Storage/Display Option
The Top Rail includes a wood rail permanently affixed to the ceiling of the ClimaCab. It utilizes
String Swing hangers attached to trapezoid shaped blocks. The blocks slide along rail and are
removable at on the right side of the rail.
ProHang Storage/Display Option - Top Rail + Slat Wall
The ProHang includes the top rail with slat wall along the back of the ClimaCab. All slat wall is
hardwood runs from top to bottom and utilizes Sting Swing's slat wall hangers in addition to the
previously mentioned top rail hangers.
Neck/Bout Rest Storage/Display Option
The Neck/Bout includes cork lined bout rest rails which magnetically attach to permanently
affixed rails on the floor of the ClimaCab. Additionally, a rail is mounted along the back of the
cabinet which secures the cork lined hardwood neck holders magnetically to a power coated bar
routed into the rail.
When selecting your set and use instructions, please pay attention to which system the
instructions apply to.

SET UP AND USE DIRECTIONS
1.) To begin, move the foam lined crate near the final use location. The crate is constructed of 3/4"
plywood and each piece is secured with screws. Locate the front panel and remove it using a drill
or screwdriver with appropriate Phillips head drill bit.
2.) Once the crate is open, remove the foam piece behind the front panel and set aside. Repeat
the process with the sides and back pieces of plywood and foam pieces to gain full access to the
ClimaCab. At this point the ClimaCab should be sitting on the base of the crate.
3.) The easiest method to remove the ClimaCab is to first remove the lower section doors.
Information on how to remove them is included here. Following removal of the lower section
doors, a good handhold is along the face frame of the lower section. At a minimum, use one
person at the left and right side. Carefully grab near the front corners and place the other hand on
the back of the ClimaCab.
4.) With knees bent, lift the ClimaCab slightly off the base and set on the floor adjacent to it.
5.) Once uncrated, please inspect the entire cabinet for any damages during shipping and contact
us ASAP upon discovery of any damage. We will work with you to solve any issue big or small, so
please don’ t hesitate as time is of the essence in making insurance claims against the shipping
company.
6.) Open the bottom storage compartment doors to locate two boxes. Included in one box are the
accessories, including String Swing hangers (both top rail & slat wall), cork lined bout rails, neck
holders, any specialty hangers, the wood cover plate, Boveda Packet holders, the LED light
remote, handles, and other accessories which will require short installation during the set up
phase. In the other box is the Vigilant humidifier reservoir.
7.) For the Top Rail Display/Storage Option, the hangers will be attached to small angled wood
blocks. Carefully unpack the hangers and locate the small Allen wrench. The Allen wrench is
necessary to remove the small wood block that is threaded into the top of the ClimaCab ceiling
on the right hand side. Remove the block to expose the entry point of the hanger block. Insert the
blocks into the Top Rail and slide to the left.. The wood block will slide into the opening and
opposing angles will keep it secure. All hangers can be pivoted at the yoke with the small thumb
screw located on the back side of the yoke.
For the Neck/Bout Rest Display/Storage Option, remove the Neck Wedges from the box. On
the backside of the wedge, a single neodymium magnet is inserted flush with the wood surface.
This magnet attracts the wedge to the rail. Insert the Neck Wedge into the Neck Rail, mounted
approximately at the center point along the back of the ClimaCab. Remove the Bout Rails and

