ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

Page 6
RAISE AND RELEASE
DRAWER FRONTS
This unit is equipped with raise and release
drawer fronts.
To open, lift up on the drawer front while
pulling towards you.
To close, shut the drawer firmly until the
latch engages.
If the drawer does not stay closed, the
drawer contents may be the obstruction, or
the hook may be bent or it may rub against
the drawer slides. To fix this problem, lightly
bend the hook until the drawer engages in
the slide.
TO REMOVE DRAWERS
Pull the drawer out so it is almost fully
extended. PUSH UP on the black release
lever on one side, while PULLING DOWN
on the black release lever on the other side.
While holding the levers in the positions as
instructed above, pull the drawer outward
until it is released from the drawer slide.
PUSH UP (ONE SIDE)
PULL DOWN (OTHER SIDE)
TO REPLACE DRAWERS
Extend the drawer slides from the tool
chest or cabinet. Insert the brackets on
each side of the drawer into the slots in
the chest or cabinet slides, being careful
that they are positioned properly. Once
properly inserted, completely close the
drawer / work top to set the slides in their
proper positions.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
MAINTENANCE
Lubricate the casters with high quality
bearing grease once a year.
Lubricate the slides twice a year with
a product like WD40 or other quality
lubricant. This is especially important when
the temperature decreases, as the bearing
can become stiff.
Periodically clean the drawer fronts,
drawer trim, and other surfaces with mild
detergent and water.
Auto wax will preserve the storage unit’s
luster finish. Apply the wax as you would to
a car. The wax will also help protect the unit
against scratches.
Grease and oil can be removed with most
standard cleaning fluids. For safety, use a
nonflammable cleaning fluid.
