ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Assembly Preparation
Remove all contents from box. Reference the
parts list to make sure you have all the parts.
Verify your tabletop or workbench
can support 150 lbs. (68 kg.).
Failure to follow this warning
could result in damage to
property or personal injury.
Cover table or workbench to
prevent any damage to surface.
Step 2: Attaching Casters
Turn bottom tray (B) upside down. Align holes
in locking and non-locking casters (F & G) with
matching holes in the bottom tray as shown in
figure 2.a. Attach washers, lock washer and nuts
from caster bolt kit (C) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Ensure that both locking casters are on
same end of the cart.
Step 3: Aligning the Side Supports
Make sure the drawer assembly lid is open.
Place two of the four side supports (I) face up
on table as shown in figure 3. Place drawer
assembly (A) and bottom tray (B) on supports as

Step 4: Attaching the Handles
Align the other two side supports (I) with the
front corners of the bottom tray and drawer
assembly and let them rest on top as shown in
figure 4. Align the hole on the handle (H) with the
second hole down on the drawer assembly and
(un-attached) side support as shown in figure 4.
Insert handle bolts (E) through handle, through
the side support, and into the drawer assembly
as shown in figure 4. Secure with washer and nut
from handle bolt kit (E) and hand tighten.
Step 5: Attaching Bottom Tray and Drawer
Assembly to Side Supports
Once handle is attached, align holes in side
supports (I) with matching holes in bottom tray
(A) and drawer assembly (B) as shown in figure
5. Insert side support bolts (D) through side
supports and into bottom tray and/or drawer
assembly and secure from the inside with side
support washers and nuts until all side holes
have been attached and hand tightened.
Step 6: Securing Side Supports
Using two people, turn the cart upright. Continue
to bolt through aligned holes in the front and
back of the cart with the side support bolts,
washers, and nuts (D) as shown in figure 6. Hand
tighten. ALL holes should now be aligned and
secured.
Step 7: Tightening Bolts
Use a 13mm wrench and ratchet with 13mm
socket or adjustable wrench to tighten all
bolts. Once all bolts are tightened, your cart is
complete. See page 4 for parts breakdown.