SET UP AND USE DIRECTIONS
7.) continued....
magnetically lock them to the rails permanently affixed to the floor of the ClimaCab. Move the rails
inward and outward to the proper position relative to one another.
For the ProHang Display/Storage Option, follow the instructions for the Top Rail and then when
the String Swing hangers into the slat wall, locate the small lip on the upper edge of the black
plate. Tilt the hanger slightly from vertical and insert the lip into the opening between the slats.
8.) Once the hangers are inserted, put them into the approximate location along the Top Rail, Neck
Wedge Rail, or Slat Wall based on the instruments you plan to store.
9.) Remove the humidifier reservoir from the box and place into the recessed portion in the floor of
the ClimaCab. The orientation of the humidifier reservoir should be such that the fill/air flow port is
toward the back for the ClimaCab. The fill/air flow port is located opposite of the fan and will
come with a slotted cover plate inserted into the hole.
10.) Thread the black wire inside the recessed box onto the nut on the side of the reservoir. The
wire will have 4 prongs on the end that must line up with the four holes on the reservoir side. Plug
in the cord leaving the back of the ClimaCab (which is from the power supply strip mounted inside
the humidifier box) into a standard outlet. Ensure that the light on the power strip is illuminated by
looking for the orange indicator light. If not, turn on power strip. Ensure the LED light strip and
humidifier power supplies are plugged into the power strip. Once the power strip is plugged in, the
LED light strip will be illuminated and the humidifier control box mounted to the rear center of the
cabinet will illuminate. It will automatically enter Standby mode for 10 minutes. Hold the menu
button and up arrow simultaneously to bypass Standby mode.
11.) Fill the humidifier to the max fill line with distilled water. NOTE: you can fill the reservoir with
less water until the warning on the control box stops flashing.. Once the desired amount of water is
inside the reservoir, you can opt to replace the slotted fill/air port cover plate or leave it out. Under
most circumstances, you'll want to leave the cover plate off. This is designed to be used during
higher humidity situations where passive evaporation is a concern and also when restricting air
flow would be beneficial. NOTE: The Neck/Bout Rest Storage/Display Option comes
automatically with a funnel and tube system to fill the humidifier without have to remove the Bout
Rails. Also, it's recommended to add a few drops of bacteriostat to each fill of the humidifier
reservoir to keep bacteria and mold growth from occurring.

SET UP AND USE DIRECTIONS
12.) Insert the wood slotted cover plate over the opening in the floor of the ClimaCab. If your
ClimaCab has the Bout/Neck Rest System, place the cork lined bout rests into place by locating the
small notch on the bottom side and placing that over the permanently affixed rails on the floor of the
ClimaCab.
13.) Set the target relative humidity by accessing the RH set point from the menu. Please reference
the Vigilant Owner's Manual document provided by Acoustic Remedy for further instructions on using
the humidifier. This can be accessed by scanning the QR code in this document and on our website
under Support tab from the main menu.
14.) Place the Boveda 2-Way Humidification packets into the pre-mounted cedar packet holders.
These are mounted along the center bar on the Petite+ and larger ClimaCabs. For the Petite size, use
the included magnet and/or velcro pads and install the mounting hardware by using the included
instructions from Boveda. Additionally, a common location to store the packet holders is along the
floor where the back and floor intersect.
15.) Begin placing your guitars into the hangers in any configuration you desire. All String Swing
hangers used in the Top Rail Storage/Display Option can pivot 180 degrees at the yoke. Certain slat
wall hangers pivot at the yoke and near the powder coated plate while others are straight fixed arms
of various lengths. The pivoting allows for multiple storage configurations. For the Neck/Bout Rest
Storage/Display Option, space the bout rails at appropriate distance apart for your guitar bout size.
For electrics, they will need to be closer together and for larger bodied acoustics farther apart. Also,
the further from the Neck Wedges, the more angled they will be to come into the holder and may
create issues with the strap pin on the bottom of the guitar. It's best to keep them close to the back of
the ClimaCab as possible. Align the neck holder with the neck of the guitar once it's placed in the bout
rails.
16.) On the two door models, the gasket will be compressed by magnets on the back side of the door
and opposite poled on the center bar. On the one door models, latches opposite of hinge side will
accomplish this important task
17.) We recommend keeping the doors shut at all times when not adding/removing guitars or
performing cleaning, maintenance to the humidifier and other necessary tasks to keep your ClimaCab
operating at optimal levels.
