Secon 10: Drawer Bracket Alignment
NOTE: The ball bearing slider in the inside
drawer slider goes together best when
pulled all the way to the front of the
inside slider.
Step 1: Pull the ball bearing cage assembly to the
front of the inside drawer slide unl it
stops into the black end cap.
Step 2: Pull the inside drawer slide all the way
forward. This will give it a lile exibility and
make it easier to align it with the slide part
mounted rigidly to the drawer.
Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other
drawer slide.
NOTE: It is recommended that a second
person assist you with pung the drawer
into the drawer slides.

Step 4: Align the drawer slides mounted to the
drawer with the black end caps and ball
bearing cages on the brackets.
Step 5: Slide the drawer slides evenly into the
slides on the brackets. You will feel some
resistance. However it should be smooth as
the ball bearing cages engage into the slides
on the brackets.
Step 6: Slide the drawer in all the way.
NOTE: Slide the drawer open and closed a
few mes to align the bracket that has not
been ghtened yet. The drawer should now
go in and out smoothly. If it is not moving
smoothly, repeat steps 4 through 6 again.
Do not force the drawer. Remove it and
try again. You may have to push the small
release levers on the slides in order to
remove the drawer (see Secon 1, step 3).
Step 7: Aer the drawer slides in and out smoothly,
push the drawer all the way in and fully
ghten the two screws that were only
parally ghtened in Secon 9, Step 3.
Step 8: Pull the drawer out and push in to make
sure it opens and closes without binding.
If it does bind, loosen the two screws that
were ghtened in step 7, and repeat
step 7 to adjust ghtness unl drawer
operates smoothly.

2 HG 01400-19 SCREW-PHP W 3.5 X 15MM ZN 6
ÂIMPORTANT: The drawer side faces cover
the drawer mounng bracket. Because of
this they are installed last, aer alignment
adjustments are made.
NOTE: The drawer side faces come with the
screws started into the wood; however, the
drawer has to be removed momentarily
while installing them. The alternave is to
leave the drawer in and take the screws out
of the wood side faces. The screws will then
have to be restarted into the wood from
under the table, where you will need to
ghten them anyway. You may nd it easier
to take the drawer out.
Step 1: Pull the drawer out and release the two
black side latches. Remove the drawer and
set it aside.
Step 2: Insert the heads of the three wood screws
through the keyholes and slide them
towards the drawer. Tighten the screws with
a #2 Phillips screwdriver (not provided).
Do not ghten completely unl nal
adustments are made.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for the drawer face on the
other side.
Step 4: Reinstall the drawer.
