Secon 7: Drawer Slides to Bracket Assembly
NOTE: The drawer can be mounted on any
four foot frame secon of the frame. The
drawer can open one way, either to the
front or to the rear of the frame.
Step 1: Determine the locaon and direcon
of the drawer to be mounted. In these
instrucons the drawer is shown mounted
at one end of the frame, with the front of
the drawer to the front of the frame.
NOTE: The small gray bumper on the
largest part of the drawer slide, goes to
the back and the black guide goes to the
front of the drawer.
Step 2: Orient the parts as shown in the image at
boom le. Install the drawer slide
(item 2) to the mounng bracket (item 1)
with four screws (item 3).
NOTE: Move the two parts of the drawer

Secon 8: Spacer to Drawer Bracket
NOTE: Spacers with scky tape are provided
for the side bracket that does not have a
table top splicer. Table top splicers are used
where each four foot table secon meets
another secon, at both the front and the
rear of the frame. The spacers both go
on the same bracket to keep the drawer
level with the splicer end. The bracket with
spacers will be located next to an end leg
of the frame. If a drawer is mounted in the
center four foot secon of the frame, both
sides of the drawer will have a splicer, so no
spacers will be necessary. In this case, save
the spacers should you decide to move the
drawer to a side locaon later.
Step 1: Determine where the spacers will go and
take note of how they will align to the
proper bracket. See note above for more
informaon.
NOTE: In these instrucons we are
mounng the drawer to the le end of the
frame so we will need spacers on the le
bracket. The images show this posion
scenario.

Secon 9: Le Bracket to Frame Assembly
Step 1: Align the le bracket with spacers to the
underside of the frame, next to the end leg.
NOTE: This is best done with a second
person holding the bracket while you insert
the screws.
Step 2: Insert two large M8 X 20 anged screws
(item 1) through the bracket and up into
the threaded holes on the boom of the
frame top.
Step 3: Center the bracket le to right on the

Step 1: Remove the two screws at the end of the
splicer where the drawer bracket will be
mounted. These two screws will be replaced
by longer screws (item 1).
Step 2: Align the right bracket to the underside of
the frame. The edge will lay over the table
top splicer.
Step 3: Insert two large M8 X 20 anged screws

Secon 11: 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 not, try steps 4
through 6 again. Do not force the drawer
but remove it and try again. You may have
to push the small release levers again in
order to remove the drawer.
Step 7: Aer the drawer slides in and out smoothly,
fully ghten the two screws that were only
parally ghtened in Secon 10, Step 4.

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.
